Reportlinker Adds R&D Trends: HIV - An active pipeline faces fierce competition in the HIV market
NEW YORK, April 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
R&D Trends: HIV - An active pipeline faces fierce competition in the HIV market
Introduction
Although there are a number of novel approaches in early-stage development for HIV, fierce competition is thinning out the late-stage pipeline. Novel treatment approaches, biomedical HIV prevention and genetic profiling could diversify an HIV market currently dominated by a one-pill once-daily regimen.
Features and benefits
* Overview of the HIV late-and early-stage pipeline and potential drug targets.
* Examination of innovative treatment approaches, such as vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and gene therapy
* Identification of the target product profile for novel HIV treatments
* Discussion of the future of HIV treatment and trends towards personalized HAART
Highlights
Datamonitor believes that the foreseeable future of HIV treatment will be defined by earlier treatment initiation, further progress in the field of pre-exposure prophylaxis and a HIV market driven by convenience and patients' individual preferences
Monoclonal antibodies and gene treatments are among the most innovative approaches in the HIV pipeline. Progenics' Pro-140 recently entered Phase IIb clinical trials, making it the furthest advanced monoclonal antibody against HIV. In contrast, novel gene therapies deliver first promising results, but are still in very early stages of development
The majority of pipeline drugs can be classified according to the historical HIV drug classes, but several innovative treatment approaches promise to extend future HIV treatment options
Your key questions answered
* Understand current trends in HIV drug development and HIV prevention and learn about key factors set to shape the field in the future
* Understand challenges, unmet needs and future opportunities by learning about the views of HIV key opinion leaders
* Review the late- and early-stage HIV pipeline and explore innovative approaches in HIV treatment
