CHAPTER 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3
Scope of the analysis 3
Datamonitor insight into the HIV/HBV co-morbid market 4
Increased longevity and shared epidemiological risk raises the likelihood that HIV infected individuals will contract HBV. Whilst HBV has little impact on HIV, HIV renders HBV more aggressive and frequent with co-infected individuals eight times more likely to die of liver damage related mortality. 4
Datamonitor research reveals that concurrent early diagnosis of both disease HIV and HBV states is pivotal to increasing the life span of this co-morbid population. Effective treatment is currently hampered by poor patient compliance, HAART hepatoxicity and lack of comprehensive treatment guidelines. Strong regional variance with regard to HAART modification was also observed. 6
Lack of potency with current HBV therapeutics is an obvious gap in treating both mono and co-infected patients currently being addressed by companies such as Gilead and Idenix/Novartis. Gilead is committed to maximizing commercial opportunity with broad spectrum antiviral compounds meeting the needs of all HIV and HBV patient groups; 7
Increased global implementation of HBV vaccination will affect the dynamics of the HIV/HBV co-morbid population in both developed and developing regions. Commercial support of this initiative need not preclude a high volume/low cost business model for a new potent HBV antiviral. 8
