Gilead Sciences presented new HIV treatment and cure research at CROI 2025, showcasing advancements in long-acting therapies and investigational cure strategies. The company highlighted the long-term efficacy of Biktarvy in people with HIV and HBV coinfection, showing high viral suppression rates in a Phase 3 study.

Gilead also announced that its investigational long-acting treatment regimen, combining lenacapavir with broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), met its primary endpoint in a Phase 2 study and received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA. This twice-yearly injectable therapy demonstrated strong efficacy, with 96% of participants maintaining viral suppression at 26 weeks.

Additionally, results from the first HIV cure clinical trial conducted in South Africa were presented. The study tested a combination of investigational compounds, including vesatolimod and bNAbs, in individuals who had been virologically suppressed. While the approach did not achieve a complete cure, the findings provide insights for future cure strategies.

Gilead remains committed to developing innovative treatments for HIV, with ongoing research into long-acting therapies and potential cure approaches.

Gilead Sciences presented the first clinical data on its investigational once-yearly injectable lenacapavir for HIV prevention at the CROI 2025 conference, with findings also published in *The Lancet*. The Phase 1 study demonstrated that two formulations of intramuscular lenacapavir maintained plasma concentrations above levels associated with HIV prevention efficacy for over 52 weeks. Based on these results, Gilead plans to initiate a Phase 3 trial in the second half of 2025.

The study, which included 40 healthy adults, showed that both formulations of lenacapavir achieved higher median trough concentrations than the twice-yearly subcutaneous formulation used in previous trials. Safety data indicated that the drug was well tolerated, with the most common side effect being mild, temporary injection site pain.

Additional findings presented at CROI included survey results from the PURPOSE 1 trial, showing that most participants preferred twice-yearly injections over daily oral PrEP. Adolescents in the study reported similar pharmacokinetic and safety profiles as adults, with no new HIV infections observed among those receiving lenacapavir.

Lenacapavir, already approved in multiple countries for treating drug-resistant HIV, is being evaluated as a long-acting PrEP option. Gilead's PURPOSE program, the most comprehensive HIV prevention trial series to date, is assessing the drug’s potential in diverse populations. The company remains committed to advancing innovative HIV treatments and prevention strategies.

A new report from PatientView highlights the continued importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies in shaping patient groups' perceptions of major pharmaceutical companies. Despite declining corporate interest and increasing political opposition to ESG in the U.S., the survey of 701 patient groups found that 94% consider a company's social impact important, followed by 88% prioritizing corporate governance and 67% emphasizing environmental practices.

When ranking 15 major drugmakers on ESG performance, Roche was rated highest overall, followed by Gilead Sciences and Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. Among companies that patient groups have directly partnered with, Gilead took the top spot, followed by Roche and AstraZeneca.

The report also suggests that patient groups want clearer communication and more concrete actions from pharma companies regarding ESG initiatives. While the study underscores ESG's relevance to patient organizations, broader business support for ESG is wavering. A GlobalData survey found that only 8% of people believe ESG will significantly impact their business in the next year, down from 20% in 2022.

In the U.S., ESG has become a contentious issue, with multiple states enacting laws against such policies. PatientView noted that fewer U.S. patient groups participated in this survey compared to past pharma-related studies, likely reflecting the growing controversy surrounding ESG commitments.

Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has validated its Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) and EU-Medicines for All (EU-M4all) application for lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injectable HIV-1 capsid inhibitor for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The applications will be assessed in parallel under an accelerated review timeline, recognizing lenacapavir’s potential public health impact.

The EU MAA will undergo centralized review across 27 EU Member States, along with Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, while the EU-M4all application aims to facilitate expedited approvals in low- and lower-middle-income countries. This development follows the U.S. FDA’s acceptance of New Drug Applications (NDAs) for lenacapavir under priority review.

The EMA’s validation is supported by results from Phase 3 PURPOSE 1 and PURPOSE 2 trials, which demonstrated high efficacy in reducing HIV infection rates. In PURPOSE 1, the lenacapavir group showed zero infections, while PURPOSE 2 recorded a 96% risk reduction in HIV infections compared to background HIV incidence.

If approved, lenacapavir could transform global HIV prevention efforts as a long-acting, twice-yearly PrEP option, offering an alternative to daily oral Truvada (F/TDF). Gilead is actively working on an access strategy to expedite global availability.

Lenacapavir for HIV prevention remains investigational and has not yet received approval worldwide.
