Enanta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has submitted its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

The filing details the company's focus on developing small molecule drugs with an emphasis on virology and immunology. Enanta's virology programs include treatments for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), SARS-CoV-2, and hepatitis B virus (HBV).

Enanta's collaboration with AbbVie (ABBV-1.11%) continues to generate royalty revenue from the MAVYRET/MAVIRET regimen for hepatitis C virus (HCV), which includes Enanta's protease inhibitor, glecaprevir. The company reported $67.6 million in royalty revenue for the year.
