Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ARWR) on Wednesday said it earned a $25 million milestone payment after a unit of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) began a phase 2b combination study in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection.

The Pasadena, Calif., drug developer said J&J's Janssen Pharmaceuticals unit has begun dosing in the study of different combination regimens, including JNJ-3989, formerly ARO-HBV.

Arrowhead in October agreed to work with Janssen to develop and commercialize ARO-HBV as part of a license and collaboration agreement potentially worth more than $3.7 billion to Arrowhead.
