Quad Pill Works Over 2 Years (CME/CE)

In pooled results from two randomized clinical trials, treatment with the four-drug, once-daily single tablet (Stribild) continued to show efficacy comparable with other anti-HIV regimens out to 96 weeks, researchers said here.

After 96 weeks, 84% of patients on the 'quad' achieved undetectable suppression of HIV using the 50 copies/mm3 assay compared with viral suppression in 82% of patients on the combination of efavirenz-emtricitabine-tenofovir (Atripla), said David Cooper, MD, professor of medicine at the Kirby Institute, University of New South Wales, Sydney.
