paradigm - Transforming the pharmaceutical business model
- Wave 1 Drug discovery and development
- Wave 2 Health services delivery and financing
- Wave 3 Revenues
- Workshop
- Bringing it all together
- Workshop feedback
- Challenges for marketing research and business
intelligence
4Opportunity defined
The search for a new paradigm
- Pharma is facing a deepening productivity crisis
- Investing more in current business practices
will not - overcome this crisis a new paradigm is
required - Genomics is a disruptive technology with the
potential - to transform the pharmaceutical business model
5Opportunity defined RD productivity must
increase if companies are to meet investors
growth expectations
No. products x Revenue potential
RD productivity
?
Time x Investment
6Opportunity defined Investing more in current
business practices will not overcome the
productivity crisis. A new paradigm is required
- No significant economies of scale in RD
activities - Quality of pipeline linear to investment in RD
- Merging to increase absolute RD investment will
not improve profit margins - Size is not a competitive advantage
The commercial value of leading companies late
stage pipelines is directly proportional to their
RD spend
7Opportunity defined Genomics enables us to
understand disease at a molecular level. The race
is on to turn this new knowledge into profits, to
get the right target for the right drug to the
right patient

9Transforming the pharmaceutical business model
Wave 1 Impact of genomics on RD
- Post-genomics, attrition, and hence portfolio
management - decisions, will move upstream
- Time and cost to market will increase before RD
- productivity improves over the longer term
- Pharma must offer more than money to remain
biotechs - partner of choice
10Impact on output With a significant rise in the
number and novelty of targets, earlier go/no go
decisions are needed to prioritize the most
commercially attractive and check spiraling costs
11Impact on time and costs Time and cost to market
will increase before productivity benefits flow
through the value chain

13Transforming the pharmaceutical business model
Wave 2 Impact of genomics on health services
delivery and financing
- Todays uniformity of treatment practices must
evolve to - embrace heterogeneity in patients and care
- Physicians require re-education to meet
patients - expectations of a customized health service
- Insurers must develop new risk management and
pricing - models, and new insurance products

15Transforming the pharmaceutical business model
Wave 3 Impact of genomics on revenues
- Pharmacogenomics will expand the overall Rx
market by - improving efficacy and expanding the treated
population -
- Declining demand for bulk Rx will be replaced by
rising - sales of premium-priced customized Rx
- Multi-busters targeting a range of genotypes
will begin to - supersede many of todays blockbusters
16Impact on revenues Overall, genomics will expand
the global pharmaceutical market
So much for total market growth, what about
individual drug sales?
17Impact on revenues Lower average drug revenues
will be off-set by improved and more
cost-effective targeting of patients and
physicians, so profit margin growth will be
sustained
- DRIVERS
- Targeting smaller markets will be more
cost-effective - Penetration rate increases as PGx makes it easier
to identify target - Being 2nd, 3rd or 4th to market need not be a
disadvantage - PGx is a potent marketing and reimbursement tool
- RESISTORS
- Average drug revenues will decline as genetic
diagnostics enable smaller markets to be targeted
and treated with greater efficacy
Profit margin growth sustained
18Impact on revenues Many traditional
best-in-class blockbusters will be superseded by
best-in-segment blockbusters or multi-busters

