StockGuru Blog: Interview with the New CEO of The Immune Response Corporation

IMNRThe Immune Response Corporation

Stock Guru caught the new President of The Immune Response Corporation, Dr. Joseph F. O’Neill, today mid-way during his speaking tour promoting the new and exciting direction of IMNR.


“Our message is that we are building on twenty years of research with a dynamic new direction. We are building on an old company while becoming a new company. I left the White House to head up this company because I strongly believe in what we are doing and what we can do.” Dr. O’Neill thinks his message is important in the world of AIDS research. “Our approach is unique. No one else is currently working with this approach.”

Dr. O’Neill is an ‘insider’ in research and policy and has a unique role to play in this campaign of knowledge. He is working to get IMNR’s story out. He and his assistants have covered New York, Boston, Montreal, Vancouver, Florida, The Rodman and Renman Conference in Monaco and participated in several webcasts. IMNR will be attending a Toronto Conference August 13-18, 2006, as well. “I believe we are the only company out there with two Phase 2 products � in a field with the potential to become a multibillion dollar company.”

“I want the focus of the scientific community as well as the investment community. We recently made a presentation on the floor of the American Academy of Neurology� regarding our NeuroVax product. We also presented at the International AIDS Society in Toronto. Those are the very visible aspects of our presentations but I am also meeting behind the scenes with the leaders of research universities where I am sharing our findings and with that information exchange generating an interest in our work. This is important because these are the major medical centers. This is where the opinion leaders in and the intellectual leadership of our fields of research are found. Their support helps IMNR in terms of bettering study designs, forming alliances, and toning up research. These resources will serve us for many, many years.”

IMNR is an immuno-pharmaceutical Company focused on developing products to treat autoimmune and infectious diseases. The Company’s lead immune-based therapeutic product candidates are NeuroVax™ for the treatment of MS and IR103 for the treatment of HIV/AIDS infection.More to come on the impact of this speaking tour on the value of the company, IMNR.

ABOUT THE IMMUNE RESPONSE CORPORATION The Immune Response Corporation (OTCBB: IMNR) is an immuno-pharmaceutical company focused on developing products to treat autoimmune and infectious diseases. Their lead immune-based therapeutic product candidates are NeuroVax™ for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and IR103 for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Both of these therapies are in Phase II clinical development and are designed to stimulate pathogen-specific immune responses aimed at slowing or halting the rate of disease progression. NeuroVax™, which is based IMNR’s patented T-cell receptor (TCR) peptide technology, has shown potential clinical value in the treatment of relapsing forms of MS. NeuroVax™ has been shown to stimulate strong disease specific cell mediated immunity in nearly all patients treated by enhancing levels of FOXP3+ T Regulatory (Treg) cells that are able to down regulate the activity of pathogenic T-cells that cause MS. Increasing scientific findings have associated diminished levels of FOXP3+ Treg cell responses with the pathogenesis and progression of MS and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis and Crohn’s disease. In addition to MS, IMNR has opened Investigational New Drug Applications (IND) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical evaluation of TCR peptide-based immune-based therapies for RA and psoriasis. IR103 is based on their patented whole-inactivated virus technology, co-invented by Dr. Jonas Salk and indicated to be safe and immunogenic in extensive clinical studies of REMUNE® , our first-generation HIV product candidate. IR103 is a more potent formulation that combines its whole-inactivated antigen with a synthetic Toll-like receptor (TLR-9) agonist to create enhanced HIV-specific immune responses. IMNR is currently testing IR103 in two Phase II clinical studies as a first-line treatment for drug-naïve HIV-infected individuals not yet eligible for antiretroviral therapy according to current medical guidelines. In early 2006 IMNR made a strategic decision to accelerate the development of IR103, rather than pursue a Phase III trial with REMUNE® . All of IMNR products are still in the development stage. IMNR has never had revenues from the sale of products. IMNR was founded in 1986.
