How is Trogarzo used in the treatment of HIV?
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on Sep 28, 2023.
Trogarzo (ibalizumab-uiyk) is used to treat the small percentage of patients who have multidrug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus type 1 HIV (MDR HIV-1 Infection) and who have failed other HIV therapies.
Trogarzo is a first-in-class CD4-directed post-attachment HIV-1 inhibitor that works by binding to CD4+ receptors on host cells and blocking the HIV virus from infecting the cells. It is the first monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of MDR HIV-1 infection, and is used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs.
Trogarzo is administered intravenously (IV) once every 14 days by a trained medical professional.
