Vir Biotechnology ( (VIR) ) has shared an update.

On May 9, 2025, Vir Biotechnology announced 24-week post-treatment data from its MARCH Phase 2 study on tobevibart and elebsiran for chronic hepatitis B, presented at the EASL Congress in Amsterdam. The study showed HBsAg loss in 17% and 21% of participants with low baseline HBsAg levels, using the combination with or without pegylated interferon alpha. Despite the promising results, Vir has not secured a development partner for further Phase 3 trials and will streamline the final stages of the Phase 2 study, aligning with its focus on the ECLIPSE Phase 3 program for hepatitis delta and oncology initiatives. The company maintains its cash runway guidance into mid-2027.
