Achillion Press Release Nov 12 2013:
"Over the next few months our priority is to advance our proprietary assets through critical milestones, including the completion of the preclinical work necessary to initiate first-in-human trials with ACH-3422, our uridine-analog nucleotide prodrug, for the potential treatment of chronic HCV," commented Milind S. Deshpande, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Achillion. "Furthermore, we intend to engage in regulatory discussions regarding the path forward for sovaprevir, which remains on clinical hold, and in parallel, we plan to initiate early next year a drug-drug interaction study followed by a therapeutic trial to evaluate our differentiated NS5A inhibitor, ACH-3102, in combination with our macrocyclic protease inhibitor, ACH-2684."
