"I don't see how the P3 gets done without riba"

agree...now everything is riding on the drug interaction study

about the only positive is that the 53% undetectable in naives is higher than historical undetectable rate at end of treatment in gen-1s on peg alone (35%, Hepatology. 2001 Aug;34(2):395-403)..so there is clearly efficacy to the drug but it certainly doesn't look like it can bump riba from the regimen

<< SVR rates were not. One SVR is still one SVR , and zero is still zero. SOC got 1 SVR from <<only>> 34 patients. NM283 got zero SVRs from 144 patients.>>

"1" is not a lot
You imply that you can extrapolate to 4 SVR in 4x34 pts --
That seems like spinning to me.

Im no expert but the numbers of patients are very small to draw conclusions

maybe someone who knows statistics would opine

I think the response has been too negative.
All of these drugs have limited responses
No one realistically expected the drug to be used alone
It's potential use in a cocktail- and mkt value has not changed much
