This is a very comprehensive and timely article about HBV drugs in development. ABX203 was not mentioned, even though one clinical trial is still on-going. Most of the others are well-known to us all - very hard to get excited about.
It would be interesting to know more about the "undisclosed mechanism" of the Johnson& Johnson and Roach's drugs. It is hard to tell whether they do not want to disclose because they are just like the others or represent some new approaches.
I feel the only leading HBV drug on pipeline is ARWR( Arc-520).
It is 5.5 log reduction in hbvdna, not HBsAg. Since patients are on Entecavir, these types of reduction in hbvdna are not unusual.
Press release from Abivax:
* Post-treatment monitoring of patients will be continued as per protocol in order to provide additional insight on clinical trial outcomes and secondary endpoints
* Future development of ABX203 under review, including addition of an adjuvant, new administration schedules and therapeutic combinations
i feel like some new drug by 2020, lets c.
