Anadys Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ANDS) announced viral load data for the final cohort of hepatitis C patients in a Phase I clinical trial of ANA773, the Company's oral inducer of endogenous interferons that acts via the toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) pathway. In patients who received 2000 mg ANA773 every other day over 10 days, the mean (+/-SEM) maximal decline in viral load was 1.3 (+/-0.4) log10, compared to a mean maximal decline of 0.3 (+/-0.1) log10 in patients who received placebo (p=0.037). Five of the eight patients who received 2000 mg ANA773 experienced a maximal decline of greater than 1 log, while none of the eight patients who received placebo experienced a decline of greater than 1 log (p<0.001 for the proportion of patients with maximal response greater than 1 log compared to placebo). The mean end-of-treatment decline was 0.6 log10 in patients who received 2000 mg ANA773 compared to 0.1 log10 in patients who received placebo. ANA773 was well-tolerated in patients throughout the course of the study and there were no serious adverse events reported.
