Mechanism of action

ASP0113 is a dendritic cell-targeted vaccine encoding CMV antigens (IE-1 and pp65) designed to enhance CMV-specific T-cell immunity. It works by activating dendritic cells to present CMV antigens, thereby boosting cellular immune responses against CMV-infected cells. This approach aims to prevent CMV reactivation and disease in immunocompromised patients, particularly those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation.
