Beyond evaluation of intellectual property, scientific soundness, and the commercial market for a life science asset, key elements of a thorough Due Diligence process include assessment of medical need and feasibility of the proposed development strategy including the regulatory and clinical aspects. We help fill the gaps in these critical areas with a Due Diligence assessment led by drug development experts with extensive regulatory, clinical, and quality experience. Our assessment yields greater understanding of the market opportunity in the context of the development landscape and helps our clients arrive at vital go-no-go decisions.
Halloran helps our clients gain competitive advantage and stay ahead of the industry by strengthening their internal competitive intelligence. We partner with our clients to gather vital information on the external environment and key stakeholders in their specialized focus area. Our research covers insights on patient-centric recruitment strategies and trial design, trending clinical strategies as well as clinical and regulatory precedence, accessible regulatory pathways and special designations, decentralized and data-driven technologies, and macroeconomic data affecting the industry as a whole. We provide this research in the form of meaningful and actionable insights and recommendations that our clients can use to fuel decision making.
We help many early stage clients identify which development pathway is right for their business goals. Halloran helps to identify which assets and indications to prioritize and de-prioritize based on the client’s desired timeline, budget, early preclinical data, and clinical, regulatory, and commercial attributes. As part of this work, a Risk-Benefit Analysis for developing a drug or device in the indications under consideration can be provided as a guide to help mitigate potential pain points during the development.
When it comes to fundraising, being able to clearly communicate a company’s unique positioning and competitive advantage is key. Halloran has helped many early stage clients achieve their next round of funding. We strategize fundraising pitches with our clients and supplement their investor decks with slide deliverables that cover our assessment of the market opportunity, a value creation roadmap, an asset and indication prioritization plan, and a custom regulatory and clinical strategy. The slide deliverables will come complete with the required timelines and budget for each recommended step along the way, a critical step in demonstrating value to potential investors.
An Integrated Development Plan is a tool to streamline development strategy, highlight efficient development pathways, and to optimize the speed and efficiency of asset development. Halloran uses an integrated, cross functional lens to provide benchmarking, assumptions, risk analysis, and resource planning with coordinated timelines and budgets for our client’s programs. This plan is broken out by key activities and functional areas across clinical development, regulatory, chemistry manufacturing and controls (CMC), and non-clinical development. Throughout the creation of the Integrated Development Plan, we become our clients’ trusted partner to accelerate progress and are fully prepared to lead the implementation of the plan, if desired.
Our experts act as development program leaders and program managers to define the strategy within our clients’ cross-functional teams and lead the development program forward through execution. Halloran’s interim program leaders offer our clients a competitive advantage through integrated insights and learnings from the development of similar types of products in the industry.
