About Monogram's Assays

As recommended by the U.S. FDA Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee, biopharmaceutical companies use HIV resistance testing technology to support and enhance next-generation HIV drug development. Monogram's proprietary technology is being applied to new HIV drug targets for screening and in subsequent clinical development programs for optimization of background therapy, patient monitoring and, in the case of CCR5 antagonists, for patient selection. Monogram is a leader in providing drug susceptibility and tropism assays for pharmaceutical development. PhenoSense GT(TM) is the only assay combining actual phenotype and genotype drug results in a single report. PhenoSense GT also includes a measure of replication capacity (RC), sometimes called viral fitness, and HIV-1 subtype. PhenoSense Entry(TM) is the only commercially available phenotypic test for measuring susceptibility to entry inhibitors. Similarly, PhenoSense Integrase(TM), which is a phenotypic test for measuring susceptibility to integrase inhibitors, is expected to be introduced commercially soon. Trofile(TM) is a patient selection co-receptor tropism assay that determines whether a patient is infected with a strain of HIV that uses the CCR5 co-receptor, the CXCR4 co-receptor, or a combination of CCR5 and C
