A recent analysis of R&D productivity suggests that there are grounds for 'cautious optimism' that the industry 'turned the corner' in 2008 and is 'on the comeback trail'. We believe that this analysis is flawed and most probably wrong. We present an alternative analysis of these same data to suggest that the industry is not yet 'out of the woods' and suggest that many of the systemic issues affecting pharmaceutical R&D productivity are still being resolved.
最近一项关于研发生产力的分析表明,有理由“谨慎乐观”地认为该行业在2008年“出现转机”并“走上了复苏之路”。我们认为这种分析存在缺陷,很可能是错误的。我们对这些相同的数据进行了另一种分析,以表明该行业尚未“走出困境”,并表明许多影响制药研发生产力的系统性问题仍有待解决。
