The global HCV Phase III program it is conducting consists of two randomized, open-label studies: C-BEYOND which has clinical trial sites in the United States and Canada, and C-FORWARD which has clinical trial sites in countries outside of North America. AT-587 has demonstrated potent nanomolar antiviral activity against HEV in vitro.
