In addition to HCV, Enanta is actively pursuing treatments for other serious conditions. The company has a preclinical program targeting non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a liver disease characterized by inflammation and damage due to fat buildup. Enanta's research also extends to hepatitis B and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), broadening its impact on viral and liver diseases.
Enanta operates in partnership with AbbVie, which markets its protease inhibitors, while other promising drug candidates are progressing through the development pipeline. The company's commitment to innovation and strategic collaboration positions it as a significant player in the biotech industry.
