13Trends 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

14The Times They Are a-changin you better start
swimming or youll sink like a stone
Greenberg, DIA Global Forum, Feb 2012
15Pressures 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
16Commercialization 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
17RD Operating Conditions
- Lower success rates
- Declining levels of innovation
- Increase in biologics and biosimilars
- Rapidly rising RD costs, and outsourcing demand
- Regulatory conservatism
18Trends 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
