Gilead gets FDA priority review for bictegravir regimen for HIV treatment

Gilead filed the NDA for BIC/FTC/TAF with a Priority Review voucher on June 12, 2017, and FDA has set a target action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) of February 12, 2018.

The NDA is supported by data from four Phase 3 studies that evaluated the fixed-dose combination among treatment-naïve patients and among virologically suppressed patients.

A marketing application for BIC/FTC/TAF is also under review in the European Union, and was validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in July.

Bictegravir in combination with FTC/TAF as a single tablet regimen is an investigational treatment that has not been determined to be safe or efficacious and is not approved anywhere globally.
