Assignee: INSERM (INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE) (Paris, FR) UNIVERSITE CLAUDE BERNARD--LYON 1 (Villeurbann, FR) ENS--ECOLE NORMALE SUPERIEURE DE LYON (Lyons, FR) CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (Paris, FR) EDELRIS (Lyons, FR) POXEL (Lyons, FR)
Application Number:15/898,944
Patent Claims:1. A method for treating a chronic hepatitis B virus infection in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the subject is infected with a hepatitis B virus genotype selected from genotype A, B, C, and D.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist is a selective FXR agonist.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist is selected from the group consisting of the compounds identified by the CAS REGISTRY NUMBERS 1192171-69-9, 6ECDCA, GW4064, PXL0914, and PXL0743.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist is selected from the group consisting of the compounds identified by the CAS REGISTRY NUMBERS 1192171-69-9 and 6ECDCA.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the subject has failed to respond to a previous treatment for HBV infection.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the previous treatment is selected from the group consisting of lamivudine (Epivir), adefovir (Hepsera), tenofovir (Viread), telbivudine (Tyzeka), entecavir (Baraclude), interferon alpha-2a, PEGylated interferon alpha-2a (Pegasys) and interferon alpha-2b (ViraferonPeg or Introna).

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the FXR agonist is administered in combination with a treatment selected from the group consisting of lamivudine (Epivir), adefovir (Hepsera), tenofovir (Viread), telbivudine (Tyzeka), entecavir (Baraclude), interferon alpha-2a, PEGylated interferon alpha-2a (Pegasys) and interferon alpha-2b (ViraferonPeg or Introna).

9. A method for reducing synthesis and/or secretion of HBsAg and/or HBeAG or for reducing serum HBV DNA in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the subject is infected with a hepatitis B virus genotype selected from genotype A, B, C, and D.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist is a selective FXR agonist.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist is selected from the group consisting of the compounds identified by the CAS REGISTRY NUMBERS 1192171-69-9, 6ECDCA, GW4064, PXL0914, and PXL0743.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist is selected from the group consisting of the compounds identified by the CAS REGISTRY NUMBERS 1192171-69-9 and 6ECDCA.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the subject has failed to respond to a previous treatment for HBV infection.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the previous treatment is selected from the group consisting of lamivudine (Epivir), adefovir (Hepsera), tenofovir (Viread), telbivudine (Tyzeka), entecavir (Baraclude), interferon alpha-2a, PEGylated interferon alpha-2a (Pegasys) and interferon alpha-2b (ViraferonPeg or Introna).

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the FXR agonist is administered in combination with a treatment selected from the group consisting of lamivudine (Epivir), adefovir (Hepsera), tenofovir (Viread), telbivudine (Tyzeka), entecavir (Baraclude), interferon alpha-2a, PEGylated interferon alpha-2a (Pegasys) and interferon alpha-2b (ViraferonPeg or lntrona).
