FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:GILD) today announced two-year (96-week) data from a Phase 3 study and 48-week data from two Phase 3b studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of switching virologically suppressed HIV-1 infected patients from regimens containing Truvada® (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 200mg/300mg; FTC/TDF) to regimens containing Descovy® (emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide 200mg/25mg; FTC/TAF). Results demonstrated regimens containing Descovy to be statistically non-inferior to regimens containing Truvada, with improvements in certain renal and bone laboratory parameters among patients receiving Descovy (FTC/TAF)-based regimens. The data were presented in an oral session (Treatment Strategies) at the 2016 HIV Glasgow conference in Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
