Hepion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:HEPA), which recently changed its name from ContraVir Pharmaceuticals, is developing targeted therapies for liver disease arising from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and chronic hepatitis virus infection (HBV, HCV, HDV). The company is currently testing its lead drug candidate, CRV431, in Phase 1 trials, and recently submitted an IND to the FDA for the treatment of NASH, which complements Hepion’s current IND for the HBV indication. In this interview with BioTuesdays, Dr. Robert Foster discusses NASH, data the company has generated to-date, and its clinical development plans for CRV431.
