Gilead Sciences chief scientific officer Norbert Bischofberger said that his is the first time the company is developing a protease inhibitor-containing single-tablet regimen, due to the small milligram size of GS 7340.
"We are pleased to once again be partnering with Tibotec to advance and simplify HIV treatment for patients," Bischofberger added.
Gilead plans to begin a Phase II study of GS 7340, an anti-HIV agent, in 2012.
