Find Clinical Drug Pipeline Developments & Deals for VIR-2218
VBI-2601 (BRII-179) is a novel recombinant, protein-based HBV immunotherapeutic candidate that builds upon the 3-antigen conformation of VBI’s prophylactic 3-antigen HBV vaccine candidate and is designed to target enhanced B-cell and T-cell immunity.
Combinations of VIR-3434, VIR-2218, pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFNα) and a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) are being investigated in hepatitis B virus (HBV) immune-active, treatment-naïve adults.
VBI-2601 (BRII-179) is a novel recombinant, protein-based HBV immunotherapeutic candidate that builds upon the 3-antigen conformation of VBI’s prophylactic 3-antigen HBV vaccine candidate and is designed to target enhanced B-cell and T-cell immunity.
Preliminary data to-date show that 30.8% of participants receiving 48 weeks of VIR-2218 plus pegylated interferon alpha achieved HBsAg seroclearance with anti-HBs seroconversion by end of treatment.
Results from ongoing trials of VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 presented at demonstrated durable reductions in hepatitis B surface antigen with no safety signals.
The oral presentation will highlight new dose and duration data from a Phase 2 trial evaluating VIR-2218, an investigational HBV-targeting small interfering ribonucleic acid that mediates RNA interference, for potential functional cure of chronic HBV infection.
BRII-835 (VIR-2218) is an investigational subcutaneously administered HBV-targeting siRNA that has the potential to stimulate an effective immune response and have direct antiviral activity against HBV.
The data demonstrate that BRII-835 (VIR-2218), an small interfering ribonucleic acid that mediates RNA interference, results in dose-dependent reduction in hepatitis B surface antigen in Chinese patients with chronic HBV infection who received two doses of BRII-835.
Preliminary results from an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of VIR-2218, alone or in combination with other therapies, and an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of VIR-3434, continue to demonstrate notable reductions in hepatitis B surface antigen and positive safety findings.
VIR-2218 is an investigational small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) designed to inhibit the production of all HBV proteins (X, polymerase, S and core), which may be acting as immune tolerogens.
