ViiV Healthcare has unveiled encouraging mid-stage data backing a long-acting formulation of its two-drug regimen cabotegravir and rilpivirine for the treatment of HIV.
A long-acting, two-drug HIV regimen being co-developed by ViiV Healthcare and Janssen Sciences Ireland UC has shown comparable viral suppression rates to a three-drug regimen in a Phase II trial, indicating its potential to reduce the dosing burden for patients and thus improve treatment adherence.
