| Description | Human interferon omega 1 (IFN-omega 1 = IFN-alpha II1) is a recently discovered protein structurally related to IFN-alpha and -beta. It occurs naturally in the human body and is currently being manufactured by Intarcia through genetic engineering. There are multiple routes for administration of omega interferon: injection, an implantable subcutaneous drug delivery system, and an oral formulation. It has been investigated both in single and combination treatment. The biological activities of IFN-omega 1 and its physiological role are not known to date. |
| Indication/Disease | Investigated for use/treatment in hepatitis (viral, C). |
| Pharmacodynamics | Human interferon omega 1 (IFN-omega 1 = IFN-alpha II1) is a recently discovered protein structurally related to IFN-alpha and -beta. It occurs naturally in the human body and is currently being manufactured by Intarcia through genetic engineering. The biological activities of IFN-omega 1 and its physiological role are not known to date. |
| Mechanism of Action | Independent studies demonstrate that interferon omega binds to the alpha/beta receptor, but not the interferon gamma receptor. |
| Toxicity | Clinical trial results suggested a favorable overall safety profile for interferon omega. |
