Extracto 0118; presentación oral el 25 de abril de 2015 a la 1:00 P.M., hora central europea de verano, Strauss 3.
  • "Optimizing the prenylation inhibitor lonafarnib using ritonavir boosting in patients with chronic delta hepatitis" (Optimizando el lonafarnib inhibidor de prenilación usando refuerzo de ritonavir en pacientes con hepatitis delta crónica) se presentará como una ponencia invitada en la 9ª reunión de la Red Internacional de la Hepatitis Delta (Hepatitis Delta International Network, HDIN) el 22 de abril de 2015 a las 2 P.M., hora central europea de verano, Sala Schubert 6.

Acerca del lonafarnib 
El lonafarnib es un agente oralmente activo, bien caracterizado, de etapa tardía, de la farnesiltransferasa, una enzima implicada en la modificación de proteínas a través de un proceso llamado prenilación. El VHD utiliza este proceso de la célula huésped dentro de las células del hígado para completar un paso clave en su ciclo de vida. El lonafarnib inhibe la fase de prenilación de la replicación del VHD dentro de las células del hígado y bloquea la capacidad del virus de multiplicarse. Como la prenilación es realizada por una enzima huésped, también existe una barrera teórica superior para desarrollar mutaciones de resistencia viral con la terapia de lonafarnib.

El lonafarnib es un producto de investigación y aún no se ha establecido su seguridad y su eficacia para ninguna indicación.

Acerca del VHD 
La hepatitis delta es causada por la infección con el virus de la hepatitis D (VHD) y es considerada la forma más grave de la hepatitis viral en los seres humanos. La hepatitis D se presenta solamente como una coinfección en individuos con hepatitis B (VHB), causa una enfermedad hepática más grave que el VHB solo y se asocia con fibrosis hepática acelerada, cáncer de hígado y fallo hepático. El VHD es una enfermedad con un impacto significativo en la salud mundial, que afecta a unos 15 millones de personas en todo el mundo. La prevalencia del VHD varía entre las distintas partes del mundo. A nivel mundial, la infección del VDH está presente en el 5 o el 6% de los portadores de hepatitis B crónica. El lonafarnib ha recibido la Designación de Medicamento Huérfano por la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA) de los Estados Unidos y por la Agencia Europea de Medicamentos (AEM). En algunas partes del mundo, entre ellas ciertas zonas de China, Rusia, Asia Central, Turquía, África y América del Sur, se ha informado una prevalencia del 40% en pacientes infectados con el VHB.

Acerca de Eiger 
Eiger es una compañía de biotecnología no cotizada en bolsa, centrada en la investigación, el desarrollo y la comercialización de terapias innovadoras en hepatitis viral. La empresa está enfocada en el desarrollo del lonafarnib para el tratamiento del Virus de la Hepatitis Delta (VHD), la forma más grave de la hepatitis viral. El lonafarnib no está aprobado para ninguna indicación. Los programas de investigación de Eiger se centran en el descubrimiento de terapias dirigidas, de molécula pequeña y biomarcadores para tratar y controlar enfermedades hepáticas graves.
