Risks
Uncertainty risks in new drug development: new drug development is characterized by a long development cycle, high investment, high risks, and a low success rate. From laboratory research to the approval and launch of a new drug, it must go through many complex stages including preclinical research, clinical trials, new drug registration and marketing, and post-market supervision, with each stage facing the risk of failure.
Industry policy risks: Risks arising from changes in research design requirements, price fluctuations, changes in volume-based procurement policies, and changes in the scope and proportion of medical insurance reimbursement due to industry policy adjustments.
Risk of R&D falling short of expectations: During the process of developing a new drug—from drug discovery, preclinical research, and clinical trials to commercialization—there are potential issues arising from enterprises' technology or processes not meeting standards, as well as risks related to untimely communication with regulators or non-compliance.
Risk of sales falling short of expectations: After the drug is launched, sales may be affected by potential pandemic impacts, insufficient logistics capacity, insufficient production capacity, and other risks. It is also necessary to be alert to the risks of changes in key technical personnel and intensified market competition.
