-
Key 2025 milestones include registrational trials for hepatitis Delta, functional cure data for hepatitis B, and initial oncology data from T-cell engager programs. The company is prioritizing capital for Delta, with future investments in hepatitis B and oncology guided by data.
-
Combination therapy in hepatitis delta achieved high rates of undetectable HDV RNA and favorable safety, with phase 3 trials set for 2025. In hepatitis B, promising surface antigen loss and antibody development were observed, especially in patients with low baseline antigen. Regulatory designations and upcoming data readouts highlight strong momentum.
-
Closed a major Sanofi licensing deal, expanded the oncology pipeline, and advanced hepatitis programs with promising clinical data. Q3 R&D expenses rose due to the Sanofi transaction, while cash reserves remain strong. Key data readouts and investor events are scheduled for late 2024 and early 2025.
-
-
The conference highlighted a strategic shift toward immune system-based therapies, with a focus on hepatitis B and delta, and the integration of a new T-cell engager platform via a Sanofi deal. Key clinical milestones are expected in the next year, supported by a strong cash position.
-
Announced a transformative license deal for three masked T-cell engagers and the Pro-XTEN platform, alongside a major restructuring to focus on core hepatitis and oncology programs. Lowered 2024 expense guidance and expects significant cost savings, with multiple clinical catalysts ahead.
-
Recent EASL data showed strong, durable virological and ALT responses for hepatitis delta with both combination and monotherapy regimens, with full 24-week data and regulatory discussions expected in Q4. The pipeline includes promising hepatitis B, HIV, RSV, and flu programs, supported by $1.51B in cash.
-
