Abstract
Introduction
The four major neurological diseases currently have no cures. Many
pharmaceuticals are available and are in development, but these drugs
typically address just the symptoms. Vast unmet need exists for medicines that
treat the early stages of neurological diseases. And, in turn, a huge
opportunity exists for companies that focus on innovation
Get the Answers You Need to Shape Your Strategy
There are more than a dozen major neurology franchises, and many companies
have had blockbuster success in this market. Yet the unmet need and resulting
opportunity in this market are staggering. What business strategies can
companies utilize to tap this wide-open market? Most medicines on the
market offer only symptomatic relief, and few new innovative drugs are in
development. What approaches can companies use to create drugs with
disease-modifying effects and to treat early-stage disease? Companies are
using many life-cycle management strategies to extend the market for existing
drugs. While these drugs are useful, they do little to build value for the
future. Why are so few products available for neurological diseases? What
explains the lack of innovation in this market? What strategies are companies
using to develop future neurology drug markets and franchises?
