About SB 9200
SB 9200, derived from Spring Bank's proprietary Small Molecule Nucleic Acid Hybrid (SMNH) technology platform, is a novel anti-viral agent that uniquely acts by modulating the host immune response to viral infections through activation of the intracellular sentinel proteins RIG-I and NOD2. SB 9200 is being developed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B and C and other viral infections.
