Half of Surveyed Physicians Expect to Replace Between 6 Percent and 15 Percent of Their Sustiva Prescriptions with Isentress

Date:8/26/2008

ropism test for HIV patients to be a critical deterrent to prescribing CCR5 antagonist drugs.

"It is highly likely that all subsequent members of the CCR5 antagonist drug class will necessitate a tropism test prior to prescribing," said Sylvia Eash, Ph.D., analyst at Decision Resources. "To expand the use of their drugs and overcome this substantial hurdle to wider uptake, marketers of CCR5 antagonist drugs should actively support the development of a low cost test that delivers fast and accurate results."

Novel HIV Therapies: Physician and Payer Perspective on Recently Launched and Emerging Antiretrovirals is based on a U.S. survey of 103 infectious disease specialists and 20 MCO pharmacy directors. Their responses were compared to assess similarities and differences of opinion regarding clinical, economic and scientific factors.
