ABX203, a therapeutic vaccine against HBV

ABX 203 is a therapeutic vaccine candidate obtained from the Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Cuba (CIGB) and is intended for patients with chronic hepatitis B disease. It is composed of both the Hbs and Hbc antigens and thus a mix of 2 VLP structures. ABX 203 has successfully been tested in a phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers as well as in phase 1 study and two phase 2 studies in patients with chronic hepatitis B disease. The candidate vaccine is scheduled to enter into a pivotal phase 2/3 clinical trial in Asia in late 20

It seems the results of Phase II would be promising and then ABIVAX agreed to invest and colloborate with CIGB in order to carry out Phase IIb and III.

I have no idea. It is no longer a safety issue, I think, but they are not sure about dosage, frequency, duration, whether in mono or combination, and types of patients.  Their previous results were very encouraging and I am sure they will find the right combination.
Just my opinion.

A typo, the sentence should read:

The candidate vaccine is scheduled to enter into a pivotal phase 2/3 clinical trial in Asia in late 2014.
