SILVER SPRING, Md., Dec. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Sunlenca (lenacapavir), a new type of antiretroviral medication for adult patients living with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), whose HIV infections cannot be successfully treated with other available treatments due to resistance, intolerance, or safety considerations. After the starting dose is completed, Sunlenca is administered as subcutaneous (under the skin) injections once every six months, allowing convenient dosing for patients.
Gilead`s Sunlenca (Lenacapavir) Receives Approval in Europe
The European Commission has cleared lenacapavir for use every six months alongside other antiretrovirals to treat adults with multidrug-resistant HIV infection for whom no alternative effective treatment is available, Gilead said Monday. The current regimen also requires a lead-in phase with oral lenacapavir before the patient gets the twice-yearly under-the-skin injection. Gilead will market the drug as Sunlenca in Europe.
