In the report, the analyst notes:

"IDIX shares surged recently following the Company's announcement regarding its interim data from a 14-day, phase IIa clinical trial evaluating its prospective hepatitis C drug IDX-184. According to the data presented at the 45th annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver being held in Vienna, Austria, a 100-milligram dose of the drug prompted antiviral activity after 14 days of treatment in patients during a mid-stage study.

"As stated by Douglas Mayers M.D., IDIX's executive vice president and chief medical officer, the Company believes that with the favorable antiviral activity, safety and resistance profile seen to date, IDX184 could be a potential component of future direct-acting antiviral combination regimens. Dr. Mayers said the Company is moving ahead with dosing on a 150-milligram version of the drug, and looks forward to reporting full data later this year."
