1. Merck announced successful Phase 3 trial data on Doravirine/Islatravir. 2. This HIV treatment demonstrates potential for maintaining viral suppression.
Positive trial results could enhance Merck's revenue streams in the HIV market, similar to previous successful launches like Keytruda, which significantly boosted MRK's sales and share prices.
