"Dr. Gane is an investigator for many international clinical trials with particular interest in early phase development of new direct acting antiviral therapies against chronic hepatitis C, hepatitis B, NASH and HCC. He has published almost 350 papers in peer-reviewed journals including The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine."
(my comment) Enanta seemed pretty confident about EDP-721. The guy they chose to run the phase 1 trial is also top notch, IMHO.
