GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK.LN) said that its majority-owned joint
venture ViiV Healthcare has been granted marketing authorization by
the European Commission for its HIV treatment Juluca.
Juluca has been approved for HIV-1 in adults who are
virologically suppressed and who have been on an antiretroviral
treatment regimen for at least six months, the GlaxoSmithKline
said.
The treatment consists of two drugs in a single pill.
ViiV Healthcare Chief Executive Deborah Waterhouse said the
decision will allow patients to access a complete treatment program
that maintains low levels of the autoimmune virus with a single
pill.
Pfizer Inc. (PFE) and Shionogi Limited are minority shareholders
in ViiV Healthcare.
