Pharmasset

I don't understand why Pharmasset is being so adored right now, especially by the market. From what I've read most of their trials have been very positive but also very small. I hope their meds are as good as the market makes it appear. Anyone know more?

This link might interest you .. it has all chart of all the drugs in research as of June 2011 and the phases they are in ..

http://www.hcvdrugs.com/

Many "experimental" or drugs in development do not make through Phase 2 and Phase 3 .
The overall average is less than 50% of those started that do make it through all the trial phases ....

We have to be patient and know that with all the "new interest" and $$ in developing a high Tx average "cure" for HCV , Sometime in the future there is a real possibility that something will come along that will be our "silver bullet".

Cheers

Great post Aaron.  Not completely up to date.  The Hoffman-LaRoche and last Pharmasset study are Phase II I believe.  I see that HepatitisCNewDrugResearch.com was taken down for some reason.  I hope it wasn't for all that abstract info that was posted precipitously.

HCV advocate has a nicely laid out list of all the HCV drugs and where they are in clinical trials. It's updates 2 or 3 times a month.
