HIV treatment resistance is permanent and irreversible, which can jeopardize future treatment options for PWH.

Key Points: 
  • HIV treatment resistance is permanent and irreversible, which can jeopardize future treatment options for PWH.
  • The M184V/I resistance mutation has been found to be present in a range (22-63%) of PWH with pre-existing resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) across various HIV subtypes.
  • “Clinical data have established Biktarvy as a long-term HIV treatment option for a broad range of PWH.
  • There were also zero cases of treatment-emergent resistance to Biktarvy, regardless of known or suspected pre-existing M184V/I resistance, in the final resistance analysis population.

Sabato, Giugno 24, 2023

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vir Biotechnology, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIR) today announced new data from its robust hepatitis B and D virus (HBV and HDV) portfolio that were presented at the EASL™ (European Association for the Study of the Liver) Congress.

Key Points: 
  • These data further support the clinical development of these investigational medicines for the treatment of HDV.
  • “I am very excited by the progress we are making toward our goal of achieving HBV functional cure.
  • Our data to-date with VIR-2218 and PEG-IFN-⍺ support our hypothesis of using a cocktail of antivirals combined with immunomodulators.
  • The majority of adverse events were consistent with the known effects of PEG-IFN-⍺ and resolved after the end of treatment.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vir Biotechnology, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIR) today announced that the first participant has been dosed in the Phase 2 STRIVE sub-protocol clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of regimens containing combinations of VIR-3434, VIR-2218, pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFNα) and a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) in hepatitis B virus (HBV) immune-active, treatment-naïve adults. The STRIVE sub-protocol trial is the first to initiate under Vir’s new PREVAIL platform trial evaluating VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 with other therapies, including PEG-IFNα and an NRTI, in people at various stages of chronic HBV infection. Initial data from the STRIVE sub-protocol trial are expected in the first half of 2024.

Key Points: 
  • The STRIVE sub-protocol trial is the first to initiate under Vir’s new PREVAIL platform trial evaluating VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 with other therapies, including PEG-IFNα and an NRTI, in people at various stages of chronic HBV infection.
  • Initial data from the STRIVE sub-protocol trial are expected in the first half of 2024.
  • Under the PREVAIL platform trial, the THRIVE sub-protocol trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of regimens containing VIR-3434 and an NRTI with or without VIR-2218.
  • VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 are also being evaluated for the treatment of chronic HBV in adults who are already virally suppressed by an NRTI in the Phase 2 MARCH (Monoclonal Antibody siRNA Combination against Hepatitis B) trial.
