Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Research Report

On July 1, 2013, Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Achillion) announced that the Company  has received a notice from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that placed sovaprevir on clinical hold after elevations in liver enzymes associated with significantly higher than anticipated exposures to atazanivir and sovaprevir were noted in a Phase 1 healthy subject drug-drug interaction (DDI) study, which evaluated the effects of concomitant administration of sovaprevir with ritonavir-boosted atazanavir. In order to resolve the clinical hold, the FDA has asked Achillion to submit study reports from two DDI studies and an integrated safety analysis of ongoing sovaprevir trials, which the latter expects to provide in approximately six weeks. Further, Achillion announced that the FDA has allowed the Company to continue with the enrollment and treatment of patients in the Phase 2-007 clinical trial, which evaluates 12-weeks of sovaprevir in combination with ACH-3102 and ribavirin for patients with treatment-naive genotype 1 hepatitis C viral infection (HCV).
