Hot Gold Companies To Own In Right Now

About a year and a half ago, the market drove shares of Idenix Pharmaceuticals (IDIX) up to $14 on hopes it had struck Hepatitis Type C Virus [HCV] gold. That was before the death and injury of several patients during a clinical trial of Bristol-Myers Squibb's (BMY) similar BMS-094.

After the 094 disaster, the FDA effectively put Idenix's lead compounds on hold. Rather than play the wait-respond-wait game with the FDA over IDX-184 and IDX-19368, Idenix decided it was better to shelve the projects and move on to a slightly different, but perceivably safer nucleotide prodrug.

FDA to Idenix, "No new nucs."

At the end of Q1 2013, Idenix announced its intention to file an investigational new drug [IND] application for uridine nucleotide prodrug, IDX20963, before the end of the first half of 2013. The company made good on its promise and the market rewarded it with a 57% share price boost from $3.36 on April 1, to $5.29 on June 19.
