Frequently asked questions about ABI-6250

What is ABI-6250 used for?

ABI-6250 is an investigational small molecule being developed for chronic hepatitis D virus infection, also known as hepatitis delta. Assembly Biosciences is also studying it in people with mild hepatic impairment. It has not been approved for any use and remains in clinical development.

What does ABI-6250 target?

ABI-6250 targets NTCP, the sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide. NTCP is the liver cell entry receptor that hepatitis delta virus uses to infect hepatocytes, so blocking it is intended to interfere with viral entry into liver cells.

Who is developing ABI-6250?

ABI-6250 is being developed by Assembly Biosciences, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker ASMB. The company is running the hepatitis delta clinical program as well as separate studies in healthy participants and in people with mild hepatic impairment.

What phase is ABI-6250 in?

ABI-6250 is in Phase 2 development for chronic hepatitis D virus infection. Supporting Phase 1 studies have evaluated safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in healthy participants and in participants with mild hepatic impairment. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is ABI-6250 in?

ABI-6250 has three registered studies. NCT07762027 is a Phase 2 trial in chronic hepatitis D infection across Europe, New Zealand and Pakistan. NCT07850999 is a Phase 1 study in mild hepatic impairment in New Zealand, and NCT06740474 is a completed Phase 1 study in healthy participants.

Is ABI-6250 FDA approved?

No. ABI-6250 is an investigational small molecule and has not been approved by the FDA. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development for chronic hepatitis D virus infection, with Phase 1 studies also conducted in healthy participants and in participants with mild hepatic impairment.
