Start at the End: Thinking Commercial during Discovery and Development

When your product launches 5, 8 or 10 years from now, what do you intend the label to read? You cannot make any commercial claim if it is not scientifically proven and written in the label. As early as discovery and throughout development, entrepreneurs and startups would do well to keep their end-goal in mind.

What is the exact target population, indication and formulation? Which benefits, risks and tolerability concerns are acceptable? What are unique selling points compared to competitors? And who is going to pay?

During this session, hosted by Johnson and Johnson, speakers discuss their views on the importance of ascertaining early how health interventions will potentially add value in the future marketplace. Developers need to consider all the stakeholders — Patients, Partners, Prescribers and Payers. Having a clear picture could help guide business decisions and business development opportunities.
