11 August 2017

Californian biotech firm Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD) has received priority review status from the US FDA for an investigational combination of HIV candidate bictegravir plus emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide.

The combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide, also a Gilead program and marketed as Descovy, received approval in the USA and Europe as a treatment for HIV in April last year.

A decision on the new triple therapy is expected by February 12, 2018.
