AbstractBackground and aims: RNAi with JNJ-3989 (previously ARO-HBV) has shown promising reductions in circulating CHB viral parameters based on its design to silence mRNA from cccDNA and integrated sources (AASLD 2018). The ongoing phase 2 portion of AROHBV1001 assesses 3 doses of JNJ-3989 administered weekly to monthly in HBeAg pos (e pos) or neg (e neg) CHB patients. Herein we report reductions in HBsAg levels below important literature proposed thresholds and exploration of loading dose effect. Method: CHB patients (n = 56) received 3 subcutaneous doses of JNJ-3989. CHB cohorts 2b-5b (n = 4, e pos or neg, NUC treated or not) received monthly doses of 100, 200, 300 or 400 mg. Cohorts of e pos, NUC naïve and experienced CHB (cohorts 8, 9 respectively, n = 4 each) received 300 mg monthly. Loading dose cohorts (all n = 4, e pos or e neg, NUC treated or not) received bi-weekly or weekly doses of 100 mg (cohorts 6 and 7) or weekly doses of 200 mg (cohort 10) or 300 mg (cohort 11). Baseline NUC untreated CHB in any cohort receive NUCs from day1, continuing after JNJ-3989 dosing ends. HBsAg results reported are through day 113, 56 days after 3rd monthly dose when available or most recent in patients with data at least 14 days data following 3rd dose. In total, current HBsAg data is reported for 40 patients and safety for 56. Further data will be available at time of presentation. Results: No serious AEs or dropouts have been reported. Injection site AEs (all mild) occurred in ~12% of 171 injections. Mean max log10 declines in HBsAg were: 100 mg 1.9, 200 mg 1.7, 300 mg 1.7 and 400 mg 2.0 logs in cohorts 2b-5b and 2.3 in cohort 8, 2.5 in cohort 9. Giving JNJ-3989 more frequently (cohorts 6, 7, 10, 11) did not increase rate or extent of HBsAg knockdown; duration persisted at least 6 weeks after last dose. 97% (34 of 35) of patients reaching day 85 after first dose have > 1.0 log HBsAg reduction. Of 40 patients with ≥ 14 days follow-up after 3rd dose 3 had HBsAg < 100 IU/ml at baseline while currently 32 have achieved HBsAg < 100, 14 ≤ 10, 5 ≤ 1. Other viral parameters (HBV DNA, RNA, HBcrAg, HBeAg) above LLOQ at baseline improved. Conclusion: Monthly RNAi reduced all measurable viral products, including HBsAg in e pos and e neg CHB. JNJ-3989 rapidly reduces HBsAg to thresholds associated with improved chances of HBsAg sero-clearance with characteristics desirable for a cornerstone therapy in finite regimens aimed at HBsAg clearance in CHB. JNJ-3989 has been safe and well tolerated.
