By Jason Derry --
Nature Reviews Drug Discovery has published an article relating to
potential pitfalls associated with licensing deals between pharmaceutical
companies and biotechnology companies. In particular, the authors discuss the financial considerations of
trying to in-license a biotech product in the early stages of clinical
development. The article reviews
strategies that biotech and big pharmaceutical companies should consider when
thinking about licensing biotech products that have not entered late stage
(e.g., Phase II or III clinical trials) development.
