Achillion is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of anti-infective drug therapies in the United States and internationally. The Company focuses on the development of antiviral therapies for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection. One of the Company's lead cliical-stage drug candidates is sovaprevir - a treatment for chronic HCV infection - designed for use in combination with other therapeutic products with complementary mechanisms of action. The investigation is related to allegations that the Company misrepresented or failed to disclose that sovaprevir did not interact well with other drugs commonly used to treat hepatitis or patients infected with both hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

On July 1, 2013, Achillion disclosed that the Food and Drug Administration instituted a clinical hold on sovaprevir after elevations in liver enzymes were noted in a "Phase I healthy subject drug-drug interaction study evaluating the effects of concomitant administration of sovaprevir with ritonavir-boosted atazanavir." Subsequently, on September 27, 2013, the Company disclosed that the FDA had continued its clinical hold on sovaprevir after the agency concluded that "removal of the clinical hold is not warranted."
