$AVIR BOSTON, Nov. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atea Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(AVIR) (Atea or Company) today announced the presentation of new modeling data predicting that the Company’s combination regimen of bemnifosbuvir (BEM), a nucleotide analog polymerase inhibitor, and ruzasvir (RZR), an NS5A inhibitor, achieved near-complete inhibition of both viral replication and assembly and secretion into the bloodstream, with a modeled time to cure of approximately 7 to 8 weeks. These findings support the fixed-dose combination (FDC) regimen of BEM and RZR as a potential best-in-class, convenient, short-duration treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV), further validating the Company’s Phase 2 study results, which demonstrated that the combination regimen, after 8 weeks of treatment, achieved sustained virologic response rates at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) of 98% in the per-protocol treatment-adherent patient population and 95% in patients regardless of adherence.
