DHHS guidelines - clear recommendations for FUZEON use with boosted PIs
The importance of FUZEON in the management of HIV has been recognised by the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Their newly updated HIV/AIDS treatment guidelines support the use of FUZEON with an active boosted PI for the management of treatment experienced patients. The guidelines state that adding a drug with activity against drug-resistant virus (e.g. a boosted PI such as TMC114/r) and a drug with a new mechanism of action (e.g. an HIV entry inhibitor such as FUZEON) can provide significant antiretroviral activity.
These data come at a pivotal time as Tibotec has launched this month an international expanded access programme for TMC114/r. This will enable patients that are rapidly running out of new treatment options early access to this investigational agent, which has been seen to be highly promising when used in combination with FUZEON.
Growing Body of Evidence, RESIST 1&2 / POWER 1&2 / TORO 1&2 - Collectively the data from all six studies, in over 2,500 patients, establish a new paradigm in the management of triple class-experienced patients.
