Gilead Sciences, declared detailed 48-week data from an open-label Phase 3 study (Study 109) evaluating its investigational once-daily single tablet regimen (STR) of elvitegravir 150 mg, cobicistat 150 mg, emtricitabine 200 mg and tenofovir alafenamide 10 mg (E/C/F/TAF) among 1,436 virologically suppressed adult patients switching from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-containing regimens. The study met its primary endpoint by demonstrating non-inferiority of E/C/F/TAF to the TDF-based regimens at Week 48. The study also demonstrated statistical superiority among patients with HIV-1 RNA levels less than 50 copies/mL at Week 48 and statistically noteworthy improvements in bone and renal laboratory parameters. These data were presented in an oral session (session TUAB0102) at the 8th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment & Prevention (IAS) in Vancouver, Canada.

In November 2014, Gilead filed a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for E/C/F/TAF, the first investigational once-daily TAF-based STR. TAF is an investigational novel nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) that has demonstrated high antiviral efficacy at a dose less than one-tenth that of Gilead’s Viread® (TDF), in addition to improved renal and bone laboratory parameters as contrast to TDF in earlier clinical trials in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
