DateIssuerRelease
2003-02-11 Gilead Sciences Results Phase III Data Show Emtricitabine Maintains Viral Load Suppression as Part of Once-Daily, Protease-Sparing Anti-HIV Regimen gilead.com ↗
At 48 weeks, 94 percent of patients receiving the once-daily regimen of emtricitabine, didanosine and efavirenz had HIV RNA levels (viral load) less than 400 copies/mL, compared to 92 percent randomized to continue therapy in the PI-based arm (intent to treat population, assays performed at local laboratories at investigational centers).
2001-06-05 Gilead Sciences Results Gilead Sciences Presents Data Characterizing Resistance Profile of Tenofovir DF, Investigational Agent for the Treatment of HIV gilead.com ↗
The results demonstrate that chain-terminator removal occurs more readily with nucleosides than nucleotides and may contribute to the higher-level of resistance associated with nucleosides.
