Selling a premium-priced drug to hospitals is a tough business to be in because hospitals are smart and poor (or think they are).
I believed this to be true, also, which is why I never thought Abraxane would sell. Turns out this is wrong. The interesting thing about Abraxane sales is they are heavily concentrated in hospitals.
We believed it wouldn't sell well in community oncology practices because of the pharmacist overhead required to construct the drug. This turned out to be right, at least so far.
