The results confirmed that the trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating safety and tolerability. Hepatitis C affects over 170 million people worldwide, including over four million people in the US. PYN 17 is the only drug currently in development specifically for the treatment of the debilitating symptoms, impaired health related quality of life ("HRQoL") and liver inflammation associated with the disease. Currently available antiviral treatments with pegylated interferon and ribavirin are only effective in approximately 50 per cent of patients treated, often with significant associated toxicity and side effects. As a result, it is estimated that the market for treatments for hepatitis C will grow to around US$9 billion by 2010, and the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to participate in this market growth. About Phynova Phynova is a UK incorporated company developing prescription pharmaceuticals derived from plants used in Chinese medicines. The Company is focused on viral and bacterial diseases, metabolic diseases and cancer. Phynova´s lead product for hepatitis C has now completed a Phase I/II trial in the US and the Company is planning a further Phase II efficacy trial in 2008.
