Recently released market study: Pipeline Insight: HIV - The Age of Convenience

Dec. 12, 2009 - PRLog -- Three new partnerships are reshaping the competitive environment in HIV. Most notably, Tibotec/Johnson & Johnson is linking up with Gilead to combine their Phase III drug rilpivirine with Truvada to create a new gold standard fixed dose combination for treatment-naïve patients. Addressing Atripla's shortcomings, Datamonitor expects this product to dominate the market.

Scope

* In-depth analysis of Phase II and III clinical development compounds and comprehensive overview of Phase I drugs
* An overview of the key companies involved in the HIV pipeline, including an analysis of the new corporate alliances
* 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

Highlights

Advances in antiretroviral therapy have addressed the two big unmet medical needs, resistance and safety. Convenience is the new frontier, pointing towards a bright future for cross-class fixed-dose combination, notably Gilead's Quad Pill and Gilead's and Johnson & Johnson's Truvada/rilpivirine combination.

Gilead's two new cross-class fixed dose combinations offer only moderate medical progress, but their added convenience compared with single ingredient formulations will cement the company's market leadership and reduce the market opportunity for single-ingredient formulations.

Abbott's monopoly in protease inhibitor boosting agents is nearing its end. At least three companies have pharmacokinetic enhancers with potentially improved safety profiles in clinical development, hopefully enabling the creation of more co-formulated brands
