Drugged Out

Join the team from Failure - the Podcast (a/k/a Innovation Blab) as they stumble upon the dark underbelly of Big Pharma. Our guest, Imran Nasrullah, has 25+ years of experience in the industry, specializing in drug licensing and business development. He tell tales that few know or want to believe. One in ten thousand, for example: 9,999 candidate drugs tested and rejected for one that makes it to the next stage-gate. Few drugs make it through all the hurdles, but a surprising number that do are cures — not merely daily, weekly or monthly treatments. Unfortunately, the most efficacious drugs aren’t necessarily the ones that either the makers want to make or insurers want to pay for. Is there a better way? Who knows. Join Jeff, David and Mark wrestle with Imran Nasrullah’s picture of a dark aspect of the U.S. health care system which, like democracy, seems the worst there could be, except for all others that have been tried.
