(Nasdaq: ALGS), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapeutics to address unmet medical needs in viral and liver diseases, today reported recent business progress and financial results for the second quarter June 30, 2022. “In the second quarter, we continued to make strong progress in advancing our drug candidates and discovery programs,” said Lawrence Blatt, PhD, MBA, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Aligos. “We completed enrollment in multiple cohorts across our Phase 1 CAM-2 and NASH studies and presented posters for these and other drug candidates and discovery programs at the recent International Liver Congress meeting hosted by the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL). We are similarly off to a strong start in Q3, where we have initiated enrollment in a 12-week cohort evaluating the safety and chronic suppressive activity of ALG-000184 in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. We also remain on track to submit a clinical trial application (CTA) this quarter to evaluate our siRNA drug candidate, ALG-125755, in healthy volunteers and CHB patients. We believe our siRNA, which is designed to lower HBsAg levels, is an important addition to our clinical portfolio and has the potential to be a cornerstone of our functional cure strategy.” Recent Business Progress Aligos Portfolio of Drug Candidates HBV Programs ALG-000184 (CAM-2): Enrollment of HBeAg positive subjects in 28-day and 12-week cohorts evaluating various dose levels is ongoing.
