✦AI Summary
A phase 3 clinical trial has found that a new weekly two-drug pill is as effective as standard daily three-drug treatments for HIV viral suppression. The study, funded by Gilead Sciences and Merck, involved over 600 participants across 12 countries.
The findings suggest that the combination of the antiretroviral drugs islatravir and lenacapavir in a single weekly pill could offer a new treatment option for people with HIV who have the virus under control.
