Decision context
PopulationAdult patients with CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection (treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced) identified by tropism testing, with CD4 count less than 500 per cubic millimetre or symptomatic HIV-1 disease for initial treatment.
Risk sharingGenotypic tropism testing was funded for treatment experienced patients in Australia by the sponsor under a risk-share agreement at time of submission.

Label narrower than PBS population — PBAC restricts to patients with specific prior treatment failures (3 regimens including NNRTI, NRTI, PIs); TGA label has no such requirement.
