Type 2 Diabetes | Unmet Need | US/EU | 2018
Because no current therapy for type 2 diabetes offers disease-modifying capabilities, a high unmet need exists for drugs that can effectively control the progression of this prevalent disease. The 2018 Type 2 Diabetes Unmet Need content focuses on leading branded agents and analysis of more available clinical data. Several currently marketed agents have scope to further move up the treatment algorithm. Therefore, understanding physicians’ perception of these products has become increasingly important. This study reveals which drug attributes drive endocrinologists’ prescribing behavior and explores how current therapies compare across efficacy, safety, and delivery attributes.
