Tufts CSDD Outlook
Tufts CSDD’s Outlook, published each January, highlights near-term pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical development trends. Data and analyses contained in Tufts CSDD’s Outlook are based on proprietary research conducted by the Tufts CSDD staff, and include insights into current industry, regulatory, and policy trends. Tufts CSDD's Outlook is complimentary to Tufts CSDD Impact Report subscribers.
Here are the highlights of Tufts CSDD's Outlook 2012…
R&D Efficiency: To offset ever more costly and risky drug development—and remain competitive—drug developers will take aggressive steps to improve the management of the entire R&D process – from identifying potential products to structuring their development portfolios to teaming with others through all development phases.
Regulatory Environment: Regulatory agencies, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, will be challenged to balance their obligations to protect public health and safety while taking steps to help reduce approval bottlenecks – and do so on already tight budgets.
Biotechnology Trends: Personalized medicine and targeted therapeutics, a major R&D focus for many, if not most, biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms, will be a key driver of studies of small molecule drugs and biopharmaceuticals, especially anticancer agents, over the next decade.
Prescription Drug Policy: U.S. payers are expected to increasingly question whether the benefits of new cancer drugs are worth the cost, and will look to refine their reimbursement policies for personalized medicines.
Drug Development Management Trends: Drug developers will continue to streamline clinical trial protocols as part of an industrywide effort to reduce clinical costs and speed development, and will seek to engage with external partners to improve efficiency.
