(Nasdaq: VIR) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that leverages immunology platforms to discover, develop and commercialize treatments for serious infectious diseases and oncology indications; its core technologies include a next-generation antibody platform and the PRO-XTEN protease-releasable masking technology exclusively licensed from Sanofi for oncology and infectious diseases. The company offers a deep pipeline of candidates such as tobevibart (an antibody incorporating Xencor's Xtend and other Fc technologies) combined with elebsiran for chronic hepatitis delta virus treatment in Phase 3 trials; VIR-5818, a dual-masked HER2-targeted T-cell engager in Phase 1 dose escalation with pembrolizumab for solid tumors; VIR-5500, a PSMA-targeted T-cell engager in Phase 1 with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for prostate cancer; VIR-5525, an EGFR-targeted T-cell engager in Phase 1 monotherapy or with pembrolizumab; and preclinical efforts including undisclosed PRO-XTEN T-cell engagers, HIV cure antibodies with the Gates Foundation, and influenza A programs. Founded in 2016 and headquartered at 499 Illinois Street, Suite 500, in San Francisco, California, Vir Biotechnology operates primarily in the United States and Europe, targeting unmet needs in virology (hepatitis B/D, HIV, influenza, tuberculosis) and immuno-oncology with monoclonal antibodies, T-cell engagers, siRNA therapies and innate immunity modulators; it generates revenue from collaborations, grants and licenses. Recent developments include accelerated enrollment completion in the ECLIPSE 1 Phase 3 trial for hepatitis delta two months ahead of schedule, ongoing momentum in ECLIPSE 2 and 3 trials positioning for regulatory submissions, a planned comprehensive data update for influenza A candidate VIR-5500 in Q1 2026, expansion into first-line prostate cancer via a VIR-5500/ARPI combination study, a $250 million funding round at a $4.2 billion valuation bringing total raised to $821 million, and sustained strategic partnerships with GlaxoSmithKline, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Brii Biosciences, MedImmune and Sanofi to support pipeline advancement.
