With two compounds in late-stage development for the treatment of nicotine dependence, it is evident that Sanofi-Aventis is keen to penetrate this market. Although possessing a similar mechanism of action to Chantix, the drug’s shorter treatment course than the market leader represents a strong competitive advantage.
