Abstract

• Eli Lilly's CEO John Lechleiter told investors that oncology is going to be a sustainable play for many years to come. What is the outlook for the oncology market? Why are new companies fl ooding targeted therapy markets?
• Companies are looking to gain a foothold in biologics markets or to extend MAb franchises. What types of therapeutic cancer MAb deals have taken place in the last two years? What strategies are companies using?
• The emerging cancer vaccine market is signifi cantly behind the therapeutic cancer MAb market. What is the key issue involved in developing cancer vaccines? What technologies are in development? What deals are being made?
• Bristol-Myers Squibb's CEO James M. Cornelius told investors that an ImClone acquisition was the next logical step in the company's almost ten-year relationship with ImClone. Why did BMS want to acquire ImClone? What key factor played in Lilly's successful bid and acquisition of ImClone?
• Roche has transitioned its pharmaceutical business with a focus on specialty segments and biologics. What was involved in Roche's eight-month struggle to take over Genentech? Why was the winning bid agreeable to both parties?
• Schering-Plough's CEO Fred Hassan said stunning and accelerating changes in the global macro environment are driving changes in the pharma industry. Why did Schering-Plough accept Merck & Co.'s offer for a reverse merger? What technologies were key to the merger strategy?

• Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies: Late-stage pipeline, targets, gold standards, combination MAb therapies, engineered/ optimized antibodies, next-generation antibodies, biosimilar market entry dates, patent expiry.
• Cancer vaccines: Late-stage pipeline, marketed vaccines, vaccine technologies, troubled companies.
• Biosimilars: Patent expiry, market entry dates, companies facing signifi cant challenges, big pharmaceutical companies moving into this market.
• Dealmaking trends and opportunities: Antibody-based deals, three therapeutic MAb-related mergers and acquisitions involving Big Pharma, six cancer vaccine deals involving Big Pharma.
• Market drivers: Indication expansion, cost, early-stage disease, biomarkers, biosimilars, combination therapies, evolving technologies, survey of oncologists and managed care organization pharmacy directors, formulary coverage of therapeutic cancer MAbs, Decision Resources' Drug Comparator Model.
