I think I misunderstood the 184/320 DDI trial design.
No problem—I think oc631 did also, judging from his posts. To be clear: all patients in the DDI study who received either IDX184 or IDX320 received both drugs together for one of the two study weeks.
…it's probably not a great stretch to think that a safety issue could crop up when moving from 3 days to 14 days. All told, if IDIX can pin down 320 as being the culprit behind the SAEs, I feel pretty good about the chances of ultimately rebounding from today's fall.
Agreed that IDX184 is less likely to be culpable than IDX320, but I think it’s too soon to say that IDX184 is in the clear. There have been several HCV cases from various drug classes that turned up safety problems when well into phase-2; ITMN-191 is one such instance.
