Optimizing value creation in biopharma is like “the flop” in Texas hold ‘em
Plenge Gen
MARCH 27, 2025
In a previous blog post, I argued that pharmaceutical Research and Development (R&D) is more like poker than chess given the probabilistic nature of developing new medicines. In this blog, I build out this argument further and introduce a new concept, the Critical Value Creation Period (CVCP). The CVCP is the moment in R&D where the probability of success (PoS) for an investigational medicine becoming a new medicine jumps substantially.
