(Nasdaq: AVIR) (Atea or Company), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of oral antiviral therapeutics for serious viral diseases, today announced completion of patient enrollment in C-FORWARD, its Phase 3 clinical trial outside North America, evaluating the regimen of bemnifosbuvir and ruzasvir (BEM/RZR) for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The anticipated topline results from C-BEYOND, the Phase 3 trial conducted in the US and Canada, remain on track for mid-year 2026.

Atea Pharmaceuticals (AVIR) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Here is how Atea Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AVIR) and Design Therapeutics, Inc. (DSGN) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.

Atea Pharmaceuticals, Inc. receives a buy rating ahead of pivotal phase 3 BEM/RZR hepatitis C data expected mid-2026. AVIR's BEM/RZR targets a differentiated, short-duration, pan-genotypic HCV regimen, aiming for >95% sustained virologic response and low drug-drug interactions. AVIR's $256m cash runway extends through 2027, but commercial viability hinges on phase 3 success versus entrenched competitors Gilead and AbbVie.

BOSTON, May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atea Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVIR) (Atea or Company), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of oral antiviral therapeutics for serious viral diseases, today announced Phase 1 results which further demonstrate that the fixed-dose combination regimen of bemnifosbuvir and ruzasvir (BEM/RZR) for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has a low risk of drug-drug interaction. These results support the use of BEM/RZR with commonly used medications, including the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) omeprazole and the cholesterol-lowering drug rosuvastatin.

Atea Pharmaceuticals (AVIR) has become technically an oversold stock now, which implies exhaustion of the heavy selling pressure on it. This, combined with strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in revising earnings estimates higher, indicates a potential trend reversal for the stock in the near term.
