R&D Cost Drivers
 Chronic and complex indications
 Clinical trial size
 Protocol design complexity
 Patient recruitment/retention
 High cost discovery/research tools
 Regulatory demands
 Market oriented studies
 Late-stage attrition

Trends in the Phase I Market
 Heightened safety concerns
 Emphasis on hospital and in-patient settings
 Shift to US and Canada for time and cost
advantages post EU-Directive
 Increasing proportion of patients vs. NHV
 Modified and combination protocol designs
 Transfer operating risk to CROs
 Growing entry by for-profit, community-based
investigative sites

Pressures in Clinical Research
 Off shoring clinical trials
 Transfer operating risk to CROs & partnering with
AMCs
 Personalized medicine – fad or future?
 Advances in genomics, proteomics, biomarkers,
imaging, diseases models, bioinformatics, etc.
 Regulatory and social pressures on safety for longer
term studies
 Public discontent with Pharma
15
Commercialization Conditions
 Economic crunch on Pharma productivity
 Consolidation of Pharma companies
 Restrictive price controls
 Healthcare reform uncertainty and its adverse
impact
 Depressed traditional markets & growing
emerging markets
 Patent cliff and revenue at risk
16
R&D Operating Conditions
 Lower success rates
 Declining levels of innovation
 Increase in biologics and biosimilars
 Rapidly rising R&D costs, and outsourcing
demand
 Regulatory conservatism
17
Trends in the Phase I Market
 CPUs from Pharma owned and operated to CROs
 Heightened safety concerns
 Emphasis on hospital and in-patient settings
 Shift to US and Canada for time and cost advantages
post EU Directive
 Increasing proportion of patients vs. NHV
 Combination protocol designs, incl SAD/MAD/POC
& adaptive designs
 Growing role of community-based investigative sites
