BACKGROUND
BMS-650032 is a potent and selective HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor with broad genotype coverage
- EC50: Genotype 1a (4 nM); Genotype 1b (1 nM)
In vitro: synergistic with IFN-α and other HCV inhibitors
In a single ascending dose study in healthy non-HCV infected subjects, BMS-650032:
- Was safe and well-tolerated
-- Had a pharmacokinetic (PK) profile suggesting the possibility of twice-daily dosing
SAFETY
BMS-650032 was not associated with AE-related treatment discontinuations or serious adverse events in either the SAD or MAD studies
No clinically relevant impact on vital signs, physical examinations, ECG's or clinical laboratory tests
Single and multiple doses of BMS-650032 were generally safe, well-tolerated and had a safety profile similar to that of placebo
a1 patient had a seizure and interrupted placebo treatment (pre-existing condition epilepsy)
b1 patient with atypical chest pain who was later diagnosed with ALS and died 2 months later
c1 patient with acute renal failure and metabolic acidosis following amphetamine toxicity
