Pharmaceutical Industry Confronts a Serious Financial Challenge
[PRWEB Feb 9, 2006]

4th Annual Generic Drug Forum - Future Trends in the Generic Drug Industry
4th Annual Generic Drug ForumApril 6-7, 2006 | Washington, DC |  There are many issues that Generic Drug manufacturers face in expanding their product offerings and taking them to market. When looking at the marketing and business development side of the generic drug market, there are a lot of challenges that companies are facing. It becomes increasingly difficult for generic drug manufacturers to make decisions on what drug would be the best to move forward into production. It is also important to know what the branded pharmaceutical companies are planning for future product developments, as well as with their current branded therapies, as many companies, when considering the expiry of their blockbusters? patent, will consider re-launching or redeveloping the therapy in order to elongate or continue the brand. Reaching patients and creating access to generic drugs has become one of the largest challenges faced by the industry as people, in general, do not consider them to be ?bioequivalent? to their branded partners. From the production side, there are also a number of important issues to consider. Generic drug manufacturers must insure that the drugs they are producing are exact replicas of the branded drugs in accordance with FDA regulations. This is of increasing importance, as many branded drugs are of an increasingly complex nature, and thus require additional manufacturing quality assurance programs. In some cases, generic drug manufacturers are being told that they need to conduct small to mid-scale clinical trials to prove the efficacy of their products! And, of course, there is increasing FDA surveillance, resulting in large-scale recalls and, to a smaller extent, the liquidation of generic houses. At this conference, we will address these issues through the presentation of case studies and the conducting of panel discussions highlighting the best practices of leading generic drug companies.
