This document summarizes a presentation on strategies for boosting pharmaceutical innovation given by Kenneth Kaitin. It discusses the current challenging environment for drug development, including expiring patents, competitive markets, and high costs. Drug development times are long with low success rates, driving costs upwards. Oncology has become a major focus of R&D investment. The presentation proposes ways to stimulate innovation in areas of high medical need but low commercial appeal, such as through regulatory and legislative incentives.
