Partnering as effective strategy to bring new drugs to European market

dinsdag 18 november 2014 14:00

Combining strengths in drug discovery and development by partnering with a medium- or large-sized pharmaceutical company increases the likelihood of success in bringing new products to the market for small companies. The drugs of small companies taken over by a medium or large pharmaceutical company, were more often approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for marketing approval than the proprietary drugs from small companies. This was the outcome of a study conducted by Utrecht University, RIVM and the Central Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects (CCMO).
