Overview

REP 2139-Mg is a magnesium chelate formulation of the nucleic acid polymer (NAP) drug candidate known as REP 2139. It is an antiviral oligonucleotide designed to inhibit the release of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), thereby restoring immune control over hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV) infections. The drug acts as a direct-acting agent against HDV replication and subviral particle assembly. Clinical studies have shown that it can lead to rapid normalization of liver enzymes, clearance or significant reduction in HBsAg and HDV RNA levels, seroconversion to anti-HBs status, and reversal of liver decompensation even in patients with advanced cirrhosis or those who failed previous therapies such as bulevirtide or pegylated interferon. Subcutaneous administration has demonstrated improved efficacy compared to intravenous infusion. The drug is being developed by Replicor for use in chronic HBV infection—including HBV/HDV co-infection—and has been tested both as monotherapy and in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and pegylated interferon alfa-2a[2][3][4][5][8].
