WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) today announced 24-week data from a Phase 3 clinical trial, SPIRIT (Switching boosted PI to Rilpivirine In Combination with Truvada as a Single Tablet Regimen), which evaluated virologically suppressed treatment-experienced HIV patients switching from a multi-pill regimen containing a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor to the once-daily single tablet regimen Complera® (emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate). The study met its 24-week primary endpoint, which found that switching to Complera was non-inferior to remaining on a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor regimen. These findings will be presented today in an oral session (Abstract #TUAB0104) at the 19th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) in Washington, D.C.
