While traditional monotherapies have been successful in controlling HBV, the industry is now pivoting toward combination therapies that target multiple stages of the viral lifecycle. Researchers are exploring the synergy between traditional antivirals and novel agents such as capsid assembly modulators and RNA interference (RNAi) therapies. This "multi-pronged" strategy aims to deplete the reservoir of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in the liver, which is the primary obstacle to achieving a complete cure for the infection.

Insights into the Hepatitis B Treatment Market indicate a surge in research and development dedicated to immunomodulatory agents. These treatments are designed to "re-awaken" the patient’s own immune system to recognize and clear the virus. As these innovative candidates move through clinical trials, they represent a significant shift in the commercial landscape, moving from lifetime suppressive therapy toward finite treatment durations. This transition is expected to revolutionize the standard of care, offering hope for millions of patients seeking a permanent resolution to their chronic infection.
