Barinthus Biotherapeutics announced plans to prioritize its pipeline, focusing on VTP-300 for Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) and VTP-1000 for celiac disease, following positive interim data from ongoing Phase 2 trials. The company will restructure, reducing its workforce by 25%, and expects to extend its cash runway to Q2 2026. VTP-300 data showed significant reductions in Hepatitis B surface antigen levels, while pre-clinical data for VTP-1000 in celiac disease were promising. The Phase 1 trial for VTP-1000 is set to begin in Q3 2024, and the ongoing Phase 1 trial of VTP-850 in prostate cancer will be completed.
Barinthus Bio announced promising results from two clinical trials of its VTP-300 treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). In the HBV003 trial, 67% of participants had HBsAg levels below 10 IU/mL, and 19% had undetectable HBsAg levels, with 76% becoming eligible to discontinue nucleos(t)ide analogue (NUC) therapy. Interim data from the IM-PROVE II trial, conducted with Arbutus Biopharma, showed a statistically significant difference in HBsAg levels between the VTP-300 and placebo groups 24 weeks post-treatment. VTP-300 treatment led 84% of participants to discontinue standard NUC therapy versus 53% in the placebo group. Both trials reported no serious adverse events, with the most common side effect being thyroid dysfunction. These findings suggest VTP-300's potential to be a critical component in functional cure regimens for CHB.
Barinthus Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ: BRNS) will present clinical data for its hepatitis B immunotherapy candidate, VTP-300, at the EASL Congress 2024 in Milan, Italy, from June 5-8. The presentations will include a poster on June 5 and an oral presentation on June 6. The poster will discuss how VTP-300 combined with nivolumab continues to show reductions in HBsAg levels without serious adverse events. The oral presentation will highlight that VTP-300, when administered after imdusiran, maintains lower HBV surface antigen levels and allows more subjects to discontinue NUC therapy. CEO Bill Enright expressed optimism about the potential for a functional cure for hepatitis B.
