Product Development Planning
The average cost to develop a drug from the screening process to market approval is estimated to be between 800 million and one billion USD. Approximately 75% of the overall cost of global drug development is consumed on products that fail. In addition, the time to market is approximately 10-12 years, with the majority of this time spent in the clinical development phase. Despite a larger understanding of numerous disease mechanisms, advances in technology, and regulatory initiatives, the number of new therapeutics reaching the market has not increased substantially over the past 10 years. Forty percent of potential lead candidates that enter into clinical development fail in the early phases. This significantly impacts the biotechnology sector where significant interest lies in early clinical phase partnership strategies. Furthermore, success in phase III studies has also decreased. Taken together, these factors have led to increased cost of development and a lengthening of the development process. It is therefore of high utility to employ strategic methodologies that are aimed at improving the success rate, shorten the development times, and decrease R&D spend.
Product Development Planning
Product Planning is critical to any organization, and a well-conceived and comprehensive Product Development Plan can provide a detailed assessment of your product and the most effective pathway to market or licensure. Allphase offers expert advice on issues important to future approval or partnership attraction for biotech products. We have expertise in providing qualified input for the planning and execution of the appropriate non-clinical and clinical studies. The benefit of our experience and input at these early stages has been realized by numerous clients with significant value being added to the project.
