These allowed patents, protect the use of methods to treat patients with HBV infection or HBV / HDV co-infection that include combining different technologies that can be used to lower surface antigen in the blood of patients with different immunotherapeutic agents. Protected agents to lower serum HBsAg include nucleic acid polymers or any siRNA targeting the cleavage of HBV mRNA at any location within the region encoding HBsAg. Protected immunotherapeutic agents include pegylated interferons and a variety of other immunotherapeutic agents approved for or in development for the treatment of HBV infection.
“With the evolving awareness that combining HBsAg elimination with immunotherapy will be key to achieving high rates of functional cure in patients with chronic HBV infection, these patents provide Replicor with a dominant intellectual property position in the field,” said Dr. Michel Bazinet, CEO.
