Vir Biotechnology (NASDAQ:VIR) announced positive results from the SOLSTICE Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating tobevibart and elebsiran combination for chronic hepatitis delta (CHD). The treatment achieved 100% virologic response with HDV RNA suppression, showing undetectable virus levels in 41% of participants at Week 24, increasing to 64% by Week 36, and reaching 80% by Week 60. The combination therapy demonstrated a strong safety profile with no severe treatment-related adverse events. Based on these results, Vir plans to initiate the Phase 3 ECLIPSE registrational program in early 2025, comprising three clinical trials to evaluate the combination therapy against existing treatments.

Vir Biotechnology (VIR) has received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products for orphan drug designation of tobevibart and elebsiran in treating chronic hepatitis delta (CHD). The opinion follows encouraging preliminary data from the Phase 2 SOLSTICE trial, with 24-week data to be presented at AASLD The Liver Meeting. This development comes after receiving FDA fast track designation in June 2024. CHD is considered the most aggressive form of chronic viral hepatitis, with patients often progressing to cirrhosis within 5 years. The orphan designation could provide 10 years of market exclusivity in the EU upon approval.

Vir Biotechnology announced positive end-of-treatment results from Part B of the MARCH Phase 2 clinical study evaluating combinations of tobevibart and elebsiran for chronic hepatitis B treatment. The study showed promising HBsAg loss rates, with 39% of participants achieving HBsAg loss with the doublet regimen and 46% with the triplet regimen (including pegylated interferon alfa) in patients with low baseline HBsAg. No new safety concerns were identified, with treatment-emergent adverse events being generally mild to moderate. Key functional cure data from 24-week follow-up is expected in Q2 2025.

Vir Biotechnology reported Q3 2024 financial results, highlighting a transformational quarter marked by the closing of an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Sanofi for three clinical-stage dual-masked T-cell engagers. The company reported a net loss of $(213.7) million, or $(1.56) per share. Total revenues were $2.4 million, with cash and investments of $1.19 billion. Key developments include promising Phase 2 SOLSTICE data in chronic hepatitis delta, appointment of Jason O'Byrne as CFO, and a strategic restructuring reducing workforce by 25%. The company updated its GAAP operating expense guidance to $660-680 million for 2024.
