R7128, a new polymerase inhibitor, is showing promise as preliminary results of a 4-week Phase 1 trial are announced. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/080107/clm042.html?.v=101

Wall Street has taken note. Stock up 38 per cent on the news. Yesterday, it rose 44 per cent.

Wow! Early studies look fantastic!

Have been watching Pharmasset Inc. (VRUS) for the past month and after the down grade thought it may go lower and sat on hands, well blew it this time. I was quite surprised when looking at list to see it pop up $6 in one day but I’m sure it will float down after the hype has worn down.

There is another little unknown company Tacere Therapeutics that is going after the RNAi inhibitors market and seems that Pfizer is quite interested in its new drug but this private company will probably not make it to the open market.

It seems like it had tapped into the body’s natural signaling process and looks to be very promising because it attacks on all three side of the equation of hepc with on additional effects when use in conjunction with INF and Riba.

Thanks!  Wish I would have thrown all my money in there yesterday!   Thinking about re treating,  that does sound promising.
