(Nasdaq: GILD) today announced data evaluating lenacapavir in combination with broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) teropavimab and zinlirvimab as a potential long-acting treatment regimen with twice-yearly dosing.Results fromthe Phase 1b clinical trial demonstrated the investigational combination was generally well tolerated with high efficacy in select virologically suppressed participants living with HIV. These data were presented at the 30th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI).

“Novel long-acting HIV treatment options will drive the next chapter in care and may help meet the therapy needs and preferences of people living with HIV. In this study we found that lenacapavir and bNAbs in a combination approach may have a significant role to play in the future treatment of HIV,” said Dr. Joseph Eron, MD, lead study investigator and the Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. “As a clinician who strives to support the people living with the virus under my care, it will be exciting to continue evaluating the combination regimen as a potential twice-yearly long-acting HIV treatment option.”
