    .
     
      R&D success rate is high, returns are rising rapidly, improved new drugs show advantages in adversity
     
      With the continuous advancement of medical reform, under the situation of normalization and standardization of national procurement and provincial centralized procurement, the generic drug market is under increasing pressure.
    Although innovative drugs have high returns, they have long R&D cycles and large initial investment, which are not suitable for all domestic pharmaceutical companies.
    Participate blindly
    .
    Improved new drugs are improvements to drugs already on the market, emphasizing "superiority".
    They have the advantages of relatively high success rate, low risk, long life cycle, and quick return.
    It has become the mainstream of global new drug research and development.
    Judging from the declaration of domestic pharmaceutical companies, this mainstream trend is also accelerating, and the outbreak period is about to come
    .
     
      Since 2018, among the 2 new chemical drugs that have been declared for marketing, except for category 2.
    4 (new indication), category 2.
    2 (modulation form improvement) accounts for the largest proportion.
    A careful analysis reveals that over 1 billion varieties of modified formulations are the most popular
    .
    On the one hand, because these large varieties have been on the market for many years, the clinical safety and effectiveness have been recognized, and the market foundation is strong.
    The new dosage form will have more advantages in similar products, and it will be easier to quickly obtain the approval of doctors and patients after the market; secondly, In the general atmosphere of centralized procurement, some large-variety generic drug manufacturers have completed one or more rounds of shuffling, freeing up more space for new drugs (including improved new drugs) for cultivation.
    Moreover, improved new drugs cannot be cultivated.
    Need to "fight at low prices" with generic drugs, and enterprises have greater enthusiasm and freedom
    .
     
      Earlier, most of the domestic improved new drugs were "changes for change.
    " Therefore, a batch of products that changed ordinary tablets into capsules, dispersible tablets, and sustained-release tablets were reported for production.
    To provide better treatments, changes to granules and oral solutions are gradually increasing, but these technical improvements with low barriers are more likely to be imitated and replaced in the future
    .
     
      In recent years, with the improvement of the R&D capabilities of domestic pharmaceutical companies, some high-barrier technologies, such as liposomes, microspheres, oral membranes, micelles, transdermal patches, etc.
    , have become the focus of research and development of improved new drugs.
    After a short period of cultivation, the batch of products on the market have shown a trend of skyrocketing year after year in the terminal market.
    Some improved new drugs are still under medical protection and quickly occupy a high ground in the market
    .
     
      Nervous system, systemic anti-infection and anti-tumor are currently popular research and development positions for improved formulations
    .
    The three recommendations are summarized from the approved and under review product information for reference only .
    Patients with neurological diseases may accumulate some negative emotions due to the need to take medication for a long time.
    If they cannot continue to take the medication according to the amount and need, the condition may be difficult to control.
    In addition, the incidence of children with certain diseases is increasing year by year, and stable medication is also increased.
    Therefore, it is recommended that improvements in this field can be carried out from the perspectives of long-term effectiveness and ease of use to meet the clinical needs of patients
    .
    Systemic anti-infective drugs can start from the structural change.
    For example, the current antibiotic resistance problem continues to intensify, which has severely weakened the therapeutic effect of the drug.
    If only the dosage form is modified, the best effect may not be achieved
    .
    In terms of anti-tumor drugs, we can start with some new drug delivery systems, such as liposomes, microspheres, micelles, etc.
    , with their "assistance", it can improve the stability of patients in vivo and the high sensitivity of drug release in tumors Degree, let the medicine exert the best effect

      Due to its good stability, high encapsulation rate, low cost, and few toxic and side effects, liposomal drugs have increased in the international market in recent years.
    However, there are currently only 3 liposome-related drugs (5 brands) in China.
    Among them, the highest terminal sales in China's public medical institutions in 2020 is CSPC's doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome injection

    .
     
      R&D success rate is high, returns are rising rapidly, improved new drugs show advantages in adversity
     
      With the continuous advancement of medical reform, under the situation of normalization and standardization of national procurement and provincial centralized procurement, the generic drug market is under increasing pressure.
    Although innovative drugs have high returns, they have long R&D cycles and large initial investment, which are not suitable for all domestic pharmaceutical companies.
    Participate blindly
    .
    Improved new drugs are improvements to drugs already on the market, emphasizing "superiority".
    They have the advantages of relatively high success rate, low risk, long life cycle, and quick return.
    It has become the mainstream of global new drug research and development.
    Judging from the declaration of domestic pharmaceutical companies, this mainstream trend is also accelerating, and the outbreak period is about to come
    .
     
      Since 2018, among the 2 new chemical drugs that have been declared for marketing, except for category 2.
    4 (new indication), category 2.
    2 (modulation form improvement) accounts for the largest proportion.
    A careful analysis reveals that over 1 billion varieties of modified formulations are the most popular
    .
    On the one hand, because these large varieties have been on the market for many years, the clinical safety and effectiveness have been recognized, and the market foundation is strong.
    The new dosage form will have more advantages in similar products, and it will be easier to quickly obtain the approval of doctors and patients after the market; secondly, In the general atmosphere of centralized procurement, some large-variety generic drug manufacturers have completed one or more rounds of shuffling, freeing up more space for new drugs (including improved new drugs) for cultivation.
    Moreover, improved new drugs cannot be cultivated.
    Need to "fight at low prices" with generic drugs, and enterprises have greater enthusiasm and freedom
    .
     
      Earlier, most of the domestic improved new drugs were "changes for change.
    " Therefore, a batch of products that changed ordinary tablets into capsules, dispersible tablets, and sustained-release tablets were reported for production.
    To provide better treatments, changes to granules and oral solutions are gradually increasing, but these technical improvements with low barriers are more likely to be imitated and replaced in the future
    .
     
      In recent years, with the improvement of the R&D capabilities of domestic pharmaceutical companies, some high-barrier technologies, such as liposomes, microspheres, oral membranes, micelles, transdermal patches, etc.
    , have become the focus of research and development of improved new drugs.
    After a short period of cultivation, the batch of products on the market have shown a trend of skyrocketing year after year in the terminal market.
    Some improved new drugs are still under medical protection and quickly occupy a high ground in the market
    .
     
      Nervous system, systemic anti-infection and anti-tumor are currently popular research and development positions for improved formulations
    .
    The three recommendations are summarized from the approved and under review product information for reference only .
    Patients with neurological diseases may accumulate some negative emotions due to the need to take medication for a long time.
    If they cannot continue to take the medication according to the amount and need, the condition may be difficult to control.
    In addition, the incidence of children with certain diseases is increasing year by year, and stable medication is also increased.
    Therefore, it is recommended that improvements in this field can be carried out from the perspectives of long-term effectiveness and ease of use to meet the clinical needs of patients
    .
    Systemic anti-infective drugs can start from the structural change.
    For example, the current antibiotic resistance problem continues to intensify, which has severely weakened the therapeutic effect of the drug.
    If only the dosage form is modified, the best effect may not be achieved
    .
    In terms of anti-tumor drugs, we can start with some new drug delivery systems, such as liposomes, microspheres, micelles, etc.
    , with their "assistance", it can improve the stability of patients in vivo and the high sensitivity of drug release in tumors Degree, let the medicine exert the best effect
