No problem, SusiQ!  The forum spam filter can`t tell the difference between letters which happen to be consecutive within other words and an obscene word in a sentence, unfortunately!

Thanks Jill,

There is that market/ watch word again.  Forgot about it.  I'm sent info from that site about Hep C to my email fairly often.  I'll be more careful about my language.  LOL

Another Drug Company has posted plans for their new clinical trials for 2014.  Just more and more good news!!!

Achillion 2014 Milestones

-- ACH-3422: HCV Nucleotide NS5B Polymerase Inhibitor

- To date, all of the Company's preclinical studies support the advancement of ACH-3422 into clinical trials. Achillion expects to initiate a Phase 1 first-in-human trial ex-US during the second quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approval, followed by a Phase 1 proof-of-concept trial in mid-2014. Achillion anticipates reporting initial results from HCV-infected patients in the third quarter of 2014.

-- ACH-3102 + sofosbuvir

- Achillion plans to initiate a pilot Phase 2 study early in the second quarter of 2014 evaluating the combination of ACH-3102, a second-generation NS5A inhibitor in Phase 2, with sofosbuvir in treatment-naive HCV patients over treatment durations of 8 weeks or less. The study aims to optimize the use of ACH-3102 in nucleotide-based regimens and to expedite the development of the combination of ACH-3102 and ACH-3422.

-- ACH-3422 + ACH-3102 ± NS3/4A protease inhibitor

- Achillion anticipates the initiation of an all-oral Phase 2 combination study evaluating ACH-3422 by year-end 2014, and anticipates the initiation of a Phase 2 combination study evaluating ACH-3422 and ACH-3102, with and without an Achillion NS3/4A protease inhibitor, in treatment-naive HCV patients over treatment durations of 8 weeks or less in early 2015.

-- ACH-3102 + ACH-2684

- Achillion intends to evaluate the combination of its NS5A inhibitor ACH-3102, and next-generation NS3/4A protease inhibitor, ACH-2684, in a Phase 1 drug-drug interaction study that is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2014.

- The Company also plans to initiate a proof-of-concept study evaluating this combination in genotype 1b HCV-infected patients over a treatment duration of 8 weeks in mid-2014 to enable future combination studies.

Sovaprevir: NS3/4A Protease Inhibitor

- Achillion is preparing a complete response package on the previously disclosed sovaprevir clinical hold and anticipates a response from the FDA by the end of the first half of 2014.

- In the ongoing Phase 2 -007 trial evaluating 12-week treatment with sovaprevir, ACH-3102, and ribavirin in combination, to date all patients with chronic genotype 1b HCV infection have maintained 100% virologic response despite the presence of multiple resistant mutations at baseline in the NS5A protein. As anticipated by the viral breakthroughs previously reported in genotype 1a patients, the combination of sovaprevir and ACH-3102 is not being pursued as a treatment for chronic genotype 1a HCV infection. Achillion intends to submit these study results for presentation at a scientific conference in 2014.

"We are very pleased with the overall progress across our broad HCV portfolio. We believe that the clinical strategy outlined for 2014 will enable us to move toward delivering commercially competitive treatment regimens for HCV," commented Dr. David Apelian, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at Achillion. "Furthermore, with Achillion's broad portfolio of assets, we believe that the addition of an NS5B nucleotide inhibitor, such as ACH-3422, could achieve very competitive cure rates across broad patient populations with a treatment regimen of 8 weeks or less."
