Gold prices cool after hitting over 2-week high on Fed independence fears
Investing.com -- Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ:GILD) announced Friday that the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion recommending lenacapavir for use as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
The recommendation, which came under accelerated review, supports the use of lenacapavir to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents who are at increased risk of HIV-1 acquisition.
A final decision from the European Commission regarding the approval of lenacapavir for this indication is expected later in 2025.
The positive CHMP opinion represents a significant step forward in the regulatory process for Gilead’s HIV prevention treatment in Europe.
