>I see the move to Viread and the downplay of Hepsera as a possible positive to telbivudine... (am I off base?)<

The supplanting of Hepsera by Viread is neutral for IDIX, IMO.

Bad for IDIX: Viread is a better drug than Hepsera and hence a stronger rival to Tyzeka for monotherapy.

Good for IDIX: Viread is a better drug than Hepsera and hence it raises the probability that Ns+Nt combination therapy will be successful. This, in turn, will increase the overall number of HBV patients who are treated.
