Cancer is the biggest therapeutic area for licensing deals. But there are almost 3,000 drugs in Phase 1 through Phase 3, so competition for licensing deals and for market position is huge. Checkpoint inhibitors have benefits in most tumors and have made combination trials an industry standard. But everything in immuno-oncology has become so crowded that differentiation is key. So what are the areas everyone is seeking?

Life science founders are technical experts in their fields, but frequently fail to understand the needs of the stakeholders who will determine their path to market. This gap sends investors running, and all but ensures immediate or eventual company failure.

Life sciences companies are increasingly providing treatment-related items and services to support patients, such as nebulizers, utilization tracking tools and home health visits. Proactive engagement strategies can achieve a host of critical objectives—from increasing medication adherence to informing clinical studies to shedding new light on the patient journey. They also, however, can present potential regulatory pitfalls.

Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC) combine the specificity of the antibody recognizing the antigen target, typically with the potent tumor-killing effects of a cytotoxic, attached typically via a linker to the antibody. Six ADCs have already been approved; sales are expected to be about $2b in 2018, growing to $12b by...
