WEP Clinical LTD (WEP), a specialist services company that works with pharmaceutical companies to help patients and physicians gain access to medicines when no other treatment options are available, has partnered with TaiMed Biologics to launch a Named Patient Program (NPP) for TROGARZO®, an IV treatment administered every two weeks for patients with muti-drug resistant HIV disease.
The NPP is designed to ensure that physicians in Europe and other regions around the world, where TROGARZO® is not commercially available, can request TROGARZO® on behalf of individual patients who have trouble achieving viral suppression using standard HIV regimens.
Jas Khera, Managing Director of WEP, said:
“We are grateful to partner with TaiMed Biologics to help ensure broader access to this important HIV treatment option. The WEP Clinical team is looking forward to making TROGARZO® available to patients in Europe and rest of the world having a need for this specific HIV treatment.”

About TROGARZO®
TROGARZO® (ibalizumab-uiyk) is approved in the United States of America by the FDA as a CD4-directed post-attachment HIV-1 inhibitor, in combination with other antiretroviral(s), is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in heavily treatment experienced adults with multidrug resistant HIV-1 infection failing their current antiretroviral regimen.
TROGARZO® is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that works to block HIV-1 from infecting CD4+ T cells by binding to domain 2 of CD4 and interfering with post-attachment steps required for the entry of HIV-1 virus particles into host cells and preventing the viral transmission that occurs via cell-cell fusion. TROGARZO® is administered as an intravenous infusion or intravenous push every 2 weeks.
