GSK plc announced that ViiV Healthcare, the global specialist HIV company majority owned by GSK, with Pfizer and Shionogi as shareholders, will be presenting the largest head-to-head, randomised clinical trial (RCT) of the 2-drug regimen Dovato (dolutegravir/lamivudine [DTG/3TC]) compared against the 3-drug regimen, Biktarvy (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide [BIC/FTC/TAF]) at the 25th International AIDS Conference in Munich, Germany (22 – 26 July). The presentation is one of 25 abstracts evaluating the company’s portfolio of marketed HIV treatment and prevention options alongside its next-generation pipeline assets.

Harmony P. Garges, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at ViiV Healthcare, said: “The exciting findings we’ll be presenting at AIDS 2024 continue to underscore our position as industry leaders in the development of long-acting and 2-drug regimens and our pioneering approaches to both HIV treatment and prevention. People living with HIV continue to tell us they want more treatment options to allow for more personal choice to address needs beyond viral suppression. The breadth of the data we’re announcing, including the head-to-head study between Dovato and Biktarvy, helps individuals better understand those options. We’re proud to be at the forefront of innovative science, driving advancements that have and will continue to transform the future of HIV care and contribute to ending the epidemic.”
