the Failure in the pharma industry has a lot to answer for: an astonishing 75% of drug research and
development budgets is whittled away on unsuccessful candidates and drug failures, the
safety-efficacy majority of which are due to lack of clinical efficacy and safety. With the cost to bring a new drug
to market now approaching a vertiginous $900 million, that’s a lot of money to whittle away.
challenge What is more, despite the billions spent on toxicity and seemingly exhaustive testing, post-launch
withdrawal of compounds due to adverse side-effects still occurs. The need to address
safety-efficacy issues has never been greater and the future sustainability of pharmaceutical
therapeutics will depend on the ability of pharma companies to take up the challenge.
the high price of failure*
• 10% of drugs entering Phase I trials reach market registration
• 62% of compounds entering Phase II trials fail
• 45% of compounds entering Phase III trials fail
• 30% of attrition due to lack of efficacy & failure to deliver clinical benefits
• 30% of attrition due to toxicology issues & clinical safety failures
the challenge of change
• more complex diseases with high unmet medical needs
• novel mechanisms of action more likely to lead to failure
• unprecedented targets more likely to lead to failure
• increasingly agressive regulatory requirements
• growing demand to demonstrate clinical efficacy (better, earlier...)
• translational medicine & personalised medicine approaches
• dwindling resources, increasing complexity & escalating risk
• changing business model & shifting paradigms
biomarker biomarkers: the key to drug success
Rising to today’s industry challenges calls for disruptive thinking and a new mindset. It demands
solutions for new approaches and new solutions. A CRO and biomarker solutions provider, Biovays offers you
specialist knowledge, innovative approaches and cost-cutting solutions for your drug research
drug success and development projects. We propose biomarker services « à la carte » and design solutions to
best answer your needs.
‘‘Several different approaches are being pursued across the pharmaceutical industry to reduce the
high attrition rates. One of these approaches is to identify biomarkers that are predictive of safety and
efficacy and can be used in early clinical trials to build confidence that the molecule is engaging the
intended target and is therefore worth investing more resources on.’’ **
• improving discovery & preclinical research better-prepared clinical trials
• improving early clinical development better chance of clinical success
• improving drug portfolio management producing better, faster, cheaper
biomarkers: the key to proof-of-concept clinical trials
The specificity and predictive value of immunohistologically-defined protein biomarkers lie
at the heart of Biovays service offering. The virtues of biomarkers as early indicators of drug
function and response constitute the extra value added of our biomarker services whereby
proof-of-concept may be determined early, rapidly and at relative low cost. Biomarkers
determining pharmacodynamic, efficacy and safety parameters offer the pharma industry
innovative and pragmatic solutions for the design of successful proof-of-concept clinical trials.
