This technology combines current hepatitis B treatments with a new method targeting the virus's surface antigen, offering a potential cure for liver infection and diseases by preventing antigen expression and virus infectivity. It also implicitly treats hepatitis D by targeting its dependent, hepatitis B. This dual-action approach shows promise for a functional cure in early trials.
