`Cost to Develop and Win Marketing Approval for a New Drug Is $2.6
`Billion
`
`BOSTON – Nov. 18, 2014 – Developing a new prescription medicine that gains marketing approval, a process
`often lasting longer than a decade, is estimated to cost $2,558 million, according to a new study by the Tufts
`Center for the Study of Drug Development.
`
`The $2,558 million figure per approved compound is based on estimated:
`
`Average out­of­pocket cost of $1,395 million
`Time costs (expected returns that investors forego while a drug is in development) of $1,163 million
`
`Estimated average cost of post­approval R&D—studies to test new indications, new formulations, new dosage
`strengths and regimens, and to monitor safety and long­term side effects in patients required by the U.S. Food
`and Drug Administration as a condition of approval—of $312 million boosts the full product lifecycle cost per
`approved drug to $2,870 million. All figures are expressed in 2013 dollars.
`
`The new analysis, which updates similar Tufts CSDD analyses, was developed from information provided by 10
`pharmaceutical companies on 106 randomly selected drugs that were first tested in human subjects anywhere in
`the world from 1995 to 2007.
`
`“Drug development remains a costly undertaking despite ongoing efforts across the full spectrum of
`pharmaceutical and biotech companies to rein in growing R&D costs,” said Joseph A. DiMasi, director of
`economic analysis at Tufts CSDD and principal investigator for the study.
`
`He added, “Because the R&D process is marked by substantial technical risks, with expenditures incurred for
`many development projects that fail to result in a marketed product, our estimate links the costs of unsuccessful
`projects to those that are successful in obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities.”
`
`In a study published in 2003, Tufts CSDD estimated the cost per approved new drug to be $802 million (in 2000
`dollars) for drugs first tested in human subjects from 1983 to 1994, based on average out­of­pocket costs of
`$403 million and capital costs of $401 million.
`
`The $802 million, equal to $1,044 million in 2013 dollars, indicates that the cost to develop and win marketing
`approval for a new drug has increased by 145% between the two study periods, or at a compound annual growth
`rate of 8.5%.

`2/1/2017
`According to DiMasi, rising drug development costs have been driven mainly by increases in out­of­pocket
`costs for individual drugs and higher failure rates for drugs tested in human subjects.
`
`Factors that likely have boosted out­of­pocket clinical costs include increased clinical trial complexity, larger
`clinical trial sizes, higher cost of inputs from the medical sector used for development, greater focus on targeting
`chronic and degenerative diseases, changes in protocol design to include efforts to gather health technology
`assessment information, and testing on comparator drugs to accommodate payer demands for comparative
`effectiveness data.
`
`Lengthening development and approval times were not responsible for driving up development costs, according
`to DiMasi.
`
`“In fact,” DiMasi said, “changes in the overall time profile for development and regulatory approval phases had
`a modest moderating effect on the increase in R&D costs. As a result, the time cost share of total cost declined
`from approximately 50% in previous studies to 45% for this study.”
`
`The study was authored by DiMasi, Henry G. Grabowski of the Duke University Department of Economics, and
`Ronald W. Hansen at the Simon Business School at the University of Rochester.
