Long gone are the days when a drug successfully completing Phase III trials was virtually assured of launch.
The results of late-stage clinical trials are scrutinised as never before, and even products that surmount safety and efficacy requirements must overcome increasingly challenging pharmacoeconomic and medical outcome hurdles.

Tracking and evaluating these new products through their late-stage development is essential and that is why both industry and the investment community will value this comprehensive new service from one of the world's leading providers of oncology business data. AP23573 ARIAD Pharmaceuticals
It is predicted that AP23573 will reach the market in early 2010 for the treatment of patients with metastatic or unresectable soft-tissue and bone sarcomas who exhibit stable disease following a favourable response to chemotherapy. Registrational studies may also be undertaken in prostate and haematological cancers, both as monotherapy and in combination.
