MARKET OUTLOOK
Generic antibiotics continue to dominate the hospital-treated gram-negative infection (GNI) therapy market. Most inpatients are successfully treated empirically with these agents, making it difficult for branded products like Merck & Co.’s Zerbaxa, Allergan’s Avycaz, and Melinta’s Vabomere to gain uptake in earlier lines of therapy. However, rising antimicrobial resistance rates have created the need for safer products to effectively treat drug-resistant GNIs, and, as our primary market research shows, activity against key drug-resistant pathogens is an important driver of brand use. Furthermore, hospital-based infectious disease (ID) specialists report shifts in their approach to treating GNIs in response to the climbing rates of drug resistance.
