CMS 017
 
 

CMS 017, targeted for Hepatitis B treatment, is in pre-clinical stage currently.

China is a prevalent area for Hepatitis B. In 2006, there were approximately 120 million HBV carriers and 30 million Hepatitis B sufferers in China. It seems that there are considerable market opportunities for CMS 017.

Regarding CMS 017, the Group is hoping to complete all the pre-clinical studies and submit an IND application to the SFDA and initiate Phase I clinical trials within 2008.
