ALISPORIVIR

discontinued Recombinant protein

Alisporivir is an experimental hepatitis C drug tested in small Phase 2 trials for patients with chronic HCV infection.

Alisporivir is an investigational antiviral targeting hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. It was studied in Phase 2 trials for chronic HCV genotype infections, often in combination with ribavirin or pegylated interferon. A key differentiator is its evaluation in patients who cannot tolerate interferon-based regimens.

Mechanism of action

Alisporivir is being studied as a treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus infection. It works by targeting the virus's ability to replicate inside liver cells. The drug has been tested in people with different hepatitis C genotypes, often alongside other antiviral medications like ribavirin or pegylated interferon. Researchers are particularly interested in using it for patients who cannot take interferon-based treatments due to side effects or other health reasons.
