US still awaiting first HDV drug after FDA hits Gilead’s Hepcludex with CRL

The U.S. FDA declined to approve Gilead Sciences Inc.’s Hepcludex (bulevirtide), issuing a complete response letter (CRL) citing manufacturing and delivery concerns for the antiviral aimed at treating confirmed chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection in adults with compensated liver disease. Acquired in Gilead’s 2021 buyout of Myr GmbH, Hepcludex received conditional approval from the European Commission in 2020 and would have been the first drug cleared for HDV in the U.S. Its delay, however, could give a boost to Eiger Biopharmaceuticals Inc., which is expected to report phase III data for lonafarnib by the end of 2022.

ECTRIMS 2022: Network lens could explain paradox in multiple sclerosis

Circuit dysfunction is clearly recognized as a driver of neuropsychiatric disease, and some neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease. And at the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) 2022 Congress, researchers made an argument that the same is true in multiple sclerosis (MS).
