Shionogi-ViiV to file HIV drug for approval

Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare has released the phase III data required for initial regulatory filings of the investigational integrase inhibitor dolutegravir in adults infected with HIV.

The phase III studies data include VIKING-3 and SAILING studies, which used dolutegravir in treatment of HIV patients who have already experienced treatment.

The two studies support the previously disclosed data from the SPRING-2 and SINGLE studies.

These additional study data are expected to support Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare’s plans to commence global regulatory submissions for dolutegravir before the end of 2012.

Dolutegravir has not received any approval as a drug to treat HIV or any other indication anywhere in the world.

VIKING-3, SAILING, SPRING-2 and SINGLE are all ongoing clinical studies in treatment-experienced adults with HIV-1 to assess the antiviral activity and safety of dolutegravir 50mg twice-daily in treatment-experienced adults with HIV-1.
