https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240222740501/en

12/31/23 cash was $1.63B, after burning $108M during 4Q23.

2024 guidance for SG&A + R&D GAAP expenses is $650-680M.

VIR’s CMO left the company, which explains the exercise-and-hold transaction from January in the post I'm replying to:

GSK, VIR terminate flu collaboration inked in 2021:

This outcome is not surprising outcome insofar as the phase-2 trial of VIR-2484, the lead compound of the collaboration, was a failure ( #msg-172395320).

VIR’s CMO exercised and held ~$800K of stock yesterday:

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1706431/000162828024000169/xslF345X05/wk-form4_1704311270.xml

Nice move today

VIR -45% on phase-2 failure in influenza:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vir-biotechnology-announces-topline-data-120000102.html Vir Biotechnology…today announced that the Phase 2 PENINSULA trial evaluating VIR-2482 for the prevention of symptomatic influenza A illness did not meet primary or secondary efficacy endpoints. Why such a steep selloff? One reason is that VIR has tended to present itself to investors as all-powerful and all-knowing, which is perhaps a consequence of having George Scangos as (ex)CEO and having raised a huge amount of capital based on management’s reputation.

VIR starts 4-drug phase-2 HBV trial:

https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/05/11/2666740/0/en/Vir-Biotechnology-Announces-First-Patient-Dosed-in-New-Phase-2-Chronic-Hepatitis-B-Virus-Trial-Evaluating-Combinations-of-VIR-2218-VIR-3434-PEG-IFN%CE%B1-and-an-NRTI.html

The four drugs are: VIR-2218, a siRNA; VIR-3434, a mAb; PEG-IFN; and a (generic) nucleoside.

A separate phase-2 trial (VIR calls it a “subprotocol”) will test VIR-3434 and a nuke, with and without VIR-2218, in patients who are chronic inactive carriers of the HBV virus. I'm unclear as to whether this second trial is for research purposes or for an addressable commercial market.

48w VIR-2219 +peg-IFN—>31% HBs seroconverion:

https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/11/06/2549180/0/en/Vir-Biotechnology-Presents-New-Data-Evaluating-the-Potential-for-VIR-2218-and-VIR-3434-to-Achieve-a-Functional-Cure-for-Chronic-Hepatitis-B-Virus-HBV-Infection.html

The 31% figure is impressive insofar as peg-IFN by itself has a 48w seroconversion rate of only 5-10%. Of course, a 48w regimen of VIR-2219 + peg-IFN won’t be any easier to tolerate than 48w of peg-IFN monotherapy, so this regimen is still far from the ultimate answer for treating chronic HBV.

VIR has started testing the triple combination of VIR-2219 (siRNA) + VIR-3434 (mAb) + peg-IFN; initial data are expected in 2H23.

VIR -14% on amended Sotrovimab EUA due to Omicron BA.2 variant:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-food-drug-administration-revises-200400156.html GlaxoSmithKline plc and Vir Biotechnology…today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration has amended the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Fact Sheet for sotrovimab, an investigational monoclonal antibody. The FDA has determined that, based on the totality of available evidence, including new live virus data generated by Vir, it is unlikely that the sotrovimab 500 mg dose will be effective against the Omicron BA.2 variant.

GSK and Vir are preparing a package of data in support of a higher dose of sotrovimab for the Omicron BA.2 subvariant and will be sharing these data with regulatory and health authorities around the world for discussion. This PR was issued after the close, but the market apparently got wind of the FDA decision about 3:45pm ET.

Excluding restricted cash and its equity investment in Brii Biosciences, the Company had approximately $766.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments.

VIR’s 2022 HBV newsflow:

• Initial data from the first cohorts of Phase 2 MARCH (Monoclonal Antibody siRNA Combination against Hepatitis B) trial of VIR-2218 in combination with VIR-3434, are expected in the first half of 2022.

• Additional data from the Phase 2 trial of VIR-2218 in combination with PEG-IFN-alpha are expected in the first half of 2022.

• Additional data from the Phase 1 monotherapy trial of VIR-3434 are expected in the first half of 2022.

