Achillion to Present Updated Clinical HCV Data on ACH-3102 and Preclinical Profile of ACH-3422 at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Annual Meeting

- Late breaker poster presentation will feature updated SVR results from the Phase 2 trial of ACH-3102, NS5A inhibitor, plus sofosbuvir for the eight-week treatment of genotype 1 HCV -

- Three preclinical posters on ACH-3422, uridine-analog nucleotide prodrug, to be presented –

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 8, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACHN) today announced four abstracts have been accepted for presentation at The Liver Meeting® 2014, the 65th Annual Meeting of The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), in Boston, November 7 – 11.

A late breaker poster presentation will be made providing updated results, including SVR12, from an ongoing Phase 2 proxy study evaluating ACH-3102, Achillion's second-generation NS5A inhibitor, in combination with sofosbuvir, without ribavirin, for eight weeks of treatment in patients with treatment-naïve genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This trial is currently dosing patients in a follow-on six-week treatment cohort.

Furthermore, three additional posters will be presented detailing the preclinical profile of ACH-3422, a uridine-analog nucleotide that continues to advance through its Phase 1 clinical development program.

David Apelian, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice Present and Chief Medical Officer, commented, "We are delighted that Achillion's ongoing research into HCV with ACH-3102 will be featured in a late breaker poster presentation during the 2014 Liver Meeting. Furthermore, as we work to complete the Phase 1 trial of ACH-3422, we are pleased to have the opportunity to present new preclinical research detailing the profile of ACH-3422."
