Abstract

The present invention provides novel crystalline forms of tenofovir alafenamide comprising tenofovir alafenamide and two different pharmaceutically acceptable acids, compositions and processes for the preparation thereof, and their use in the treatment of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or a hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

Claims (24)

1. A crystalline form of tenofovir alafenamide succinate fumarate comprising tenofovir alafenamide, succinic acid, and fumaric acid.
