Drug repositioning offers the possibility of breathing new life into
pharmaceutical R&D. By recycling drug data, repositioning promises to boost
production, accelerate and derisk R&D, and enhance product life-cycle
management.
The promise of drug repositioning is now driving Big Pharma and Biotech to
focus over 50% of its R&D activity into the approach. As the benefits of drug
repositioning are being realized by industry; it is vital that stakeholders
successfully navigate this challenging yet rewarding R&D paradigm.
This in-depth report delivers:
Analysis of the scientific and technological strategies driving drug
repositioning, successful business models, the role of Big Pharma and the
financial reward of strategic drug repositioning Identification of the major
challenges within strategic drug repositioning - examining the
proof-of-concept clinical trial, regulatory hurdles, intellectual property
barriers, selection of screening technologies and company organization
Clinical and commercial analysis of classic and recently-approved repositioned
products and key Phase III candidates
Report highlights:
With around 2,000 Phase II and Phase III failed pipeline candidates typically
sitting idle in a typical pharma drug library, drug repositioning may
resurrect abandoned R&D programs. Success will recoup R&D costs and provide
novel, high-value product life-cycle management.
