- Precision BioSciences disclosed new, late-breaking ELIMINATE-B trial data on PBGENE-HBV at the EASL Congress 2026; results were presented there.
- Liver biopsy findings supported the therapy’s intended ability to disable the viral reservoir driving chronic hepatitis B, a result the company framed as a field first.
- Blood biomarker readouts aligned with the biopsy signal, reinforcing evidence of sustained antiviral activity across treated patients.
- Safety profile remained manageable with no dose-limiting toxicities; infusion-related reactions were most common, with mitigation steps introduced for hypotension and liver-enzyme spikes.
- Next steps include enrolling more patients, collecting additional biopsy data, preparing for nucleoside-analog withdrawal, and selecting a dosing schedule for a later-stage expansion; updates targeted by end-2026.
