From Pivotal Data to Approval: The Regulatory Review Strategy
This is Part 6 of The Drug Development Playbook. This article explains how to turn that data and your manufacturing story into an approval.
-
Clinical Development: Phases I to III
This is Part 5 in The Drug Development Playbook. In this article we move into clinical trials from phase I to III.
-
Preclinical Development and IND/CTA Readiness: making the candidate safe enough to test in people
This is Part 4 of The Drug Development Playbook. We talk about building nonclinical and CMC evidence that lets regulators say yes to first-in-human trials.
-
Hit Discovery and Lead Optimization – how teams turn a validated target into an actual drug candidate
This is Part 3 of The Drug Development Playbook. We answer the next question: how do you find molecules that not only hit that biology but can become safe, manufacturable medicines?

Why Scalability Matters More Than Breakthrough Biology
The importance of scalability in drug development is emphasized, revealing that many scientific breakthroughs fail due to overlooked manufacturing complexities and costs. Teams should assess scalability early using four key axes: manufacturing, supply chain, cost-of-goods, and regulatory expectations. Practical changes, like embedding manufacturing expertise in early projects, can enhance readiness for commercial success.
