Introduction

Better diagnostics, the means to treat earlier stage-disease, disease-modifying therapies, and disease prevention are the holy grails of autoimmune and infl ammatory disease drug development. However, basic science and redundant biological pathways are holding back this therapy area. In this report, we investigate the autoimmune and infl ammatory disease industry. We analyze 200 deals in this therapy area for 2007, 2008, and the fi rst fi ve months of 2009. We assess what types of deals companies are executing and what business strategies they are deploying for future success. We discuss recent industry-shaping events, industry drivers, and barriers that are holding back this therapy area.