22Workshop 1
Competitive benchmarking of genomics-related
activity
23Background
- What constitutes a competitive advantage in the
genomics arena is not yet clear but it is a must
have in pharmaceutical RD - Genomics accounts for 8 of all current RD
expenditure - Certain companies are spending as much as 20 of
their RD budgets on external alliances - Investment risks may be high but the opportunity
costs of delayed or inappropriate investment are
higher - Brief
- Design a research plan to benchmark your
companys capabilities, investment, integration
and partnerships in genomics throughout the value
chain - Assuming that your current position is
sub-optimal, recommend appropriate strategic
responses as the basis of further market research
24Framework for discussion
- Discussions should consider, but need not be
limited to, the following - What are the issues surrounding your brief?
- Who are your internal clients for this project?
- What information will they need to make a
decision or understand the issue in greater
depth? - Which benchmarking parameters are most
appropriate? - How will you define your competitive environment?
- Which research techniques are most appropriate?
- What information do you have in-house and what do
you need to outsource? - How will you analyze the information?
- How will you communicate your findings?
25Workshop 2
Informing portfolio reviews with pharmacogenomics
data
26Background
- Pharmacogenomics has the potential to eliminate
unsuitable candidates and targets at early and
less costly stages of development - Following pharmacogenomic studies in phase II
clinical trials, your company now has multiple
compounds that have displayed safety and efficacy
in certain population segments - Brief
- Devise a framework to help management
systematically evaluate the relative
cost-benefits of continuing to develop and then
market these compounds
27Framework for discussion
- Discussions should consider, but need not be
limited to, the following - What are the issues surrounding your brief?
- Who are your internal clients for this project?
- What information will they need to make a
decision or understand the issue in greater
depth? - Which research techniques are most appropriate?
- What information do you have in-house and what do
you need to outsource? - How will you analyze the information?
- How will you communicate your findings?
- How can marketing research inform the continued
development of prioritized projects? - What are the major differences between current
go/no go decision processes and those which, in
the future, will incorporate pharmacogenomics
data?
28Workshop 3
Sizing the potential of customized Rx markets
29Background
- Your company currently markets an asthma drug,
EasyBreathe, that generates annual sales of 600m - Pharmacogenomic markers of disease biology have
been identified - Phase IV pharmacogenomics trials reveal that only
40 of patients currently using EasyBreathe are
high responders, while 25 and 35 are low and
non-responders, respectively - Brief
- Design a research plan to assess the implications
of this for sales of EasyBreathe under two
scenarios - If it is best-in-segment
- If it is no longer best-in-segment
- As the basis of further market research,
recommend appropriate strategic responses to each
scenario to optimize EasyBreathes sales
30Framework for discussion
- Discussions should consider, but need not be
limited to, the following - What are the issues surrounding your brief?
- Who are your internal clients for this project?
- What information will they need to make a
decision or understand the issue in greater
depth? - Which research techniques are most appropriate?
- What information do you have in-house and what do
you need to outsource? - How will you analyze the information?
- What are the key drivers of EasyBreathes current
sales? - In each scenario, which drivers of sales will be
changed by pharmacogenomics trial results and
how? - What actions can be taken to optimize the drugs
commercial potential under both scenarios? - Design a timeline to ensure that all data are
available at the required time - How will you communicate your findings?
- What are the major differences between current
market forecasting processes and those required
by a genomics-driven business model?
31Workshop 4
Marketing personalized medicines to patients
32Background
- Patients will be the dominant force in the
micro-segmented markets that typify the
genomics-driven business model - One size fits all marketing will be a
non-starter - Novel techniques will be required to raise
awareness and understanding of genetic testing
and gene-based therapy, and to build life-long
relationships with targeted patients - Brief
- Devise a research plan to help management assess
the likely impact of pharmacogenomics on
patient-focused marketing strategies - As the basis of further market research,
recommend appropriate strategic responses
33Framework for discussion
- Discussions should consider, but need not be
limited to, the following - What are the issues surrounding your brief?
- Who are your internal clients for this project?
- What information will they need to make a
decision or understand the issue in greater
depth? - Which research techniques are most appropriate?
- What information do you have in-house and what do
you need to outsource? - How will you analyze the information?
- How will you communicate your findings?
- What is the likely impact on behavior of patients
knowing more about their disease susceptibility? - Will payers encourage patients to seek genetic
screening? - What are the major differences between current
patient-focused marketing practices and those
required by a genomics-driven business model?
E.g. - Impact on marketing costs and return on
investment - Impact on marketing mix
- Impact on marketing message
34Bringing it all together
Challenges for marketing research and business
