▴ ViiV Healthcare announces positive CHMP opinion for Rukobia, for the treatment of adults with multidrug-resistant HIV
Fostemsavir addresses a critical unmet need in HIV care for those with little to no treatment options left.

ViiV Healthcare, the global specialist HIV company majority-owned by GlaxoSmithKline plc (“GSK”), with Pfizer Inc. and Shionogi Limited as shareholders, today announced that the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued a positive opinion recommending approval of Rukobia (fostemsavir) 600 mg extended-release tablets, a novel attachment inhibitor for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Fostemsavir, in combination with other antiretrovirals, is indicated for the treatment of adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection for whom it is otherwise not possible to construct a suppressive anti-viral regimen.

ViiV Healthcare is a global specialist HIV company established in November 2009 by GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer dedicated to delivering advances in treatment and care for people living with HIV and for people who are at risk of becoming infected with HIV. Shionogi joined in October 2012. The company’s aim is to take a deeper and broader interest in HIV/AIDS than any company has done before and take a new approach to deliver effective and innovative medicines for HIV treatment and prevention, as well as support communities affected by HIV.
