BLRX still says their MOA is to block virus induced autophagy....

BL-8020's mechanism of action involves the inhibition of HCV-induced autophagy in the host cells. Autophagy is a mechanism by which cells degrade damaged or unnecessary cellular components, including invading viruses. However, HCV has found a way to take advantage of this mechanism in order to replicate inside the cell. By inhibiting this mechanism, BL-8020 reduces the ability of HCV to replicate.
