PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 12, 2019-- Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARWR) today announced the presentation of clinical data from an ongoing Phase 1/2 study (AROHBV1001) of JNJ-3989 (formerly ARO-HBV), a third-generation subcutaneously administered RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic candidate being developed as a potential treatment for patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, at The International Liver Congress™ 2019 (ILC), the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL).
Arrowhead entered into a license agreement in October 2018 with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, to develop and commercialize ARO-HBV.
Key results from this interim analysis include the following:
JNJ-3989 rapidly reduced hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in patients that had 24 weeks or more of HBsAg assay results (n=40) to thresholds possibly associated with improved chances of HBsAg seroclearance1 in many patients, after only 3 doses
100% of patients (40 of 40) achieved ≥1.0 Log10 IU/mL HBsAg reduction
88% of patients (35 of 40) achieved HBsAg <100 IU/mL
43% of patients (17 of 40) achieved HBsAg <10 IU/mL
13% of patients (5 of 40) achieved HBsAg <1 IU/mL
JNJ-3989 reduced all measurable viral products, including HBsAg in hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) positive or HBeAg negative patients
JNJ-3989 administered subcutaneously was well tolerated at doses up to 400 mg in all chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients in cohorts 2b-11 (n=56)
168 total doses administered to 56 CHB patients (cohorts 2b through 11)
No drug related serious adverse events (SAE) reported
Unrelated SAE of menorrhagia
Unrelated SAE of anxiety/depression
All patients received all 3 scheduled doses; No dropouts
No dose related pattern of adverse changes in laboratory values (e.g. ALT, AST, total bilirubin, creatinine)
17 total AEs at injection site (10% of injections) reported (e.g. erythema, tenderness, bruising), all were mild
Oral Presentation Details:
Short term RNA interference (RNAi) therapy in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) using JNJ-3989 brings majority of patients to HBsAg <100 IU/ml
Presentation Reference: PS-080
Session: Parallel session: Hepatitis B - drug development
Session Date and Time: April 12, 2019 at 5:45 p.m. CET
Authors: Man-Fung Yuen, et al.

AROHBV1001 (NCT03365947) is a Phase 1/2 clinical study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic effects of single-ascending doses (SAD) of ARO-HBV in healthy adult volunteers, as well as the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic effects of multiple-ascending doses (MAD) of ARO-HBV in patients with chronic HBV.
Hepatitis B infection is a life-threatening viral infection of the liver, which can cause cirrhosis — scarring of liver tissue — and liver cancer if the infection becomes chronic. The World Health Organization cites that hepatitis B is a global public health problem with 257 million people living with the disease, resulting in 887,000 deaths in 2015.2 While a preventive vaccine is available, cure rates for those infected remain low and most patients will endure lifelong therapy. |
