CRO Snapshot: Clinical Outsourcing in 2012

By any standards, last year was a turbulent one for the pharmaceutical sector. The patent cliff claimed some of the industry’s most profitable properties and with the market share of these drugs losing ground to generics, put even more pressure on the top- and bottom-line performance of key players such as Eli Lilly and AstraZeneca, to name just two of the worst hit.

Such pressure – and the drive to cut fixed costs that goes with it – has been a boon for clinical CROs, which have become increasingly indispensable to the business of drug discovery, as clinical development is outsourced and specialist units, such as clinical laboratories, are offloaded to CROs in long-term guaranteed strategic partnerships.

$2,995.00

The first antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), Mylotarg, reached the market almost two decades ago. Since this time, the ADC field has undergone slow but transformative enhancements, with improvements to technologies and advancements in the pipeline leading to an invigoration of the field. The past couple of years have seen the approvals of three new ADCs: Polivy, Lumoxiti, and Besponsa, increasing the total number of ADCs approved by regulators worldwide to six. These approvals mark the start of a new era in which the ADC field is finally beginning to realize its full potential. With the ADC pipeline swelling to around 250 novel candidates in various stages of preclinical and clinical development, approvals for more ADCs appear firmly on the horizon.
