The pharmaceutical, biologics and medical device industries are changing as they struggle with economic, political and public health changes. Capital markets have periodically proven less than kind to new biotechnology, pharmaceutical and biologics firms. The translation of innovative ideas into projected profit from new products requires sophisticated analysis. The FDA Modernization Act of 1997, and multiple reauthorizations of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, and FDA's Critical Path Initiative have provided opportunities for more creatively moving products through the regulatory agency maze. They have also "raised the bar" on standards for data quality. It is vital to develop and plan for effective strategies to hasten the product development process. This involves:

• Establishing a relationship with the FDA and/or State Reviewing Division
• Assessing the technology fairly and objectively
• Selecting those products that will maximize portfolio value
• Providing effective guidance on the needs of the marketplace
• Building an effective strategic plan for speeding product development
• Maintaining confidentiality of medical records and intellectual property
• Creating medical and technical documents that are comprehensive, focused, and easily read
• Managing the process effectively from start to finish, affirmatively making decisions and encouraging others to do the same

The inefficiency and relative lack of benefit for the client in the typical joint venture and partnering process and in the usual CRO model for consulting services are demonstrated by inordinate delays in the conduct of clinical trials, massive cost overruns, and lack of attention to detail in CRO teams with conflicting priorities. This results in delays in submissions and manufacturing; and clinical or technological questions raised late in the review process. GZP emphasizes a proactive approach to these issues from the very first interactions with our clients and partners. If you demand targeted management, regulatory and product development consulting, prompt attention to detail, individual consideration and first-rate quality, then choose Ground Zero Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
