Presentation: Active Site Polymerase Inhibitor Nucleotides (ASPINs)

• Date and Time: Monday, December 6, 2021 at 11:05 AM MST
• Author: Robert Gish, M.D.

Presentation: ATI-2173: A Novel Active Site Polymerase Inhibitor Nucleotide (ASPIN)

• Date and Time: Monday, December 6, 2021 at 6:30 PM MST
• Author: Douglas L. Mayers, M.D.

ATI-2173, Antios' lead Phase 2 clinical candidate, is the only Active Site Polymerase Inhibitor Nucleotide (ASPIN) in clinical development, and has potential, if approved, to be the cornerstone of curative, once-daily HBV therapy. Pre-clinical data to date for ATI-2173, alone or combined with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), indicate the potential for sustained HBV DNA suppression off treatment, unique among approved nucleosides and investigational anti-HBV therapies.

About ATI-2173
ATI-2173, Antios Therapeutics' lead once-daily, oral drug candidate for treating HBV, is an investigational phosphoramidate prodrug of clevudine monophosphate. ATI-2173 has the potential, if approved, to become the cornerstone of a curative HBV regimen. It is the only Active Site Polymerase Inhibitor Nucleotide (ASPIN) in clinical development and its mechanism of action is designed to be complementary to other approaches that also seek to achieve a functional cure. ATI-2173 is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. The SAVE-1 (Sustained Anti-Viral Efficacy) trial is an ongoing, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 30 patients designed to assess the safety and efficacy of 25 and 50 mg doses of ATI-2173 daily for 90 days in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) compared with TDF plus ATI-placebo (control) in chronic HBV-infected subjects.
