Gilead Sciences and Merck & Co. will collaborate to develop a long-acting HIV treatment that combines Gilead’s capsid inhibitor lenacapavir with Merck’s islatravir, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor. The molecules are being studied separately in late-stage trials to treat or prevent HIV. Both have long half-lives and robust virus-suppressing activity at low doses. The goal is to replace the daily regimen of pills taken by people with HIV with one pill that is taken every few months.
