Type 2 Diabetes | Unmet Need | Injectables | US/EU
Because no current therapy for type 2 diabetes offers disease-modifying capabilities, there is high unmet need for drugs that can effectively control the disease. DRG’s Type 2 Diabetes Unmet Need 2017 focuses on injectable agents: insulins and GLP-1 receptor agonists. In DRG’s view, currently marketed injectables have scope to further move up the treatment algorithm. Therefore, understanding physicians’ perspectives on these products is increasingly important. In this content we reveal which drug attributes drive endocrinologists’ prescribing and explore how current injectables compare across efficacy, safety, and delivery attributes.
