Bristol-Myers Squibb and ZymoGenetics presented final results from a Phase 1b clinical trial of PEG-Interferon lambda administered with ribavirin in relapsed and treatment-naïve hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. Antiviral activity was observed at all dose levels tested.
“There is a strong need for additional options for hepatitis C patients,” said Brian Daniels, M.D., senior vice president, Global Development & Medical Affairs, Bristol-Myers Squibb. “We are pursuing this investigational pathway to address the fact that although current interferons have been the backbone of therapy with meaningful efficacy, they are often poorly tolerated, leading to dose reductions, poor compliance and avoidance of treatment.”
