HOPKINTON, Mass., Dec. 19, 2016 - Spring Bank Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBPH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of viral infections, cancer, and inflammatory diseases, and Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (NASDAQ: ABUS) today announced an agreement to perform collaborative preclinical studies in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) involving the co-administration of Spring Bank's SB 9200, an orally-available selective immune-modulator, and Arbutus Biopharma's AB-423, a Capsid assembly inhibitor. SB 9200 and AB-423 are each investigational compounds currently under development by the respective companies for the treatment of chronic HBV.
"The preclinical study of the combination of SB 9200 and AB-423 is the first step in evaluating how a capsid assembly inhibitor can be combined with an oral immune-modulator in the treatment of chronic HBV and potentially lead to novel combination therapeutic strategies for patients With chronic HBV, "stated Nezam Afdhal, MD, chief medical officer of Spring Bank." We look forward to working with the team at Arbutus as we advance this collaboration. "
About SB 9200
SB 9200 is Spring Bank's novel small molecule, orally-available selective immune-modulator compound being developed as both monotherapy and combination therapy as a backbone for the treatment of chronic HBV and other viral diseases. SB 9200 is currently being studied in the ACHIEVE Phase II Global trial. Part A of the ACHIEVE study is a placebo-controlled, sequential cohort, double blind trial to evaluate increased doses of SB 9200 as monotherapy for 12 weeks followed by tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300mg (Viread® Gilead Sciences Inc.) for a further 12 weeks. Part B of the ACHIEVE study will evaluate SB 9200 in combination with tenofovir and as monotherapy versus tenofovir monotherapy after the optimal doses of SB 9200 are determined in Part A.
