PHARMACEUTICALS face competitive hurdles from numerous sources: the scientific risk in innovation is not trivial; then there is the Regulatory risk, where good drugs fail not because they are bad but due to trial design or lack of statistical power in a study; and finally, even when these two immense hurdles are overcome, agencies like Britain’s NICE, or the US equivalent give the thumbs up or down on actually paying for the medicine.
