INC Research, Inc. Releases Paper on Latest Trends in Networked Drug Development

RALEIGH, NC--(Marketwire - March 28, 2011) - INC Research, LLC, a therapeutically focused contract research organization (CRO) with a trusted process for delivering reliable results, today announced it has released a new white paper entitled, “Win with Networked Drug Development Alliances: New Strategies to Increase Productivity and Mitigate Risk.” A sequel to its earlier white paper on clinical delivery alliances, INC Research’s new paper reviews the latest trends in strategic drug development partnerships and offers a proven approach to increasing pipeline productivity with less risk.

Large biopharms are caught between two powerful market forces: the pressure to maximize profits and the need for continual investment in their drug pipelines. For drug development executives, choosing which drugs to commercialize is all about trade-offs -- such as passing over numerous pre-clinical compounds to aggressively pursue the highest probability clinical trials, maximizing the likelihood of achieving near-term revenue and earnings needs. Executives know that letting go of promising compounds could mean missing their next big hit. This paper explores the challenges drug development executives face in maximizing the return of their drug pipeline and reveals the many benefits of networked drug development.

INC Research is at the forefront of creating a networked model in which sponsors, investors, CROs, and other service providers all work in strategic partnership to improve the speed, efficiency, and quality of drug development. Having created a team focused solely on structuring and managing successful alliance relationships, INC Research is uniquely positioned to build these partnerships by maintaining a robust network of therapeutically focused investors that understand the uniqueness of pharmaceutical investments. By building a networked drug development alliance, INC Research offers its clients access to outside R&D funding without disrupting existing programs.

The paper will also be available at this week’s Partnerships in Clinical Trials conference in Phoenix, Arizona at INC Research’s booth #501.
