PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY) has successfully resolved all outstanding U.S. patent litigation relating to efavirenz, an active ingredient contained in our Sustiva (efavirenz) and Atripla (efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) products. Accordingly, we believe that loss of exclusivity in the U.S. for efavirenz should not occur until December 2017.
Bristol-Myers Squibb remains committed to delivering our medicines and to developing new and innovative treatments to help patients prevail over serious disease. Atripla is currently the #1 prescribed U.S. regimen in its category, with over 8 million prescriptions written since its launch in 2006. Earlier this year the company submitted a new drug application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a fixed-dose combination of atazanavir sulfate and cobicistat, an investigational pharmacokinetic enhancer. In addition, studies are ongoing for new treatments including an HIV-1 attachment inhibitor (BMS-663068), an HIV-1 maturation inhibitor (BMS-955176) and an anti-PD-L1 (BMS-936559).
