How do you do a biotech deal — or keep one — in this economy?

The freeze up on biotech IPOs has put a heavy premium on dealmaking from the biotech side. Collaborations with deep-pocket players offer new revenue sources and the chance to build pipeline. But they can be harder than ever to hold on to. We’re gathering a panel of longtime biotech players to talk about the new rules of the game.

The VCs: What are the biotech creators funding now? And how?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re acutely aware of the change in environment in biotech VC investing. The 1-2 Wall Street dance of A round to S-1 is over, indefinitely, and new biotech creators are digging in for the long haul. Where do they get their startup ideas now and who gets a green light on funding? We’ll get into it in depth with our panel of veteran biotech investors as the 3.0 generation takes shapes.

R&D chiefs are taking a hard look at what’s in the pipeline — and what’s out

Continuing our theme of the week, we’re talking to a group of pharma R&D chiefs about the way they are picking and choosing which drugs to push ahead. There’s a rising bar on what qualifies as “positive,” as well as a keen interest in what can move the commercial dial once it is approved. Getting lost in translation? Listen in.

LGBTQ+ leaders enter the biotech chat

Leaders across biotech are trying to move the needle on LGBTQ+ rights. In the midst of calls for diversity in clinical trials, board rooms and management teams, they face a cash crunch in the industry and anti-LGBTQ bills. From the lab to the C-suite, Endpoints News sits down with some of these executives, entrepreneurs and researchers to discuss what happens from here.

The evolution of clinical trials

From Phase I to Phase III, clinical trials have become more complex, with more purposes and stakeholders. Efficacy endpoints are common from the start. Speed is increasingly critical to make business decisions about moving forward of heading to regulators. And an increasingly open accelerated approval pathway means that it’s imperative to collect more evidence earlier. Our panel of experts will unpack how clinical trial design has evolved in recent years, where it’s going, and what it means for the industry.
