    ▎WuXi AppTec content team editor (the content of this article is from the press release of Tengsheng Boyao) On March 31, Tengsheng Boyao Biotechnology Co.
    , Ltd.
    (hereinafter referred to as "Tengsheng Boyao" or the "company"), at the 2022 Asia Pacific Liver Research Society At the 31st meeting (APASL), a phase 2 randomized, randomized trial of its clinical stage small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) BRII-835 (VIR-2218) in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection was announced.
    The latest data from the double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, which was held online from March 30 to April 3 in Seoul, South Korea
    .

    Data showed a dose-dependent reduction in HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) levels in Chinese patients with chronic HBV infection following two doses of BRII-835 (VIR-2218), and a reduction in HBsAg levels in both HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive patients to a similar degree
    .

    In addition, BRII-835 (VIR-2218) was well tolerated, all treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild or moderate, and no clinically significant increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were observed high
    .

    Professor Jia Jidong, Liver Disease Research Center, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, said: "In this study, after two doses of BRII-835 (VIR-2218), serum HBsAg levels in HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive Chinese patients with chronic HBV infection were dose-dependent.
    Dependence is reduced, which is consistent with previous findings in other races/ethnics
    .

    Supported by these data, we believe that BRII-835 (VIR-2218) class can reduce the high viral antigen load caused by chronic HBV infection It has the potential to become the cornerstone of a functional cure for chronic HBV, thereby helping to solve the major global public health problems caused by chronic HBV infection
    .

    ” said Dr.
    Yan Li, Chief Medical Officer of Tengsheng Biopharmaceuticals: “The development of chronic HBV infection A functional cure is one of the goals of Tengsheng Boyao
    .

    We are conducting multiple studies to evaluate different combination regimens, and we are pleased that the data from this study support the potential of siRNA as the backbone of combination regimens
    .

    We look forward to seeing more data from these studies on the use of BRII-835 (VIR-2218) in combination with other drugs by the end of the year
    .

    "Abstract ID: L-OP-1324 Report Title: Safety and Antiviral Activity of X-Gene-targeting RNAi Therapy BRII-835 (VIR-2218) in Chinese Chronic HBV Infected Patients with Two Dosages (One Month Interval) Lecturer: Prof.
    Jia Jidong, MD, Ph.
    D.
    , Professor of Medicine, Capital Medical University, Director of Liver Disease Research Center, Beijing Friendship Hospital Among 16 Chinese non-cirrhotic chronic HBV infected patients who achieved virological suppression, received twice (interval one month) subcutaneous administration of BRII-835 (VIR-2218) showed good tolerability in patients receiving 50 mg and 100 mg doses of BRII-835 (VIR-2218) 12 weeks after the last dose The mean HBsAg reductions observed in HBeAg-negative patients were 1.
    02 log10 IU/mL and 1.
    22 log10 IU/mL, and HBeAg-positive patients were 0.
    70 log10 IU/mL and 1.
    15 log10 IU/mL, respectively Serum HBsAg levels consistently below baseline through Week 48 in all patients >1 log10 IU/mL About BRII-835 (VIR-2218) BRII-835 (VIR-2218) is a subcutaneously administered target An investigational siRNA drug for HBV, which mediates RNA interference (RNAi), has the potential to have direct antiviral activity against HBV and induce an effective immune response
    .

    It is the first siRNA to enter the clinic using Enhanced Stabilized Chemistry+ (ESC+) technology , enhances stability and minimizes off-target effects, resulting in improved therapeutic efficacy
    .

    Tengsheng Biopharma acquired the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize VIR-2218 in Greater China from Vir Biotech ("Vir") in 2020
    .

    At the same time, three Phase 2 studies sponsored by Tengsheng Biopharmaceutical and Vir are evaluating BRII-835 (VIR-2218) as a combination of functional cures for chronic HBV infection, including: BRII-835 (VIR-2218) combined with Combination of BRII-179 (a therapeutic recombinant protein vaccine), pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN-α), and/or VIR-3434 (a monoclonal antibody against HBV)
    .

    About Hepatitis B Hepatitis B is one of the most serious public health problems in the world, with more than 290 million people infected worldwide, and about 70 million people infected in China
    .

    Hepatitis B virus infection is a major cause of liver disease, and current treatments are difficult to cure, and many patients develop liver cancer
    .

    About 780,000 people die each year from complications of chronic HBV infection, such as liver decompensation and hepatocellular carcinoma