• The Company’s collaborator, Brii Biosciences, continues to lead the Phase 2 trial evaluating VIR-2218 in combination with BRII-179, an investigational T cell vaccine, for the potential treatment of chronic HBV infection. Initial data are expected in the second half of 2022. Evidently, there will not be a 2022 readout from the phase-2 trial testing combinations of VIR-2218, GILD’s GS-9688, Vemlidy (TAF), and Opdivo (#msg-167061759, #msg-160854272, #msg-167063133).

VIR starts HBV_combination_trial_of_ VIR-2218 and VIR-3434:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vir-biotechnology-initiates-phase-2-123000780.html The multi-center, open-label Phase 2 trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the combination of VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 in approximately 90 adult patients (ages 18 to 65) with chronic HBV infection receiving nucleot(s)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy. Both VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 will be administered via subcutaneous injection at varying dose levels over the course of the trial for a treatment period ranging from four to 20 weeks, and a follow-up period of up to 116 weeks, depending on the dosing cohort.

…VIR-2218 is an investigational small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) designed to inhibit the production of all HBV proteins (X, polymerase, S and core), which may be acting as immune tolerogens. VIR-3434 is an investigational HBV-neutralizing monoclonal antibody designed to block entry of all 10 genotypes of HBV into hepatocytes, as well as reduce the level of virions and subviral particles in the blood. It has also been Fc engineered to include the XX2 “vaccinal mutation,” allowing it to potentially function as a therapeutic T cell vaccine against HBV. See #msg-164593550, #msg-161217289, and #msg-164599741 for related info.

"profound efficacy." Vir Biotechnology and GSK plan to seek emergency use authorization for their experimental COVID-19 antibody therapy after interim data from a study showed 85% reduction in hospitalization and deaths among patients.


Based on these positive results, Vir and GlaxoSmithKline intend to request Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for VIR-7831 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other international regulators.

"We are pleased that this unique monoclonal antibody was able to bring such a profound benefit to patients," GlaxoSmithKline chief scientific officer Dr. Hal Barron said. "We look forward to the possibility of making VIR-7831 available to patients as soon as possible."

Too high too fast. Very typical price movement. I you think your gonna ride a rocket to the moon you better be ready when the booster fuel runs out.

why is VIR coming back down???

Huge disappointment.

VIR—(+40% undeservedly, IMO)—on_interim_phase-1_data_for VIR-3434_in_HBV:

https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/01/26/2164220/0/en/Initial-Data-from-Ongoing-Phase-1-Trial-of-VIR-3434-for-Chronic-Hepatitis-B-Virus-Infection-Demonstrates-Significant-and-Rapid-Reduction-in-Hepatitis-B-Surface-Antigen.html

The mean reduction in HBsAg (n=6) was 1.3 logs after 8 days. That’s not bad, but neither is it a knock-your-socks-off result. Monotherapy is unlikely to generate a functional cure in HBV, no matter how potent the agent may be against HBsAg.

VIR-3434 is a monoclonal antibody and is VIR’s second HBV agent in the clinic; the first is VIR-2218, an RNAi agent (#msg-155042587).

Not really. It's just a phase-2 trial, not a full-fledged partnership.

GILD, VIR collaborate on phase-2 HBV trial:

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210112005578/en The companies plan to initiate a Phase 2 trial evaluating combination therapy for both treatment-experienced and treatment-naïve people living with HBV. The multi-arm trial will evaluate different combinations of selgantolimod, Gilead’s investigational TLR-8 agonist; VIR-2218, Vir’s investigational small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA); and a commercially-sourced, marketed PD-1 antagonist. People in the trial with HBV treatment experience may also receive Gilead’s Vemlidy (tenofovir alafenamide fumarate, TAF). The primary outcome of the study will be the proportion of patients achieving a functional cure, defined as an off-therapy loss of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and HBV DNA from the serum.

Both companies retain full rights to their individual product candidates and will discuss the potential path forward for any future combination studies based on the outcome of the Phase 2 trial. I.e., no cash is changing hands between the two companies.

Huge news!
