Decision Resources (Waltham, MA), one of the world's leading research and advisory firms for pharmaceutical and healthcare issues, said that, because of their improvements in safety and efficacy, physicians are increasingly prescribing next-generation antifungals such as Pfizer's Vfend, Schering-Plough's Noxafil, Merck's Cancidas, Astellas' Mycamine and Pfizer's Eraxis. The letter stated that a representative offered to send attendees at the ASCO meeting information about off-label use for Cancidas (caspofungin acetate) and that receipt of the information showed the firm intended the product to be applied in unapproved uses.
