Discovery by Gilead Disputed

I believe that it was actually NeXstar (founded by Larry Gold and Craig Tuerk) was the original discoverer. As Gilead didn't acquire NeXstar until 1999 -- a decade after Gold and Tuerk's work -- they shouldn't be credited.

Strange results from 2 'identical' phase 3 trials

It says the two phase 3 studies were identical but the 2nd year results are very different. What explanations have been given ? - Rod57 (talk) 09:11, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
