Merck & Co. (MRK) on Friday said the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration approved supplemental new-drug applications
expanding the use of the HIV-1 treatments Pifeltro and
Delstrigo.
The Kenilworth, N.J., drug maker said the approval expands the
indications for Pifeltro, in combination with other antiretroviral
agents, and Delstrigo as a complete regimen to include adults with
HIV-1 infection who are virologically suppressed on a stable
antiretroviral regimen with no history of treatment failure and no
known substitutions associated with resistance to Pifeltro or the
individual components of Delstrigo.
The FDA last year approved Pifeltro and Delstrigo for the
treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults with no prior antiretroviral
treatment history.
