Solution
Phase based active versus close analysis
For analysis, drug development was divided in to four phases: preclinical, Phase I, Phase II-a, and Phase II-b. For each of these phases, projects were classified as ‘active’, ‘closed’, or ‘successful’. We compared the success rates for our projects to pharmaceutical industry benchmarks through root cause analysis for top factors impacting the targets, safety margins and pharmacology risks.
Impact
Extensive visibility on the various project success determinants
The client achieved extensive visibility on the various determinants responsible for project success. We also provided phase-wise success and failure factors to the client which helped them create an action plan for greater success. This also helped them in the identification of the most responsive patient population and determination of risk-benefits outcomes.
