Russo
raised his target to $15 from $9 based on "positive, de-risking"
data from a Phase IIa trial of ACH-1625 to treat chronic HCV genotype 1 (see
B18). The 12-week, interim data showed once-daily 200, 400 and 800 mg
ACH-1625 plus standard of care led to a rapid viral response (RVR) in 67%,
80% and 100% of treatment-naïve patients, respectively, and 100% of patients
treated at the doses through 12 weeks achieved complete early virologic
response (cEVR). "Most importantly," Russon noted, the data showed
safety was "uneventful" at the end of the 12-week treatment.
ACH-1625 is a selective inhibitor of HCV NS3 protease.
