Atea Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing novel oral antivirals for serious viral diseases. Its lead program is a fixed-dose combination of bemnifosbuvir and ruzasvir for hepatitis C virus (HCV), positioned as a short-duration, pan‑genotypic, protease inhibitor‑free regimen.
Atea is running two large global Phase 3 trials, C‑BEYOND in the US/Canada and C‑FORWARD outside North America, each targeting about 880 treatment‑naïve HCV patients with and without compensated cirrhosis. C‑BEYOND is fully enrolled, with topline results expected mid‑2026, and C‑FORWARD topline data targeted for year‑end 2026, followed by a planned US NDA submission in March 2027.
The company is also advancing AT‑587, a nucleotide prodrug for chronic hepatitis E virus (HEV), with a first‑in‑human Phase 1 study planned for mid‑2026. Atea licenses ruzasvir from Merck under a global agreement that included a $25.0 million upfront payment, up to $135.0 million in development and regulatory milestones, up to $300.0 million in sales milestones, and tiered royalties from high single‑digit to mid‑teens percentages. Atea previously discontinued development of bemnifosbuvir for COVID‑19 after the Phase 3 SUNRISE‑3 trial did not meet its primary endpoint.
Atea Pharmaceuticals reported 2025 results showing continued investment in its hepatitis portfolio while narrowing its annual loss. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $301.8 million as of December 31, 2025, down from $454.7 million a year earlier, reflecting ongoing R&D spending.
For 2025, Atea recorded a net loss of $158.3 million, modestly improved from $168.4 million in 2024, with a basic and diluted net loss per share of $1.94. Research and development expenses were $148.0 million, slightly higher than 2024, driven by its Phase 3 HCV program, while general and administrative expenses declined to $32.9 million due mainly to lower stock-based compensation.
The company advanced its global Phase 3 HCV program for the fixed-dose combination of bemnifosbuvir and ruzasvir, completing enrollment in the North American C-BEYOND trial with over 880 patients and targeting topline results in 2026.
