About bulevirtide (Myrcludex)
Bulevirtide (Myrcludex) is a first-in-class entry inhibitor for treatment of chronic hepatitis B and D infections. The drug inhibits the NTCP receptor on the hepatocyte surface and prevents the infection of healthy cells and viral spreading within the liver. Bulevirtide has received Orphan Drug Designation for treatment of HDV infection from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, the EMA has granted PRIority MEdicines (PRIME) scheme eligibility - by this designation EMA offers early and proactive support for the development of medicines that target an unmet medical need. In parallel the FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation - a process designed to expedite the development and review of drugs which may demonstrate substantial improvements on a clinically significant endpoint. The British Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has recently issued the Promising Innovative Medicine (PIM) designation for MYR's lead compound bulevirtide (Myrcludex).
