June 23, 2026 updated by: Vir Biotechnology, Inc.

A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 in Participants With Chronic Hepatitis D Virus Infection (SOLSTICE)

This is a phase 2 trial in which participants with chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection will receive VIR-2218 and/or VIR-3434 and be assessed for safety, tolerability, and efficacy

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Detailed Description

Participants may be enrolled into Cohort 1 (1a and 1b) or Cohort 2 (2a, 2b1 or 2b2, 2c), 3, 4, and 5. All participants still receiving VIR-2218 or VIR-3434 monotherapy at the time of implementation of Protocol Amendment 4 will switch to combination therapy at Week 132 (Cohort 2a, 2b1/2b2) or Week 112 (Cohort 3).
