Atea Pharmaceuticals has started a randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled phase‑1 study of the oral nucleotide analogue AT‑587 to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers.

AT‑587 is aimed at chronic HEV infections in immunocompromised patients; in vitro data show greater potency versus sofosbuvir and ribavirin, and the company reports a strong liquidity position. » More on de.investing.com
