Getting Maximum Benefit from Combination Products
Decision Resources, Inc, May 2007, Pages: 40
Combination products are a lifeline in today’s pharmaceutical industry, but not all are created equal. Many companies use combinations late in the product life cycle to extend patent life or to maximize revenues, but more-successful combination product development addresses a market’s unmet need. Therefore, not all potential combination products will have equal value. We asked Decision Resources analysts to share their insights on combination products in various disease markets and integrated these insights into our analysis of the combination product market in this Spectrum Special Report.
