Will German Regulators Dampen Gilead Hopes For Its Stribild AIDS Drug?
German regulators have issued a preliminary decision that the Gilead Sciences once-daily, combination Stribild HIV treatment does not offer a benefit over the older Atripla medication. Gilead is appealing, but if regulators remain firm, the drugmaker may face 'referenced' pricing - Stribild would be lowered to the Atripla price and if other European Union countries adopt the same, the value if fixed-dose regimen products could be diminished.

One Pill or Three? Conflicting Research Puts HIV Generics in the Spotlight
On the face of things, the strategy makes perfect sense.
With the patent expiring on one of the three drugs in Atripla (the once-daily, single-pill antiretroviral used in first-line therapy in the U.S.), why not save money by using a cheap generic version of first drug (Sustiva), replacing the second (Emtriva) with a suitable generic (Epivir), and offering the branded drug component (Viread) on its own? Drug coverage providers in the U.S. could potentially save up to $1 billion per year, said an investigative team from Harvard Medical School this past July....Read Full Post (Source: About AIDS / HIV)
