Achieving a balanced portfolio in terms of new product development, lifecycle
management and business development and licensing is key to reducing risk and
growing franchise sales. With patent expiry of key blockbuster drugs
approaching lifecycle management is very popular but over reliance on this
approach can damage long-term prospects
Niche and specialty therapies are gaining ground over primary care portfolios,
but growing competition and a tougher pricing and reimbursement environment do
not make this an easy direction to follow
Payers have greater power than ever, and are increasingly influencing
physicians' treatment choices. Therefore, pricing and reimbursement analysis
needs to be incorporated into portfolio revision process as early as possible
in drug development.
