Medivir Announces Development of AL-704 Terminated by Janssen Following Completion of Phase I Clinical Studies

Medivir AB MVIRB today announces that the development of AL-704 (also known as JNJ-54257099) has been terminated following completion of phase I clinical studies conducted by Alios Biopharma Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies JNJ. These studies demonstrated that AL-704 was safe, well tolerated and had acceptable pharmacokinetic properties. However its clinical antiviral activity in persons infected with HCV genotype 1 was insufficient to justify further clinical studies. No further compounds arising from Medivir's license agreement with Janssen on HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitors are expected to be progressed into clinical studies, and therefore no further revenues from this agreement will be received.
