Biktarvy shows strong efficacy in broad range of people with HIV

29 July 2022

US biotech major Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD) late on Thursday announced results reinforcing Biktarvy (bictegravir 50mg/emtricitabine 200mg/tenofovir alafenamide 25mg tablets, B/F/TAF) as a highly efficacious treatment option for a broad range of people with HIV, including individuals with HIV/hepatitis B (HBV) co-infection.

Interim data from the ALLIANCE trial evaluating Biktarvy in adults with HIV/HBV coinfection who were initiating therapy show potential suppression of HBV and HIV suppression comparable to an alternative HIV regimen.

Biktarvy is now Gilead’s biggest selling product, generating first-quarter 2020 revenues of $2.15 billion, up 18% year-on-year.
