Founded in 2012, Atea focuses on addressing unmet medical needs, particularly in serious viral infections caused by single-stranded RNA viruses.
The company's leading product candidate is AT-527 (bemnifosbuvir), an antiviral agent developed for treating COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Recent achievements include positive initial data from a Phase 2 study of bemnifosbuvir and ruzasvir for HCV, showing a 97% sustained virologic response rate at 12 weeks post-treatment. Furthermore, Atea has completed enrollment for the Phase 3 SUNRISE-3 trial for treating high-risk COVID-19 patients, with results expected in the second half of 2024.
Financially, Atea reported a solid cash position of $578.1 million as of December 31, 2023, enabling them to continue advancing their clinical programs.

Atea Pharmaceuticals announced positive initial results from their Phase 2 study combining bemnifosbuvir and ruzasvir for treating hepatitis C virus (HCV). The lead-in cohort of 60 patients showed a 97% sustained virologic response rate at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) following an 8-week regimen. This combination therapy displayed high antiviral potency, short treatment duration, low risk of drug interaction, and a high barrier to resistance.
Additionally, a 100% SVR12 rate was observed in patients with the difficult-to-treat genotype 3. The study reported no severe drug-related adverse events or treatment discontinuations. Atea aims to enroll up to 220 more subjects, including those with compensated cirrhosis. These promising results were shared at the EASL Congress in Milan, Italy, from June 5-8, 2024, highlighting the potential best-in-class profile of the drug combination.
