2. Other conditions of drugs

YKYY013 injection is a chemically synthesized double-stranded siRNA drug independently developed by Yuekang Science and Technology and Hangzhou Tianlong coupled with N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ligand. It effectively silences the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcribed by the HBV genome through RNA interference, thereby inhibiting the production of hepatitis B pathogenic proteins and inhibiting The replication of HBV creates conditions for host immune reconstruction, and ultimately achieves functional cure of hepatitis B. It is intended to be used clinically for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

Preclinical research results show that YKYY013 injection shows significant HBV virus inhibitory activity in vivo and in vitro, and shows a wide range of inhibitory effects on ten HBV genotypes (A–J). In vivo pharmacodynamic test results in AAV-HBV-transfected mice (types B, C and D) and HBVA-type transgenic mice showed that YKYY013 injection could significantly reduce the levels of HBV DNA, HBsAg, HBeAg and other viral markers in experimental mice after single and multiple administrations, and showed an obvious dose-dependent effect relationship; in the AAV-HBV transfected mouse test, varying degrees of HBV DNA and HBV DNA were observed in each dose group. The phenomenon of HBsAg clearance is accompanied by the production of anti-S antigen antibodies (HBsAb). In repeated dose toxicity tests in SD rats and cynomolgus monkeys, both showed good safety and tolerability.

This product has also recently received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (hereinafter referred to as "FDA") approving the clinical trial of YKYY013 injection for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection (Study May Proceed Letter, IND number: 177486).
