nChroma Bio press release

BOSTON Jan. 28, 2026 – nChroma Bio announced that the first patient has been dosed in the company’s Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating CRMA-1001, its investigational epigenetic silencer designed to achieve functional cure for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

CRMA-1001 is an optimized next generation epigenetic therapy designed to durably silence viral antigen expression and HBV replication by methylating both covalently closed circular (cccDNA) and integrated HBV DNA (intDNA) without genome cutting. Preclinical data demonstrated robust and durable suppression of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and HBV DNA across models, supporting the translational potential of this approach.
