Overview

This is a **combination therapy** comprising **REP 2165-Mg** (a nucleic acid polymer or NAP, magnesium chelate formulation), **peginterferon alfa-2a** (a pegylated recombinant interferon, immune modulator), and **tenofovir disoproxil fumarate** (a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor). The combination has been investigated in **clinical trials for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B** (HBV), particularly in HBeAg-negative patients. REP 2165-Mg acts as a hepatitis B virus replication inhibitor by blocking secretion of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) from infected hepatocytes, aiming to enhance immune restoration. Peginterferon alfa-2a binds to type I interferon receptors, activating the JAK/STAT pathway and inducing the innate antiviral response. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate inhibits HBV DNA polymerase, blocking reverse transcription and viral replication. The **combination is designed to reduce HBsAg levels, suppress HBV DNA, and promote seroconversion, potentially leading to a functional cure.** REP 2165-Mg was developed by Replicor; the formulation uses branded products Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a, Roche) and Viread (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, Gilead).
