The present invention relates to enhanced antisense oligonucleotides that are complementary to the Far Upstream Element-Binding Protein 1 (FUBP1) and are capable of reducing a FUBP1 target nucleic acid, such as FUBP1 mRNA. The invention relates to enhanced antisense oligonucleotides targeting FUBP1 or conjugates thereof for use in treating and/or preventing a hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, in particular a chronic HBV infection. The invention in particular relates to the use of the enhanced antisense oligonucleotides targeting FUBP1 or conjugates thereof for destabilizing cccDNA, such as HBV cccDNA. The invention further relates to enhanced antisense oligonucleotides targeting FUBP1 or conjugates thereof for use in treating cancer. A pharmaceutical composition and its use in the treatment and/or prevention of an HBV infection, or its use in the treatment of cancer is also disclosed.
