“We are excited to continue to make the Hepatitis B community aware of our progress for the therapeutic vaccine candidate CLB-3000, toward first in human trials and our confidence in this novel and differentiated approach” said Aileen Rubio, PhD., CEO for the company. Chronic infection with Hepatitis B (CHB) remains a significant global disease infecting hundreds of millions of people, where functional cure remains elusive and combination therapies are likely needed. We believe that re-education of patients’ immune systems to break tolerance of their chronic HBV infections through administration of ClearB’s therapeutic vaccine could become an important component of combination treatment regimens.”
