ABSTRACT

Bulevirtide (Hepcludex®), a first-in-class entry inhibitor, is being developed by MYR GmbH for the treatment of chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. Bulevirtide was recently approved in the European Union (EU) for the treatment of chronic HDV infection in HDV RNA positive adult patients with compensated liver disease. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of bulevirtide leading to this first approval for chronic HDV.
