HIV specialist ViiV Healthcare has announced the submission of a marketing authorization application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) seeking approval of fostemsavir, an investigational, first-in-class attachment inhibitor for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

This application seeks approval of fostemsavir, used in combination with other antiretrovirals, for adults with multidrug resistant HIV-1 infection for whom it is otherwise not possible to construct a suppressive antiviral regimen due to resistance, intolerance or safety considerations.
