NCINIs work by targeting the component of the virus responsible for viral DNA’s incorporation in the human genome, inhibiting HIV integrase by binding it to a novel site.
Under the terms of the agreement, Boehringer will receive an upfront payment and could also receive additional milestone payments based on development, regulatory and commercial advancements.
