Gilead Sciences press release

Gilead Sciences, Inc. today announced the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted its New Drug Application (NDA) submission for bictegravir 75 mg/lenacapavir 50 mg (BIC/LEN) – an investigational, once-daily single-tablet combination regimen for the treatment of HIV in adults who are virologically suppressed. The FDA has granted priority review of the application and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of August 27, 2026.

If approved, BIC/LEN has the potential to be a single-tablet regimen designed to provide sustained virologic suppression with a high barrier to resistance for people living with HIV who are virologically suppressed, including those who are aging, with comorbidities, seeking to streamline a complex regimen, with prior ARV resistance, and those seeking novel treatment options.
