  • Publication number: 20210008150
    Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods for preventing, treating or curing a coronavirus, picornavirus, and/or hepeviridae virus infection in human subjects or other animal hosts. Specific viruses that can be treated include enteroviruses. In one embodiment, the compounds can be used to treat an infection with a severe acute respiratory syndrome virus, such as human coronavirus 229E, SARS, MERS, SARS-CoV-1 (OC43), and SARS-CoV-2. In another embodiment, the methods are used to treat a patient co-infected with two or more of these viruses, or a combination of one or more of these viruses and norovirus.

  • Publication number: 20200352974
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to solid dosage forms comprising anti-HCV compounds and methods of using such dosage forms to treat or prevent HCV infection. Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have a high cure rate, and favorable tolerability in persons infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, shorter courses of therapy can improve adherence, affordability, and increase DAAs accessibility. The addition of an NS3 protease inhibitor to dual NS5A-NS5B (nucleoside) inhibitors enhances antiviral efficacy, and reduces treatment duration to 3 weeks (wks) in individuals with a rapid virologic response (RVR), defined as plasma HCV RNA<500, or <1,000, IU/mL by Day 2 of treatment.
