Update: Attacking Hep C via ITHACA and SPARTA

Achillion continues to progress its Hep C portfolio though clinical trials with highly encouraging data from its Phase II proxy study with ACH-3102 paving the way for the initiation of more key combination Hep C trials this year. We maintain that Achillion is an attractive candidate for collaboration with a company interested in exploiting the considerable HCV market, but which lacks the in-house components necessary for a competitive HCV oral drug.
