Company Overview

Assembly Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing oral therapeutics for serious viral infections. The company’s research programs target chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and herpesvirus infections, including herpes simplex virus (HSV), with the goal of addressing diseases for which existing treatments may not provide adequate cures or long-term control.

Assembly’s pipeline includes novel antiviral candidates designed to interfere with essential stages of viral replication. Its herpesvirus programs include investigational helicase-primase inhibitors such as ABI-5366, a long-acting candidate being developed for recurrent genital herpes, as well as additional discovery and development programs. The company has also advanced capsid assembly modulators and other antiviral approaches for HBV.

Assembly has historically focused on developing first-in-class or differentiated antiviral medicines through internal research and strategic collaborations. The company previously advanced vebicorvir, an HBV capsid assembly modulator, and has worked with Gilead Sciences on HBV drug development. Its programs are evaluated through clinical and preclinical studies intended to support potential treatment options for patients worldwide.
