The answer to that question may well depend on "why" it had a negligible effect - if indeed it did. Much has been made of the similarities between the HCV and HBV treatments. If, for example, the vector was a problem, then it would make sense for the TT-034 results to be delayed in order to buy time to develop a new vector. Then, when the TT-034 data is released, the company will be able to point to a change in the design of the HBV treatment which eliminates the problem.
If big pharma is actually sniffing around, I am sure that they would want to be assured that any shortcomings of TT-034 will be overcome for HBV before signing any deal.
TT-034 data collection finishes this month, so we don't have long to wait.

That is an excellent alternative explanation, Hoy! One that is completely plausible. The final seconds on the clock are ticking down. Did we fumble, get a touchdown, or did we at least get a field goal. ;-)
