<p><strong>MRK</strong> reported that <strong>the Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted unanimously</strong> that the available data support approval of <strong>MRK</strong>’s investigational medicine VICTRELIS (boceprevir) for the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection in combination with current standard therapy.</p>
<p><strong>MRK</strong>’s VICTRELIS is one of a new class of medicines known as HCV protease inhibitors being evaluated by the FDA for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 infection in adult patients with compensated liver disease who are previously untreated or who have failed previous therapy.</p>
<p>The committee’s recommendation will be considered by the FDA in its review of the New Drug Application for VICTRELIS. The FDA is not bound by the committee’s guidance, but takes its advice into consideration when reviewing investigational medicines. <strong>MRK</strong> anticipates FDA action on VICTRELIS by mid-May.</p>
<p><strong>MRK</strong> also reported that its Board of Directors has approved additional purchases of up to $5 billion of <strong>MRK</strong>’s common stock for its treasury.
