SCIP WEBINAR 

Using Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Manufacturing Intelligence to Forecast and Analyze Generic Competition for Pharmaceutical Products Worldwide

12 Noon to 1:00PM  USA EDT

Description
In today’s hyper-competitive generic industry, companies decide to target a product for development very early in its lifecycle – sometimes even before it has been approved.  This makes traditional sources of information like Drug Master Files, ANDAs and other information way too late for any useful competitive intelligence purposes.

This session examines why it is crucial for competitive intelligence and lifecycle management professionals to regularly and actively review the activities of companies developing generic active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) as the earliest and most reliable indicator of future generic competition for their, or their competitor’s products. 

Illustrated with examples from Thomson Reuters’ pioneering expertise in the field, the session will review the generic drug development process, current organization and attitudes within companies to tracking generic competition, key analysis that can be gleaned from API intelligence and interesting past cases.
