Gilead wins FDA approval for Bixlenvo HIV combo pill
  • The FDA approved Bixlenvo, a once-daily HIV pill from Gilead for adults whose virus is suppressed but who cannot use currently available single-tablet treatment options.
  • Bixlenvo combines bictegravir, the backbone of Biktarvy, with lenacapavir, a capsid inhibitor central to Gilead's HIV treatment and prevention strategy.
  • Gilead said Bixlenvo's list price is $4,595 for a 30-day supply before discounts or rebates, in line with other daily single-tablet HIV treatments.
