STUDY OVERVIEW
Increasing cost pressures are forcing pharmaceutical companies to explore sources of revenue beyond the development of new drugs. In this time- and cost-constrained environment, companies have had begun to look at lifecycle management strategies with newfound interest.
To help biopharma companies more effectively conduct the many activities related to lifecycle management, Best Practices, LLC conducted a study to provide important benchmarks on the optimal size and structure of Mature Brand Organizations. In addition, this study provides pharmaceutical and biotech executives with important benchmarks on recent barriers and regulations affecting the industry as well as the lifecycle strategies used by Mature Brand Organizations or the groups responsible for lifecycle management.
This study identifies and documents current practices and trends at Mature Brand Organizations and explores the rationale for different tactical approaches for lifecycle management strategies. In addition, the research provides insights into which strategies will survive in a changing pharmaceutical environment.

STUDY OVERVIEW
With fewer products in the pipeline and more at the edge of the patent cliff, strategies to extend the commercial life of mature brands are critical to the bio-pharmaceutical industry today. Used correctly, strategies can add as many as 10 years and billions of dollars to the life of an established or mature brand. This study is designed to help brand and marketing leaders identify winning lifecycle management (LCM) strategies they can use to extend the commercial life of bio-pharmaceutical products. The study examines ROI, effectiveness, time and costs required for over 20 different LCM strategies.
To help pharmaceutical and biotech companies more effectively overcome the many challenges related to lifecycle management as patents expire and pipelines thin, Best Practices, LLC conducted a study to provide important benchmarks to determine the value of different lifecycle management strategies. Specifically, this benchmark study provides executives with important metrics on successful strategies in the current pharmacentical environment and the returns they can anticipate from these different tactics.
