Vir Biotechnology to Present Latest Hepatitis Delta and B Data at EASL Congress 2024
Vir Biotechnology, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIR) has announced that three abstracts highlighting new data from its chronic hepatitis delta and chronic hepatitis B programs have been accepted for presentation at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress 2024, scheduled for June 5-8 in Milan, Italy. Among these, an oral presentation on June 8 will showcase the latest Phase 2 SOLSTICE trial data, originally accepted as a late-breaker poster.
The SOLSTICE trial (NCT05461170) is assessing the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tobevibart and elebsiran for treating individuals with chronic hepatitis delta. The presentation will cover data from participants who have completed 12 and 24 weeks of chronic suppressive treatment, along with 48-week treatment data for six participants previously reported at the 2023 AASLD The Liver Meeting. Additional 24-week treatment data for all approximately 60 SOLSTICE participants is expected in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Dr. Carey Hwang, Vir’s Senior Vice President, Clinical Research and Interim Chief Medical Officer, emphasized the company's commitment to developing a transformative therapy for the estimated 12 million people living with chronic hepatitis delta. The upcoming presentations aim to provide further insights into virologic response rates, ALT normalization, and the durability of viral suppression.
