Pfizer Inc. Research Report
On September 12, 2013, ViiV Healthcare, a joint company by Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) and GlaxoSmithKline plc (GlaxoSmithKline), announced initial results from the Phase IIIb/IV FLAMINGO (ING114915) study. The Company noted that the open-label study compared once-daily regimens containing 50mg dolutegravir with once-daily regimens containing a protease inhibitor (PI) (800mg darunavir boosted with 100mg ritonavir) in treatment-naive adults with HIV-1. At the 48-week time point between the dolutegravir and darunavir-based regimens, the initial results demonstrated non-inferiority. "This is the first study in our clinical programme to compare dolutegravir to a boosted protease inhibitor in treatment-naive patients. PIs are often selected as part of a first-line regimen for treatment-naive patients, so these data provide important information regarding dolutegravir as a treatment choice for these patients," said Dr. John Pottage, Chief Medical Officer of ViiV Healthcare.
