In the ongoing study, Biktarvy was found to be statistically non-inferior to a regimen of dolutegravir and emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (50 mg) (DTG+FTC/TAF) through 96 weeks of therapy.
The data were presented during a late-breaking abstract session at the 2018 HIV Glasgow conference in Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
Biktarvy is indicated in the US as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults who have no antiretroviral treatment history or to replace the current antiretroviral regimen in those adults who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA 100,000 c/mL) or low CD4 counts (CD4 < 200 cells/µL) are also being presented in a poster session at HIV Glasgow. Biktarvy is only approved for use in adults.
Study 1490 is ongoing and will remain randomized and blinded through 144 weeks.
Biktarvy is approved in Australia, Canada, the European Union, Hong Kong and the United States.
Biktarvy does not cure HIV infection or AIDS.
