The US Food and Drug Administration has granted approval for US pharma major AbbVie’s (NYSE: ABBV) New Drug Application (NDA) for Viekira XR (dasabuvir, ombitasvir, paritaprevir and ritonavir) extended-release tablets.
This news has also been welcomed by Enanta Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ENTA) as paritaprevir is the US biotech’s lead protease inhibitor identified within its ongoing collaboration with AbbVie, and is one of the three direct-acting anti-virals in Viekira XR.
Indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic genotype 1 (GT1) hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, including those with compensated cirrhosis, Viekira XR is a once-daily, extended-release co-formulation of the active ingredients in Viekira Pak (ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir tablets; dasabuvir tablets).
