Merck may be self-interested, but they have a point. There isn't that much data to base conclusions on, only indications. Merck is taking a conservative position. Agouron has a small data set and is extrapolating. The question, "Is Nelfinovir different?" in terms of cross resistance, may not be answered for another year (in Geneva). In the meantime, doctors and patients will be left to make decisions based on marketing preferences, PR, and willingness to risk a new therapy. It would be nice to get an early resolution of the question, but it may not be possible for a year.
