Vertex Pharma Files Paperwork With FDA to Begin Mid-Stage Clinical Trial for Hepatitis C Drug

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Drug maker Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Friday that it filed an investigational new drug application with the Food and Drug Administration to carry out a mid-stage clinical trial for its experimental hepatitis C drug.

The company said it submitted the application with data showing that its VX-950 treatment reduced virus levels in patients by 25,000-fold in 14 days. Analysis of study data suggests that the treatment could reduce the virus to undetectable levels within 12 weeks, it said.

Vertex shares rose 5 cents to $25.65 in morning trading on the Nasdaq.
