60 value of expected profits, discounted by a representative hurdle rate, less the cost of developing the drug. For the average drug, we assume peak annual sales of $500 million and 11 years to patent expiration. Also, our numbers reflect the fact that R&D Post-genomics Pre-genomics GENOMICS TECHNOLOGY ASSUMPTIONS Biology Target ID Target Validation Target identification • Limited numbers of genes • Molecular biology and biochemistry techniques Target validation • Cell and tissue studies • Mouse knockouts Target identification • Large numbers of genes • Industrialized techniques (e.g., gene chip expression) • Bioinformatics (e.g., database searches for homologies) Target validation • Cell and tissue studies • Mouse knockouts SOURCES: BCG analysis; industry interviews; scientific literature. dollars saved are pretax dollars; these “saved” dollars are subject to taxation, which explains in part why the expressed NPV calculations can be lower than the R&D savings.
