Abstract
Overview
Introduction
Treatment of HIV has come a long way since the discovery of the virus.
Although no real cure has been found yet, the last few decades have seen the
introduction of many classes of drugs that suppress the replication of the
virus. As therapeutics have improved dramatically in terms of efficacy, safety
and convenience, the bar for new drugs has been raised considerably.
Scope
- In-depth analysis of Phase II and III clinical development compounds and
comprehensive overview of Phase I drugs
- Overview of the key companies involved in the HIV pipeline
- The epidemiology dynamics of HIV in the six major markets are discussed
along with unmet needs that have evolved from the prolonged use of HAART
- Sales forecasts over the next 10 years for the each of the late-stage drugs
Report Highlights
Class drug resistance represents a major problem for the NNRTIs. The two late
stage compounds, developed by Tibotec/J&J, address this issue. etravirine is
the more advanced of the two, but rilpivirine convenient dosing schedule makes
it the commercially more promising candidate.
New NRTIs in development have not generated much excitement in the HIV
community since most of these compounds, including Avexa' s apricitabine,
Achillion' s elvucitabine and Pharmasset' s Racivir. have only made slow
progress over the last few years.
Historically, emerging drug resistance may have signaled overall treatment
failure and hastened the onset of AIDS. While newer classes of drugs will
enable patients with complex drug resistance to continue with successful
antiretroviral therapy, exactly how they will be incorporated into traditional
HAART regimens remains unclear at this stage.
Reasons to Purchase
- Understand the constantly evolving market dynamics of antiretroviral drugs
- Understand the changing unmet needs of patients and the extent to which
pipeline drugs are addressing these issues
- Evaluate the forecast of key pipeline antiretroviral drugs to 2016, taking
into account key launch dates, adressing of unmet needs and other factors
