CNBC just did a review on the Pharmaceutical industry with Fred Biddle from WSJ. The report focused on difficulties in drug discovery. The discussed cost and potential to fail and the discussed the failed mergers (SBH/AHP, SBH/GLX, AHP/MTC) and the several pending mergers (HOE/RP, Sanofi/Synthelabo, AstraZeneca, WLA/AGPH). Details linked to Merger Mania page at biocognizance.com
Report closed by saying that drug development process was more akin to striking it rich at Las Vegas than finding a hit movie at Hollywood.
