Gilead Sciences, Inc. Research Report
On November 2, 2013, Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) announced results from a Phase 3 study, PHOTON-1, which evaluated the investigational once-daily nucleotide analogue sofosbuvir for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among patients co-infected with HIV. According to the results of the trial, 76% of genotype 1 HCV treatment naïve patients receiving 24 weeks of an all-oral, interferon-free regimen of sofosbuvir plus ribavirin (RBV) achieved a sustained virologic response 12 weeks after completing therapy (SVR12). The Company stated that patients who achieve SVR12 are considered cured of HCV infection. Douglas Dieterich, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Liver Diseases and Director of Continuing Medical Education in the Department of Medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine said, "In this study, sofosbuvir-based all-oral therapy achieved high SVR rates in a hard-to-treat patient population. This regimen may have the potential to help us overcome the clinical challenge of treating HCV/HIV co-infection."
