 Well, this long anticipated acquisition by Gilead, the maker of tenofovir, of Triangle, a smaller company that produces FTC (a 3TC like drug), will almost certainly result in the development of a co-formulation of tenofovir and FTC. This would be a once daily pill containing these 2 medications and would be a clear alternative to Combivir (AZT + 3TC). In addition, both companies have an interest in hepatits B therapies (tenofovir and FTC are active against hep B). I think this is a positive move and look forward to seeing what Gilead will do.
