Efficacy of NVR 3-778, Alone and in Combination With Pegylated Interferon, vs Entecavir in uPA/SCID Mice With Humanized Livers and HBV Infection

NVR3-778 is a capsid assembly modulator in clinical development. We determined the in vivo anti-viral efficacy and effects on innate and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses of NVR3-778 alone or in combination with pegylated interferon alpha (pe… Continue reading
