Cocrystal Pharma (OTCQB:COCP) announced the successful and positive data from their phase 1a/1b study for their compound CC-31244 with healthy volunteers and patients with hepatitis C.
As quoted in the press release:

CC-31244 is a broad-spectrum, potent NS5B non-nucleoside inhibitor (NNI) of HCV replication with a high barrier to resistance.
This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 1a/1b study was designed to evaluate single and multiple ascending doses of CC-31244 for safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity in HCV-infected patients. In Phase 1a, 30 healthy volunteers received single doses (20-400 mg) of CC-31244, and 12 healthy volunteers received repeated doses of CC-31244 (either 200 or 400 mg) for 7 days. In Phase 1b, 15 patients with HCV genotype-1 infection received CC-31244 for 7 days (6, 400 mg daily; 6, 600 mg daily; 3, 200 mg twice daily). Eighteen subjects received placebo during the study.
There were no dose-limiting adverse events, study discontinuations due to adverse events, or serious adverse events reported. Viral load data showed that CC-31244 administered once daily (400 mg or 600 mg) or twice daily (200 mg) for 7 days had a substantial and durable antiviral effect, with an average HCV RNA viral load decline from baseline of 3 log orders by Day 4. Interestingly, the average viral load at 6 days after the last dose persisted in the range of 1.7-2.0 log orders below baseline. HCV genotype 1b cell-based replicon assays using combinations of CC-31244 with other classes of HCV drugs showed additive and synergistic effects of CC-31244, providing important information for ultra-short therapy cocktail regimen.
