Atea’s most advanced antiviral drug candidate, AT-527, is being evaluated in a multi-national multi-center Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of patients with moderate COVID-19 and risk factors for poor outcomes. As an orally-administered direct-acting antiviral, AT-527 is designed to arrest the progression of COVID-19 by inhibiting replication of the SARS CoV-2 virus.
Atea is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company working to address unmet medical needs with innovative oral antiviral therapies.
Leveraging our platform, we have discovered and are rapidly advancing novel oral direct-acting antiviral drug candidates. Utilizing unique chemical modifications, these product candidates are designed to have the potential for enhanced antiviral activity and selectivity.
For the treatment of COVID-19, we need transformational solutions, and we believe that oral, safe, direct-acting antivirals can play an essential role worldwide. The value and global health impact of a direct-acting antiviral is to rapidly inhibit viral replication in the early phase of infection, which has the effect of reducing disease progression and curtailing the spread of infection.
While vaccines will play an important role in mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic, we will need treatment options to stay ahead of the virus. To treat patients who are waiting to or do not want to be immunized and for patients for whom the vaccine does not create protective immunity, direct-acting antivirals are and will remain an essential complement to vaccines.
AT-527 is designed for easy and early administration to reduce burden and duration of disease. AT-527 has the potential to be used for pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis, to reduce transmission and to impact long-term COVID sequelae.
Complementary medical intervention to vaccination similar to the influenza paradigm (Tamiflu®)
Significant advantages vs antibodies:
Highly-conserved target should enable antiviral activity in the presence of multiple mutations
Antiviral activity against potential future coronaviruses beyond SARS-CoV-2 anticipated
