Triangle: Once-Daily Coviracil Regimen Superior To Zerit
Friday September 27, 10:32 am ET

SAN DIEGO -(Dow Jones)- Triangle Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NasdaqNM:VIRS - News) said results from a Phase III trial show its Coviracil HIV treatment is safer and more effective than Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s Zerit.

In a press release Friday, Triangle said the 48-week, double-blind trial compared once-a-day Coviracil to Zerit given twice a day, each combined with a complementary regimen of Bristol-Myers' Sustiva and Videx EC given once a day. The trial, dubbed FTC-301, enrolled 571 patients, 85% of them male, in the U.S., Europe, Mexico and South America.

"This trial illustrated the potential of successfully treating patients with fully once-a-day regimens," said Franck Rousseau, executive vice president of research, development and medical in Friday's statement.

Triangle submitted a new drug application for Coviracil to the Food and Drug Administration earlier this month.
