Sino Biopharmaceutical (HKG:1177) said a mid-stage trial of its TQA3605 tablets for the treatment of hepatitis B met its primary goal, according to a Hong Kong bourse filing Tuesday.
Results showed the medicine, when combined with antiviral drugs known as nucleos(t)ide analogues, helped kept the disease at bay.
Specifically, after 24 weeks of treatment, HBV-infected adults who received the company's medicine achieved HBV DNA levels below the lower limit of quantification when compared to nucleos(t)ide analogues alone.
