Getting Beyond the Transactional Drug Development Approach

The venture capital model of funding drug development is probably familiar to many of your clients. As companies raise funds they often perform an initial study or small series of studies and then continue as more funding is acquired – potentially with various outsourcing vendors. This transactional, study-by-study approach may seem like their only option; however, it can be extremely costly and time-intensive resulting in:
  • Loss of historical knowledge or duplication of effort
  • Delay between studies and nonclinical and clinical phases
  • Data loss or misinterpretation – having to coordinate data from multiple vendors  
  • Increased cost and time spent managing nonscientific logistics - evaluating, selecting, negotiating, contracting, MSAs, etc. 
Furthermore, today’s marketplace is more competitive and development partners seeking licensing or
co-development agreements are requiring regulatory approval, Phase I and preliminary proof of concept data before considering novel molecules. The desired target milestone is to progress quickly through the IND/CTA and first in human (FIH) trial.
