Early Steps
1987-mid-90’s
The first of anti-H.I.V. drugs was AZT.
It and drugs like it were found to have
some impact on the virus but were
often defeated as the virus developed
resistance through mutations.
FINDING THE RIGHT
TREATMENT
The ‘Cocktail’
1996-present
Dr. David Ho introduced protease
inhibitors, which block a protein
necessary for HIV to reproduce. Used
in combination with drugs like AZT,
they proved more effective but required
a complex and often unsustainable
drug regimen.
1998-present: Good.

Combination Therapies
• Goal: improve compliance by combining drugs into
single pill
• Examples
– 3 drugs:
• tenofovir + emtricitabine (FTC) + efavirenz [ = Atripla]
• AZT + 3TC + abacavir [ = Trizivir]
• AZT + 3TC + tenofovir
– 2 drugs:
• AZT + 3TC [ = Combivir]
• tenofovir + emtricitibine [ = Truvada]
• abacavir + lamivudine [ = Epzicom]
• Next Combinations?

costs in relation to
therapeutic areas
‘..The most striking change
was in the cost of antiinfectives, which has risen
from 25% below average to
6% above average [between
1970-82 and 1997]. "This
increase in costs has been
driven largely, but not
exclusively, by HIV
treatments, which weren't
being developed in the
previous analysis," says
DiMasi….’

Industry Support of Healthcare System
Industry can play a role in
strengthening healthcare
systems in LDC’s…
• Research Infrastructure
Partnerships
• Technical Collaborations
• Support of pharmacovigilence
in the regions
• Registration and ‘effectiveness’
studies to further define value
of therapies in the region (HIV
clade variations)
• Infrastructure required for
diagnostic testing
• Optimization of healthcare
support for ART’s in LDC’s
• Potential for industry support of
wrap around services as
members of Public-Private
Partnerships
• Infectious Diseases Institute
Access: Distribution and Scale Up
• Forecasting of demand
– Matching availability of drug with healthcare
infrastructure to manage the supply
– Estimating the regulatory timelines
• Identification of manufacturing facilities
– Sometimes within the region
– Considerations: workforce; government policies towards
private investment; logistical practicalities
• Distribution mechanisms within the region
Access: REGISTRATION

•What is the best registration strategy for developing countries?
•For novel mechanisms, is Africa ready to accept a emerging
risk/benefit profile?
•Side effects to monitor? Opportunistic infection exposure?
•Are all drugs of equal value in LDC’s? How does one prioritize
registration efforts to match needs of the country?
Summary
• Current ART’s effective but further innovation of
dose, safety and efficacy desirable
• Drug development costs in HIV rising
• Developing world concentration of epidemic
presents unique challenges
