Los Angeles, USA , March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BK Virus Infection Clinical Trials Review: An Update on Emerging Therapies and Treatment
The surge in BK Virus Infection cases spurs treatment opportunities, and many prominent players such as AlloVir, Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, SL VAXiGEN, Hybridize Therapeutics, and others come forward to develop BK Virus Infection therapies.
DelveInsight’s “BK Virus (BKV) Infection Pipeline Insight'' report provides comprehensive insights about ...4+ companies and ...4+ pipeline drugs in the BK Virus Infection pipeline landscapes. It comprises BKV Infection pipeline drug profiles, including clinical and non-clinical stage products. It also includes the BK Virus Infection therapeutics assessment by product type, stage, route of administration, and molecule type and further highlights the inactive BKV Infection pipeline products.

BK is a circular, double-stranded DNA virus from the polyomavirus family, including the JC virus and SV40. BK virus is one of 13 known polyomaviruses.
Antibodies to BKV are available in around 80 to 90 percent of adults globally, indicating previous infection or exposure to the virus. Initial infection with BKV is mostly asymptomatic or associated with a mild flu-like illness. After primary infection, BK Virus Infection continues to be inactive or latent in the kidney and bladder. A weakened immune system may lead to BKV reactivation and cause severe disease. In patients who have had kidney transplants, BK Virus Infection can result in transplanted kidney loss. In the absence of effective treatment, decreasing immunosuppression is recommended; but, reducing the immunosuppression can result in acute organ rejection. BKV reactivation in the bladder can lead to hemorrhagic cystitis. Severe cases need bladder irrigation, clot evacuation, blood transfusion, stenting, and nephrostomy.
There are presently no approved treatments for renal nephropathy or hemorrhagic cystitis caused by BK Virus Infection. The backbone of treatment for BK virus nephropathy is to lower the immunosuppression, as there is currently no particular antiviral for the BK virus. Clearance of BK viremia can be a sign of nephropathy resolution.

Viralym-M by AlloVir
ALVR 105 is a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched multi-virus-specific T cell candidate, also known as Viralym-M, developed by AlloVir.
Viralym-M is designed to function an essential role in linking immunity between conditioning and reconstitution of their immune systems. Reinstituting immunity during this time of critical immune compromise, Viralym-M may substantially decrease or prohibit virus-associated morbidity and mortality and dramatically enhance patient results. Viralym-M has the potential to transform care for transplant patients fundamentally, as well as people who are at high risk for opportunistic viral infections by decreasing or preventing disease morbidity and dramatically improving.
Research and Development
Phase III
NCT04390113: AlloVir commenced a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Viralym-M (ALVR105) for the treatment of patients with Virus-Associated Hemorrhagic Cystitis after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT) in January 2020.
The study aims to assess Viralym-M, an allogeneic, off-the-shelf multi-virus-specific T cell therapy, which focuses on six viral pathogens: BK virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus 6, and JC virus. The study hypothesis is to administer Viralym-M to patients with virus-associated HC will show superiority for the time to resolution of HC as compared to patients when treated with placebo. The primary hypothesis will be evaluated in patients with BK virus viruria to show superiority over placebo in this population (BK Intent-to-Treat [ITT] population). A supplementary analysis will be carried out in all patients with any virus-associated HC (cytomegalovirus [CMV], human herpesvirus 6 [HHV-6], Epstein-Barr virus [EBV], JC virus [JCV], and/or adenovirus [AdV]) to assess the efficacy in this broader population (ITT Population). The study is anticipated to be finished by August 2022.
