Atea’s hepatitis C drug candidate demonstrated noninferiority to Gilead’s Epclusa in a phase 3 trial, with sustained virologic response (SVR) rates of 93.9% and 94.8%, respectively. In particular, among patients without cirrhosis, 8 weeks of treatment showed efficacy comparable to Epclusa’s 12-week regimen. Atea plans to seek global regulatory approval early next year based on results from its second phase 3 trial.
