  • Gilead and Glaxo's HIV Battle Intensifies
    February 14, 2017 Gilead and Glaxo’s HIV battle intensifies Madeleine Armstrong The first phase II data with Gilead’s HIV integrase inhibitor bictegravir have set up a showdown with Glaxosmithkline/Viiv Healthcare’s marketed product dolutegravir. But Glaxo is already one step ahead with data from a two-drug combo that could reduce the side-effect burden for HIV patients. Glaxo believes that this doublet could “reshape the whole game”, the group's chief executive, Andrew Witty, said on its fourth-quarter earnings call. HIV has been one of the group’s main drivers in recent quarters as it has taken market share from Gilead, which is becoming increasingly reliant on HIV as its hepatitis C franchise slows (see tables below). Bictegravir vs dolutegravir The phase II study, presented today at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Seattle, compared bictegravir plus emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide – known as FTC/TAF – with dolutegravir plus FTC/TAF in 98 treatment-naive, HIV-infected adults. Both are the latest iterations of the integrase inhibitor class, and unlike older products with the same mechanism do not require boosting – taking another drug to raise circulating levels – so have a lower risk of adverse events and drug-drug interactions. The phase II trial found similar response rates with a bictegravir-containing regimen versus a dolutegravir- containing therapy, which should boost confidence in Gilead’s compound ahead of phase III readouts expected mid-year. It found a 97% response in the bictegravir arm at 24 and 48 weeks, versus 94% at week 24 and 91% at week 48 in the dolutegravir arm, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Mylan’s doxycycline price increases were called out by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep.

They noted that from October 2013 to April 2014, the average price charged for a 500-count bottle of 100 mg tablets had risen from $20 to $1,829, an 8,281% increase. Mylan is now under fire for repeatedly rais- ing the price of its severe allergy treatment EpiPen (epinephrine), which has increased from about $100 for a two-pack in 2008 to more than $600.

With the sustained development of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), significant success has been achieved for preventing and relieving disease activity in RA patients. Unfortunately, some patients still show limited response to DMARDs, which puts forward new requirements for special targets and novel therapies. Understanding the pathogenetic roles of the various molecules in RA could facilitate discovery of potential therapeutic targets and approaches.
