Theratechnologies to Present Data at IDWeek 2024 Highlighting Advances in Treatment and Management of Complications in People with HIV
October 09 2024 - 6:30AM
Theratechnologies Inc. (“Theratechnologies” or the “Company”) (TSX:
TH) (NASDAQ: THTX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on
development and commercialization of innovative therapies, today
announced three upcoming poster presentations at IDWeek 2024,
taking place October 16-19 in Los Angeles, Calif.
One poster presents data linking excess visceral
abdominal fat (EVAF) to increased cardiovascular risk in people
with HIV, while a second poster documents how use of tesamorelin, a
growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRF) analog, to reduce EVAF can
lower cardiovascular disease risk in persons with HIV. Another
poster reports on the study design and baseline characteristics of
the PROMISE-US trial, an observational, real-world study of
ibalizumab, a CD4-directed post-attachment inhibitor of HIV, in
heavily treatment-experienced patients with multidrug
resistance.
“The IDWeek poster presentations shed new light
on important medical issues facing people with HIV,” said Christian
Marsolais, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer
of Theratechnologies. “As people live longer with HIV and with
greater exposure to anti-retroviral medicines, they may experience
higher amounts of excess visceral abdominal fat and risk multidrug
resistance. We look forward to sharing our findings with HIV
clinicians and researchers at this premier meeting on infectious
disease.”
Theratechnologies will present the following
