Arbutus Biopharma (Nasdaq: ABUS) announced exciting clinical data at the Global Hepatitis Summit 2023 regarding their HBV treatments AB-729 and AB-161. Seven out of nine patients with chronic hepatitis B (cHBV) who were treated with AB-729 maintained low HBV DNA and HBsAg levels for over 1.5 years without needing nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy. The treatment showed no adverse effects during follow-up. Additionally, AB-161 demonstrated strong anti-HBV activity in preclinical models, effectively reducing HBV RNA and HBsAg. Both AB-729 and AB-161 are positioned as pivotal components in developing a potential functional cure for cHBV. Ongoing Phase 2a clinical trials for AB-729 are set to report preliminary data this year.
Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq: ABUS) announced a verbal notification from the U.S. FDA that its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for AB-101, an oral PD-L1 inhibitor aimed at treating chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, has been placed on clinical hold. An official Clinical Hold letter is expected within 30 days, and as a result, Arbutus will not report initial data from the Phase 1 clinical trial in late 2023. AB-101 is designed to enhance the immune response in chronic HBV patients and could potentially lead to a functional cure when combined with other therapies. However, the company acknowledges the hold may impact the timing and future development of AB-101, adding uncertainty to its ongoing clinical programs.
