Gilead Collaborates with VIR to Evaluate Combination Therapy for Chronic Hepatitis B Virus

Shots:

  • The companies plan to initiate a P-II study assessing selgantolimod + VIR-2218 in treatment-experienced and treatment-naïve people living with HBV. People in the trial with HBV treatment experience may also receive Gilead’s Vemlidy
  • The 1EPs of the study will be the proportion of patients achieving a functional cure, defined as an off-therapy loss of HBsAg and HBV DNA from the serum. The study is the first P-II study that combines immunomodulation and Ag suppression approaches in HBV cure research
  • Both companies retain full rights to their individual product candidates and will discuss the potential path forward for any future combination studies based on the outcome of the P-II study
