Re: Terminology
>Even what is meant by "late-stage" is somewhat debatable. "Late-stage" to me means drugs that are in registration-based clinical trials. Many view "late-stage" to mean only drugs that have been filed or will soon be filed.<
How about we discard the “late stage” qualifier and use phase-3 and launch-ready instead?
As far as PFE is concerned, the launch-ready pipeline (Exubera, Sutent, Indiplon) is more impressive than the phase-3 pipeline, IMO.
p.s. Looking forward to your reply on PFE, TEVA, AGN, BIIB, FRX, etc.
