The regulatory and research landscape for therapeutics is continually evolving globally. These changes are influenced by factors such as requirements by the regulatory agencies and health authorities, or strategic positioning of the product in the marketplace. Challenges also arise from the necessity to develop a therapeutic product in conjunction with an assay.The therapeutic company finds itself in unfamiliar territory and might not fully appreciate unforeseen challenges that could delay and even potentially derail a development program.
