--Related reports
R&D PRODUCTIVITY--Improving return on investment remains a key challenge in terms of R&D
--Increasing cost of R&D - Larger, longer, and more complex clinical trials drive up cost
- Clinical trial success rates could improve by using adaptive trials
--Decreasing R&D budgets - Big Pharma companies refocus their R&D pipeline in response to budget cuts
--Issues with clinical trial recruitment
--Collecting economic data in order to secure reimbursement approval is essential
--Regulatory changes have a largely negative impact on pharma R&D - Greater focus on pharmacovigilance
- US approval times could increase
- US post-marketing studies may soon need to be conducted under direct supervision
- Collaboration between the FDA and EMA is intensifying
--Replacing sales from expiring blockbuster drugs will be a challenge - The number of drug approvals increased in 2011
PHARMA'S RESPONSE--Pharma uses externalization to drive growth
--Pharma employs a range of external partnerships to boost R&D productivity
--Partnerships with universities - Pfizer adopts the ultimate "open innovation" approach to cherry pick early-stage compounds
--Venture capital investment - Sanofi targets early-stage research to stay ahead of the curve
--Licensing - Licensing deals are increasingly focusing on milestone payments to minimize financial risks
--Collaborations - Competitors become collaborators leading to the emergence of a novel combination therapies
--M&A - Premiums rise in line with competition for acquisition targets
- The line between licensing and M&A deals is blurring
--Re-organization - Re-organization of business operations is spurred by challenging times
- Bristol-Myers Squibb is divesting its ex-pharma units to increase operating margins and generate cash for a small acquisition
--Outsourcing - Big Pharma enter preferred provider deals to improve outsourcing efficiencies
--Spin-outs - GlaxoSmithKline readily turns to spin-outs in order to continue development of deprioritized projects
- Abbott spins-out its pharmaceutical business to create new business opportunities
CASE STUDY ANALYSIS OF CLINICAL R&D PIPELINES: 2007 VS. 2011--Strategies driving pharmaceutical sales growth out to 2016
--Big Pharma R&D strategies in response to sales forecasts - AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Sanofi, and Roche sales forecasts
- Roche, Sanofi, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca R&D strategies to drive future growth
- Indications with low unmet need are deprioritized
- Externalization has become the mainstay of R&D
--Roche has successfully overhauled its R&D strategy through numerous deals - Roche has successfully locked in one of the most lucrative pipelines ahead of competition
- Roche is re-entering the primary care markets through externally sourced drugs
- Roche pursues an aggressive strategy to bolster its specialty care segment
--Sanofi's diversification strategy is facilitated by its deal-making activity - Sanofi's vaccines division is crucial to its diversification strategy
- The acquisition of Genzyme has positioned Sanofi at the forefront of the orphan drug sector
- Sanofi's partnership with Regeneron is proving fruitful in terms of its oncology pipeline
--Pfizer's new launch revenues will be insufficient to drive future sales growth - Pfizer's acquisition of Wyeth boost its presence in the biologics and vaccines arena
- Pfizer expands its small molecule portfolio through acquiring King Pharmaceuticals
--AstraZeneca's clinical pipeline continues to suffer from late-stage woes - Cardiovascular research was deprioritized following several late-stage setbacks
- Oncology has become AstraZeneca's primary R&D focus
- Externally sourced drugs are key to AstraZeneca's strategy despite disappointing performances to date
