MONTREAL, Oct. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 posters at IDWeek 2024:
Title: Impact of Tesamorelin on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Prediction Scores in Phase 3 Studies Treatment Arms: Subanalysis
Title: Cardiovascular Risk Scores and Insulin Resistance are Higher with Excess Visceral Abdominal Fat in People with HIV in the Modern Antiretroviral (ART) Era.
Title: A Prospective and Retrospective Observational Study of Multidrug-Resistant Patient Outcomes with and without Ibalizumab in a Real-World Setting: United States (PROMISE-US) Study Design and Baseline Characteristics
IDWeek is the joint annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America, the HIV Medicine Association, the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society and the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists.
