@RNAiAnalyst: #ILC2015 lots of people lining up to question REPLICor data. Unsurprisingly. It may be the world's best-kept secret. $100B value right there

#ILC2015 REPLICor reports dramatic reductions in HDV RNA and HBsAg. Looks like they cured HBV + HDV.

From the news article " Treatment was once daily via 2 hour IV infusion. Researchers measured viremia, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HBs every 2 weeks using standard assays."
Very incorrect information. The treatment is once weekly, not daily.
Interesting to see that hausecker, who reacted silly and naive a few month ago, when I alerted him to the impact of replicors data on his iRNA predictions is now changing course.
The real big news is the dramatic reduction in HDV viremia in all patients who reduced hbsag. This points to a fundamentally different mechanism of Hdv virion reduction compared with HBV, more profound and more direct acting, with huge consequences for a disease that is rapidly progressing and currently almost untreatable. It will clearly be of great help to replicor to move forward.

Do you think replicor will ever see the light?

studyforhope: so cure for HDV is "just" lower/remove HBsAg ?

Hope they will get now investors and Fasttrack approval from the FDA.

btw, do you think Rep 2139-Ca may be used for HBe+ mainly or HBe status doesn't matter so much ?

No the key mechanism new here is the reduction in HDV virions, that operates in the same fashion as the blockage of HBsAg release. Thus it is not the reduction of HBsAg that drives indirectly the viral load reduction as in hbv, but the delta virions themselves are retained and thus HDV virions drop in parallel with hbsag, but NOT because of it.
Thus the HDV vl reduction is much more profound than the hbv virion reduction in serum. HDV reinfection will be dramatically reduced and then consequently the immune attack against the delta antigen, which causes the severity of this disease.

Unfortunately it will be much harder to establish permanent immune control in e antigen negative patients.

Using the same drug for HBV monoinfection should give similar results or better ?

The dramatic effect on HDV gives replicor a much better chance for further development and ultimately approval. BUT the longer term outcome of this even on hdv has to be awaited, viruses bounce back if even a tiny trace is left in the liver. Since almost a year of interferon add on is planned, there is a chance, however, of good SVR rates. It remains to be seen, if due to the high instability of the HDV RNA genome, a selective eradication or control of HDV is possible. And how high the hbv svr rate will be. We will have to wait for a long time to know the answers to these critical questions.

So has it been confirmed that rep2139-ca block the release of HBsAg and HDV virions, but not HBV virions?
Thanks.

This is the same drug that was used in the second Bangladesh trial on hbv mono e ag positiv patients. The differences are a much longer planned immunotherapy add on, in the hope also to improve hbv svr rates.

For good and valid reasons, like the size and protein composition of HDV virions vs hbv virions, hdv is presumed to be treated like a surface antigen particle in the formation and release pathway. HBV virion morphogenesis and secretion is different and not directly controlled by the replicor compounds. Additionally, The almost perfect parallelism in hbsag and hdv serum reduction, much much more profound than hbv vl reductions, lends strong support to this theory.

Many thanks. This should be good news.
