Finally, Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD), ended its last trade with 3.30% gain, and closed at $101.64.
Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD) declared that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of Letairis® (ambrisentan) in combination with tadalafil for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (WHO Group 1) to reduce the risks of disease progression and hospitalization for worsening PAH, and to improve exercise ability. Letairis is an endothelin receptor antagonist that was first approved in 2007 in the U.S. as monotherapy for PAH to improve exercise ability and delay clinical worsening. Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor that was initially approved for PAH in the U.S. in 2009 to improve exercise ability.
The new labeling is supported by data from the AMBITION study (a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study of first-line combination therapy with AMBrIsentan and Tadalafil in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertensION). In AMBITION, 605 patients with WHO Functional Class II or III PAH were randomized (2:1:1) to receive once-daily Letairis plus tadalafil (n=302) or to Letairis (n=152) or tadalafil (n=151) alone. Treatment was initiated with Letairis 5 mg and tadalafil at 20 mg. If tolerated, tadalafil was raised to 40 mg at four weeks and Letairis was raised to 10 mg at eight weeks. The primary endpoint was time to first occurrence of death, hospitalization for worsening PAH, greater than 15 percent decrease from baseline in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) combined with WHO Functional Class III or IV symptoms sustained over 14 days (short-term clinical worsening) or reduction in 6MWD sustained over 14 days combined with WHO Functional Class III or IV symptoms sustained over 6 months (inadequate long-term clinical response).
In the study, combination therapy with Letairis and tadalafil demonstrated superiority in reducing the risk of the composite primary endpoint by 49 percent and 45 percent, respectively, as compared to monotherapy with Letairis (hazard ratio = 0.51; 95 percent CI: 0.35, 0.73; p=0.0002) or tadalafil (hazard ratio = 0.55; 95 percent CI: 0.37, 0.81; p=0.002). Overall, 20 percent of patients receiving combination therapy practiced a primary endpoint event contrast to 35 percent and 30 percent, respectively, in patients receiving Letairis or tadalafil.
