TMB-365: Next-generation CD4 targeting for long-acting HIV combinations
TMB-365 is a second-generation, long-acting CD4-targeted monoclonal antibody that builds on the scientific foundation established by ibalizumab/Trogarzo®. It is designed to combine a differentiated host-directed mechanism with broader viral-strain coverage and an extended pharmacokinetic profile suitable for long-acting development.

Building on validated CD4 science
Like ibalizumab, TMB-365 binds the CD4 receptor on host T cells and blocks HIV at the post-attachment stage of viral entry. TMB-365 was engineered as a next-generation evolution of that approach, preserving the host-cell target while addressing viral-strain sensitivity observed with first-generation ibalizumab.
A long-acting profile
Phase 1 clinical evaluation supported continued development of TMB-365, including its tolerability and extended pharmacokinetic profile. Those findings informed advancement into long-acting combination development.
Current application: TMB-365/380
TMB-365 is the host-targeting component of TMB-365/380, TaiMed's lead investigational long-acting maintenance regimen. In the combination, TMB-365's CD4-directed mechanism is paired with TMB-380, a broadly neutralizing antibody targeting HIV-1 gp120.Potential beyond the current combination
TMB-365's host-directed mechanism is distinct from virus-directed antiretroviral classes, creating the potential to pair it with other complementary long-acting HIV molecules. TaiMed intends to continue evaluating potential combination candidates through strategic research collaborations, in-licensing, and partnerships with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.TaiMed sees TMB-365 not only as part of the current TMB-365/380 regimen, but as a potentially reusable CD4-targeted component for future long-acting HIV combinations.
