Mirum Pharmaceuticals' phase 3 trial of brelovitug for chronic hepatitis delta met its primary endpoint, with response rates of 56% and 45% for the 300 mg and 900 mg doses, respectively. The results surpassed the delayed treatment arm and showed improvement over phase 2b data. Analysts note potential commercial differentiation. Mirum aims for FDA approval by mid-2025, following positive Azure-4 trial data expected in Q4 2024.
