NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In the last few years the emergence of new targeted therapies such as AbbVie's/Janssen's kinase inhibitor Imbruvica (ibrutinib) and Gilead's P13K inhibitor Zydelig (idelalisib) have delivered effective therapies to previously underserved markets. Yet the arrival of AbbVie's/Roche's venetoclax looks to be a further game changer with its ability to induce complete remissions within a fixed treatment window. What impact will this new therapy have on the competitive landscape? How might it change the treatment paradigm and how do KOLs see it changing clinical practice?
This comprehensive report reveals critical insights from 12 leading North American and European KOLs – see who they are. Find outhow they view the clinical benefits of current and late stage products, potential drug combinations, and the patient's condition state and financial concerns that determine therapy choice.

Answering key questions
With biosimilar rituximab on the horizon, can Roche successfully protect Rituxan/MabThera revenues, and if so, how?
