Highlights
Lifecycle management should not be left until only few years are left to patent expiry. Revenues can be maximized during launch and peak phases by employing the right approaches. If a company starts planning its lifecycle management strategy early, it has more strategies available. However, many companies leave planning until late in the lifecycle.
While each aspect of lifecycle management is best considered independently, the most effective generic defense strategies tend to marry multiple strands together, highlighting the desirability of developing an integrated approach to lifecycle management.
Developmental lifecycle management can boost revenues both in the mid and late stages of a drug’s lifecycle and are a preferred option so long as the likelihood of their success is high, depending on product characteristics and market environment.
