Revealing the most promising drugs

 
February 2009

The newly published Pharma Matters report—The Ones to Watch October-December 2008—reveals the most promising drugs changing clinical phase, receiving approval and launched this quarter.

Pharmaceutical innovators remain committed to their pipelines, no matter what the economic climate. Our lists of promising drugs this quarter include potential large-population treatments for cancer, HIV infection, asthma and osteoporosis, among others. But we also continue to see a number of promising niche, ‘specialty’ pharmaceuticals for small patient populations.

MGI Pharma, Genzyme, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline and Abbott/Solvay are responsible for the five most promising drugs launched or receiving approval.

The five most promising drugs entering Phase 3 trials are from Gene Signal, Daiichi Sankyo, TopoTarget, Indevus and Renovo.
