Gene-Silencing shot aims to quiet hepatitis b for good

NCT ID NCT07200193

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new therapy called CRMA-1001, which uses epigenetic gene silencing to turn off the hepatitis B virus in the body. About 66 adults with chronic hepatitis B who are already on antiviral pills will receive one or more IV infusions of the therapy. The main goal is to check safety and tolerability, while also looking at how the body processes the drug and whether it can reduce virus levels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

CRMA-1001 (epigenetic gene silencing therapy given by IV infusion)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new way to control chronic hepatitis B by silencing the virus's genes, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for lifelong daily antiviral pills.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 1/2 trial with only 66 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The therapy is new and may cause side effects or fail to control the virus long-term.
