The need to produce novel drugs faster and more cheaply has put biopharma under intense pressure to innovate, despite rising costs and high risks. As R&D spend rises year on year, limited growth in the number of marketed drugs threatens to deepen the productivity crisis.Our new report; Winning R&D Productivity Strategies provides in-depth analysis of current issues affecting R&D, with assessment of challenges to productivity including, rising costs of drug development, attrition rates and clinical development times. This report analyzes solutions already being implemented to boost productivity and how these are evolving. In addition, it outlines key best practices to improve productivity and reduce R&D costs.Use this report to identify key areas of growth, effective strategies and innovative technologies to improve lead generation, attrition rates and return on investment from your portfolio.Key questions answered • India is forecast to be the most attractive country for outsourcing by 60% of industry executives. • What is the current state of R&D in biopharma and what arethe future challenges and opportunities for R&D? • What are the most effective strategies to implement to addressthe rising costs of R&D and which companies have achieved this? • How can innovative technologies, project and portfoliomanagement and licensing and partnerships be implementedto reduce development times and improve the flow of drugcandidates? • What does the industry think of the future of R&D productivityand which strategies do they view as most attractive?Key findings*The largest share of the R&D spend by PhRMA members is in Phase III and prehuman/preclinical trials, and over 20% of drug failures in drug development have been attributed to toxicity concerns.*Target validation is predicted to be the main focus of licensing deals by pharma in the next 3 years.*The application of genomic technologies, such as biomarkers, offers the opportunity to save up to 34% of R&D costs.*80% of industry executives believe that multi-product licensing deals are set to increase over the next 5 years.*India is forecast to be the most attractive country for outsourcing by 60% of industry executives.Hot issues covered in this report*Licensing deals are increasing in complexity and value.The average value of deals have also increased over the last fewyears as indicated by $194m increase in average value of the top10 pharmaceutical company licensing deals from 2001 to 2005.*The move towards the networked pharma model.Biopharma are looking to exploit the flexible networked pharmamodel, which allows companies to gain benefits of a global scalepharma while keeping resources at a minimum and sharing risk.*Emergence of innovative technologies.The vast range of technologies acts an opportunity to improvedevelopment times, attrition rates and end product price. The useof pharmacogenomics and biomarkers is set to rapidly increaseand have a huge long term potential in drug discovery.*Increased clinical development times.Development times have increased over the last decade, which islargely due to drugs becoming more innovative and subsequentlyrequiring more testing and developing compared to less noveldrugs with familiar mechanisms of action.Top five reasons to order your copy today • Identify strategies implemented by the biopharma industry todecrease R&D costs and increase productivity, and assess keytrends and novel approaches to outsourcing and resourcemanagement which enable company re-structure andmaximization of in-house resources. • Assess key technology providers and establish whichtechnologies should be implemented at various stages of theR&D process, enabling you to enhance productivity levels andgain a competitive edge. • Benchmark your performance monitoring process, enabling youto choose the most appropriate markers to measure your owncompany productivity and assess your position within the industry. • Develop innovative future strategies by utilizing the report’sanalysis of successful project and portfolio, licensing andpartnership and resource management strategies by companiesincluding Wyeth, GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca. • Anticipate future trends in the market, by using the report’spredictions for areas of growth and gain insights into the outlookfor innovative technologies in the R&D process. |
