A once-daily combination pill containing bictegravir and lenacapavir could offer a simpler alternative for people with HIV who are taking complex antiretroviral regimens, according to study results presented at CROI 2026. Gilead Sciences is testing a new single-tablet regimen consisting of 75 mg bictegravir and 50 mg lenacapavir (BIC/LEN).
The findings from ARTISTRY-1 and ARTISTRY-2 trials were presented. ARTISTRY-1 trial evaluated bictegravir plus lenacapavir as a switch option for people taking complex regimens. ARTISTRY-2 trial evaluated the BIC/LEN single-tablet regimen as a switch option for people currently taking Biktarvy.
