ELVITÉGRAVIR (EVG)
En juillet 2011, le Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) a signé un accord de licence avec Gilead Sciences pour la production d’elvitégravir (EVG) et des combinaisons contenant de l’elvitégravir. L’accord permet la fabrication générique d’EVG dans au moins 100 pays.
Au mois de juin 2015, les deux parties ont modifié le contrat pour permettre aux fabricants de Chine et d’Afrique du Sud de produire l’EVG.
En septembre 2017, les deux organisations ont amendé l’accord afin d’étendre sa portée géographique à 109 pays qui abritent au total 88.4% des personnes vivant avec le VIH dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire
