-- Gilead Sciences (GILD) said Wednesday the US Food and Drug Administration accepted its new drug application for an investigational once-daily HIV treatment combining bictegravir and lenacapavir, granting priority review with a target action date of Aug. 27.
The application is backed by Phase 3 ARTISTRY-1 and ARTISTRY-2 trials, which showed the regimen maintained virological suppression at 48 weeks and was generally well tolerated in adults with HIV, including those switching from multi-tablet regimens or Biktarvy, the company said.
The bictegravir 75-milligram and lenacapavir 50-mg combination remains investigational and has not been approved globally, with its safety and efficacy yet to be fully established, the company said.
