SCH 900518, a 2nd-Generation HCV PI from SGP

SGP disclosed this drug for the first time on its R&D webcast in November. The phase-1b efficacy results are shown below. Two arms are treatment-naïve and two are treatment-experienced, two are BID with ritonavir boosting, and two are TID without ritonavir. (Only BID and qD dosing are tested in phase-2b—see below.)



This is the phase-2a trial in progress:
