ACHN - The QD dose seems pretty impressive. The only recent comparable PI QD data I can find is for VX-222 which had a 3.4 log reduction for a 1500mg dose for 3 days. In comparison ach-1625 is a 600 mg dose for 5 days. Obviously its a small study but may attract some attention is my guess.

"Treatment with VX-222 resulted in mean reductions in plasma HCV RNA of greater than 3 log10 across the four VX-222 dose
groups. Additionally, an increasing dose response was observed across the four dose groups, with the results in the 500 mg,
750 mg and 1,500 mg dose groups being very similar. The mean HCV RNA decline achieved after three days of dosing with
250 mg BID, 500 mg BID, and 750 mg BID of VX-222 was 3.1 log10 (range: 2.0 to 4.2), 3.4 log10 (range: 3.2 to 3.6), and 3.2
log10 (range: 2.3 to 3.8), respectively. The mean HCV RNA decline achieved after three days of dosing with 1,500 mg QD of
VX-222 was 3.4 log10 (range: 3.1 to 3.9).
In the patients receiving placebo, no notable decline in HCV RNA was observed.
Similar viral declines were observed for patients infected with genotype 1a and 1b."
