1. Business Overview

 

ContraVir Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“ContraVir” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused primarily on the clinical development and commercialization of targeted antiviral therapies with a specific focus on developing a potentially curative therapy for hepatitis B virus (HBV). The Company is developing two novel anti-HBV compounds with complementary mechanisms of action. The Company’s lead compound, TXL™, is currently in Phase 2b development and is designed to deliver high intrahepatic concentrations of TFV, while minimizing off-target effects caused by high levels of circulating TFV. CRV431, the Company’s second compound for treatment of HBV, is a next-generation cyclophilin inhibitor with a novel chemical structure that increases its potency and selective index against HBV.
