CHMP Recommends Expanded Use of ISENTRESS, from MSD, in Adult Patients with HIV-1 Infection
Raltegravir, the first and only approved integrase inhibitor, is currently approved in more than 80 countries across six continents for use in combination with other ARV agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in treatment-experienced adult patients with evidence of HIV-1 replication despite ongoing ARV therapy. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved an expanded indication for raltegravir in combination with other antiretroviral medicines for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult patients that includes patients starting HIV therapy for the first time, as well as treatment-experienced patients. In markets outside the United States, the use of raltegravir in treatment-naive patients is investigational and not currently licensed in this patient group.
