(NASDAQ:VIR) today announced it will present new data from the Phase 2 SOLSTICE clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety profile of tobevibart, an investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb), and elebsiran, an investigational small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) for the potential treatment of chronic hepatitis delta.\nThese data will be presented in an oral presentation at the upcoming American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) The Liver Meeting®, in San Diego, CA, November 15-19, 2024. Vir will also present five poster presentations that further characterize these investigational therapies as well as recent efforts to improve the assessment and evaluation of hepatitis delta infection, and insights into the economic burden of hepatitis delta for patients and society. Vir will also share advances from across the chronic hepatitis B development program.\n\"There is an urgent need for effective therapies for people living with hepatitis delta who can face rapid progression to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. We are excited by the latest data from our hepatitis delta development program, and we look forward to sharing our latest findings at AASLD as we work to help patients living with this debilitating condition,\" said Mark Eisner, M.D., M.P.H., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Vir Biotechnology. \"Further, patients living with chronic hepatitis B face lifelong treatment and an increased risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer, so developing a functional cure could transform their lives. We are pleased to share data further characterizing our investigational therapies as we continue on our mission to advance a functional cure.\"\nVir will be presenting the following abstracts:\n\nEfficacy and safety of tobevibart (VIR-3434) alone or in combination with elebsiran (VIR-2218) in participants with chronic hepatitis delta virus infection: Week 24 primary endpoint analysis from the Phase 2 SOLSTICE trialSession: Hepatitis D: Natural History and TreatmentDate: Monday, November 18Time: 6:15 – 6.30 p.m. PTPresenter: Tarik Asselah, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Hepatology at the Hôpital Beaujon, APHP, Clichy, France, and at the University of Paris, and Head of Viral Hepatitis at INSERM UMR1149, France\n\n\nPharmacokinetics and safety of a single dose of elebsiran (VIR-2218, siRNA) subcutaneously administered in adult participants with moderate renal impairment (Poster #1340)Session: Hepatitis BDate: November 15Time: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. PTPresenter: Li Wang, Associate Director, Clinical Pharmacology, Vir Biotechnology, Inc.\n\n\nDose-Dependent Effects of Neutralizing Anti-HBs Monoclonal Antibody VIR-3434 on Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Composition (Poster #1409)Session: Hepatitis BDate: November 15Time: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. PTPresenter: Florian van Bömmel, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Division of Hepatology, Department of Medicine II, Leipzig University Medical Center.\n\n\nSafety Profile of tobevibart (VIR-3434) and elebsiran (VIR-2218) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B and delta (CHB and CHD) (Poster #1375)Session: Hepatitis BDate: November 15Time: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. PTPresenter: Alina Jucov, M.D., Ph.D., Arensia Exploratory Medicine GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany, and Nicolae Testemitanu, State University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Chişinău, Moldova.\n\n\nReview of evidence to support the use of surrogate endpoints and fibroscan in hepatitis D infection (Poster #1174)Session: Hepatitis – Other InfectionsDate: November 15Time: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. PTPresenter: Prajakta Bhounsule, Director, Health Economy and Marketing, Vir Biotechnology, Inc.\n\n\nAssessing economic burden among unique patient segments in an HDV-infected population (Poster #3294)Session: Health Services and Public Health ResearchDate: November 17Time: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. PTPresenter: Prajakta Bhounsule, Director, Health Economy and Marketing, Vir Biotechnology, Inc.\n\nAbout Tobevibart (VIR-3434)\nTobevibart is an investigational broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody targeting the hepatitis B surface antigen. It is designed to inhibit the entry of hepatitis B and hepatitis delta viruses into hepatocytes, and to reduce the level of circulating viral and subviral particles in the blood. Tobevibart was identified using Vir’s proprietary antibody discovery platform and has been engineered to have an extended half-life and optimized binding to immune cells. Tobevibart is administered subcutaneously, and it is currently in clinical development for treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B and patients with chronic hepatitis delta.\nAbout Elebsiran (VIR-2218)\nElebsiran is an investigational hepatitis B virus-targeting small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) designed to degrade hepatitis B virus RNA transcripts and limit the production of hepatitis B surface antigen. Current data indicates that it has the potential to have direct antiviral activity against hepatitis B virus and hepatitis delta virus. Elebsiran is administered subcutaneously, and it is currently in clinical development for treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B and patients with chronic hepatitis delta. It is the first asset in Vir’s collaboration with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to enter clinical studies.\nAbout Chronic Hepatitis Delta\nChronic hepatitis delta (CHD) is a long-lasting, inflammatory liver disease caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV), which requires the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) for its replication1. CHD affects nearly 5% of people who have a chronic infection with HBV, and it is considered by the World Health Organization to be the most severe form of chronic viral hepatitis2. Co-infection with HDV accelerates progression towards liver cancer and liver-related death by almost a decade in comparison to HBV mono-infected persons, independently of their age3. There is no cure, and treatment options are limited.\nReferences:\n1 NIH National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Hepatitis D - NIDDK (nih.gov), accessed September 2024.2 WHO Hepatitis Delta Factsheet - Hepatitis D (who.int), accessed September 20243 CDC https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hdv/hdvfaq.htm\nAbout Chronic Hepatitis B\nChronic hepatitis B (CHB) a is a long-lasting, inflammatory liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV)1. The World Health Organization estimates that 254 million people were living with CHB infection in 2022, with 1.2 million new infections each year, and an estimated 1.1 million yearly deaths associated to the disease2. Complications from CHB may include liver cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer3. Although CHB can be treated, there’s no cure available today1.\nReferences:\n1 CDC Hepatitis B Basics | Hepatitis B | CDC 2 WHO Hepatitis B Factsheet - Hepatitis B (who.int), accessed September 20243 NIH National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Hepatitis B - NIDDK (nih.gov), accessed September 2024.\nAbout Vir Biotechnology, Inc.\nVir Biotechnology, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on powering the immune system to transform lives by discovering and developing medicines for serious infectious diseases and cancer.
