Item 8.01. Other Events
On February 23, 2012, the Company
announced additional interim data results from its Phase 2b study with IDX184. At 12 weeks, the Complete Early Virologic Response (cEVR < 25 IU/mL) was 93% for the 100 mg IDX184 arm (n=15) and 81% for the 50 mg IDX184 arm (n=16) of the study
(intent-to-treat analysis). The side effect profile of the combined therapy has remained consistent with the known safety profile for pegylated interferon and ribavirin.
The Company also announced interim data results from its Phase I study with IDX719, an NS5A inhibitor. In January
2012, the Company initiated a phase I clinical study of IDX719. The first part of the study is evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics and food effect of IDX719 in 48 healthy volunteers at single doses ranging from 5 to 100 mg. Dosing up to 50 mg
has been completed in healthy volunteers and to date IDX719 has been well tolerated. A cohort of eight HCV genotype 1-infected patients received single doses of IDX719 of either 1, 5, 10 or 25 mg (2 patients per dose). Mean maximal viral load
reductions were 1.9 log
