Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) today announced data presented at the 23rd International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2020: Virtual) evaluating the impact of COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders (SIPOs) and PrEP utilization on HIV prevention strategies and associated risk behaviors. Findings presented included results from an online survey conducted by The American Academy of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM) to understand potential changes in behavior among pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users and prescribers in the United States during the height of COVID-19 SIPOs. There were 598 total respondents – 409 PrEP users and 189 PrEP prescribers. While most prescribers (90 percent) reported recommending no change in PrEP regimen, about one-third (33 percent) of PrEP users discontinued therapy voluntarily, mostly (85 percent) due to low perceived HIV risk associated with decreased sexual activity. Only 8 percent of those users who discontinued PrEP cited inability to access PrEP medications. Nearly all prescribers (95 percent) were able to successfully prescribe PrEP despite limitations caused by SIPOs.

Novavax Covid Vaccine Gets $1.6 Billion in U.S. Funding
(Bloomberg) -- Novavax Inc., one of the front-runners in the race to develop a Covid-19 vaccine, will receive $1.6 billion from the U.S. government, the biggest contribution yet from the Operation Warp Speed program.The funds will allow the company to conduct advanced human studies and establish manufacturing to deliver 100 million doses as soon as late 2020, Gaithersburg, Maryland-based Novavax said in a statement.Shares of Novavax rose as much as 41%, the highest since September 2016, in Tuesday trading.Novavax is among companies striving to develop an inoculation against the novel coronavirus that’s spreading quickly in countries including the U.S., India and Mexico. President Donald Trump’s Warp Speed program has backed efforts at a number of companies, including Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co., Pfizer Inc., Moderna Inc. and AstraZeneca Plc, to get doses as early as possible.Operation Warp Speed seeks to compress a process that is typically years long into a matter of months. The drive is being led by General Gustave Perna, who directs the U.S. Army Materiel Command, and former GlaxoSmithKline Plc executive Moncef Slaoui.Spike ProteinThe funds will help Novavax begin a final-stage study of its vaccine candidate as early as this fall, with as many as 30,000 subjects, according to the statement.The biotech company earlier secured as much as $388 million in May from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, the single largest contribution from the organization at the time. The company’s vaccine candidate is meant to provoke the production of antibodies that block the “spike” protein the coronavirus uses to infect host cells.Separately, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. secured a $450 million award from the program under the auspices of the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA. The Tarrytown, N.Y.-based company will use the funds to scale up production of an antibody cocktail to prevent infection.Analysts are expecting results from Regeneron’s antibody program sometime in the third quarter. Novavax, which has yet to commercialize a medicine or vaccine, plans to report a first look at its results in patients later this month.Drug companies and university researchers are investigating more than 140 experimental inoculations, according to the World Health Organization. Moderna, Pfizer and the University of Oxford, working with AstraZeneca, are among the companies and institutions that have started studies of their vaccines in healthy patients.(Updates shares in third paragraph)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.
