Vertex (VTRX) has set a new benchmark for the treatment of HCV. Its HCV candidate, Telaprevir, demonstrated significant reduction in viral load with 4.4-log reduction in viral load compared to 1-2 log reduction seen in other standard of care interferon therapy.

We believe that this data sets the bar very high, and we are unsure whether Anadys (ANDS) can reach it. Currently, Telaprevir is undergoing phase III studies. Valeant’s (VRX) Taribavirin (previously known as Viramidine) is in advanced clinical development.
