German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) said USdrug maker Gilead’s (Nasdaq: GILD) anti-HIV drug Genvoya provides marginally lower benefit in comparison with the competition, according to an early benefit assessment.
The regulator has said the drug offered minor added benefit for pre-treated women, but not for men.
The drug is indicated if the previous treatment has failed or cannot be continued due to side effects.
The Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) said between four groups of patients depending on age (adolescents/ adults) and previous treatment (pre-treated/ treatment-naive). Genvoya was compared with efavirenz in combination with two other drugs in treatment-naive patients, and with individual antiretroviral therapy in pre-treated patients.
US drug major Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) markets efavirenz under the brand name Sustiva in the US, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
