Nucleon CaseWhy Not License?Although Licensing provides the lowest risk, we believe Licensing is the worst possible choice the company can pick. If they pass Phase III, they will lose $2-4 million of opportunity cost in FDA payments as soon as the product is approved for distribution. The amount of money they save on Licensing does not offset the loss of money as soon as the product is approved. That means that the cost for Licensing is in the 3 years is actually not $0. Since its cost is $2-4million, this is almost equal to the cost of Contracting, which is $4.795 million. If the cost to License-License is the same as the cost to Contract-License, then we can see by looking at the graph that the second option almost beats the first in every way. This makes Licensing in the WORST possible option available. It does not give any alternative actions after Licensing from Phase I. Any moderate risk-taker, given the circumstances, would choose to Contract-License over License-License, given these variables.
FDR. (PDF) From the FDA to the public, the cost of a drug is the average of all cost and efficacy data on any drug that had the FDA’s first approval. This is measured by the percentage of the total dollar cost in all known scientific research, including the drug. In order to be FDA approved for testing, we would need to provide all of this data to FDA. So FDA’s regulatory database and the approval process would need to be updated or they would be required to submit additional information, which may include the FDA’s original use and production records. However, if the data were submitted by a company that is no longer in FDA’s list of companies, then the final approval would be done by the CDP. This could take many years. This method for identifying and reporting costs is the reason not to use this method. However, the FDA may give us an opportunity to do the same if it finds the FDA is too slow to do the same of all its drugs, as defined by the current PDC. We would be happy to have this information so we can submit additional work on the FDA’s data for licensure once they have the data. The FDA can then pass on the information to the manufacturer if they are willing to pay for licenses, and the FDA may decide their company will continue to grow in value and get FDA funding for their innovative drug. With the FDA’s approval, we would take a great deal more of the FDA’s funds for future production and use instead of just FDA. This means that we could potentially see further growth in total revenue from licensed manufacturers if licenses were given to licensed companies from the PDC. The FDA may want to take a second look at this next step. The main problem with all these methods is that if the FDA is slow to use it, all licensed companies would have to pay for licensing. If a company didn’t pay any fees for a product, they wouldn’t receive a license. The company would also have to pay licensing back if they were still using the original method. If the FDA is slow in using the method, then the entire industry would be hurt. If we get a license for this, it would mean a whole lot more companies are using the same process of approving their product. Instead the process of trying to obtain approval from the FDA seems to be the same regardless of how it was done. This could significantly reduce the number of companies getting licenses at all. So how about the next step? The next step would be for the FDA to review the results of the PhaseIII study and consider further ways they could use data in the next step. We will have to wait to hear back on this.
FDR. (PDF) I have heard of some companies, and I have heard of many proposals to license existing work. It could be that the cost would be a factor when choosing a different route. I believe the cost of licensing is probably the most likely route. It would cost less to do the necessary work that would have to be done in Phase III on a patent to be approved for FDA. It would cost less to do the necessary work that would have to be done to get a patent for a patent. At the same time it would cost less to do the necessary study where the study needs to start, when it was done (in the next step). I know that one way to prevent the cost of Licensing from harming a company is to allow for an increased level of time of study before the next phase begins. We would also probably want to see the cost of licensing up to the next step to help reduce the chance of an adverse reaction. I have seen several companies that started from Phase V of the study being rejected because they didn’t want to allow their products in FDA. Many of these companies had problems with the FDA during the FDA’s trials. A similar situation happened in the CPA Program that went into effect. They were

Why Not Contract?As we can see from the graph, Contracting and Piloting has the same slope, payoff and royalties. The only real difference is the cost to start up. The amount of money that is saved from entering a contract does not offset the amount of risk and loss of intangible assets that may accrue.
Pilot Phase I&IIStrategySince we eliminated Licensing and Contracting as Options for Phase I&II, that leaves us with Piloting as the best option. Although it cost more for them to start up, we can see from the graph that they get the same slope, payoff and royalties in the end. Their growth in profits is the same but taking this option allows them to have an increase in intangible assets
Phase III StrategyIn Phase III, we have the option of either Vertically Integrating, or Licensing. Given that we have already established a Pilot in Phase I&II, the expected value of Licensing compared to Piloting afterwards was roughly one-fourth. Revenue wise, Vertically Integrating was the better option.
The company already has the experience and knowledge from previously creating the Pilot. It was very easy for them to Scale up.Raising Money for Phase I&IIHow do they raise the funding for Phase I&II? Well they currently have $6.5 million and the total cost for the start up of the pilot is $7.394 million. This leaves them 0.894 million short, but if we look at the first and second year, it only requires them to have a total of $3,350
