The proceeds will be used to advance its unique, in-house, silica-based, drug delivery technology platform into clinical development, including DST1308 in Chronic Hepatitis B, as well as expanding its in-house manufacturing capability.
AB-729 is a subcutaneously-delivered RNAi therapeutic specifically designed to reduce all HBV viral antigens, which is thought to be a key prerequisite to enable reawakening of a patient’s immune system to respond to virus.
AB-729 is an RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic specifically designed to reduce all HBV viral proteins and antigens, including hepatitis B surface antigen, which is thought to be a key prerequisite to enable reawakening of a patient’s immune system to respond to the virus.
ABI-H0731 (Vebicorvir), is a first-generation core inhibitors has been shown to be well-tolerated and statistically superior in antiviral activity in hepatitis B virus DNA suppression.
ABI-H0731, a first-generation hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein inhibitor, has demonstrated effective antiviral activity in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients also exhibited selective inhibition of HBV DNA replication.
The Phase 2 clinical study for ABI-H2158 is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in treatment-naïve patients with HBeAg positive or HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B infection without cirrhosis.
Assembly Biosciences is foregoing its plans to initiate Phase 3 registrational studies of vebicorvir (VBR, or ABI-H0731) as a chronic suppressive therapy (CST) to concentrate its research and development efforts on finite and curative HBV therapies.
In Phase 2 clinical trials, first-generation core inhibitor vebicorvir administered with nucleos(t)ide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy has been well-tolerated, has shown statistically superior antiviral activity in HBV DNA suppression to NrtI therapy alone.
Assembly’s novel core inhibitor vebicorvir in combination with standard-of-care NrtI continues to demonstrate a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no observed treatment-emergent resistance in patients with HBeAg negative chronic HBV infection.
