IDX-184 is an antiviral drug which was developed as a treatment for hepatitis C, acting as a NS5B RNA polymerase inhibitor.[1][2] While it showed reasonable effectiveness in early clinical trials it did not progress past Phase IIb.[3] However research using this drug has continued as it shows potentially useful activity against other emerging viral diseases such as Zika virus,[4][5] and coronaviruses including MERS,[6] and SARS-CoV-2.[7][8]
