Phase III trials on tenofovir alafenamide meet primary endpoints

7 January 2016

Two Phase III trials on tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) for hepatitis B virus (HBV), being conducted by US biotech major Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD), have met their primary endpoints, it has been reported.

Studies 108 and 110 showed that TAF was non-inferior to Gilead’s Viread (tenofovir disoproxil) based on the percentage of patients with HBV DNA levels below 29IU/mL at 48 weeks of therapy.

The once-daily drug showed improved renal and bone safety, according to the company.
