process/system Explanation: not disagreeing with the specific drug-related references posted by Taña BUT "pipeline" or more commonly the expression "in the pipeline" is used not just about drugs but any project... so when something is "in the pipeline" it is in the process of being researched or developed or produced or R&D or production system I'm putting an answer as it doesn't seem to be in glossary in En> En though it is there for other language pairs http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pipeline 3. in the pipeline: in the process of being completed, delivered, or produced http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/pipeline.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 days (2016-07-13 08:56:17 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- glad to have helped |

| Reference: Refs. Reference information: R&D > Research and Development (pipeline) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_pipeline A drug pipeline is the set of drug candidates that a pharmaceutical company has under discovery or development at any given point in time. This involves various phases that can broadly be grouped in 4 stages: discovery, pre-clinical, clinical trials and marketing (or post-approval). Pharmaceutical companies usually have a number of compounds in their pipelines. The drug pipeline is an important indicator of the value and future prospects of a company. Usually the more compounds in the pipeline, and the more advanced stage that these are in the better. Other factors that are taken into account when assessing the value of a pipeline include the size of the target market of each drug, the market share that the drug is expected to capture and the risk that it will not be approved. http://moneyterms.co.uk/drug_pipeline/ In the pharmaceuticals sector, a drugs pipeline consists of the drugs that a company has under development or is testing. This includes completely new drugs, variants of existing drugs and new applications of existing drugs. The pipeline starts with new drug discoveries and it is important to assess companies' ability to discover new drugs as well as drugs that are currently in the pipeline. The early stage of the pipeline needs to be refilled as drugs move up. Good R & D is crucial. New drugs require extensive development, pre-clinical testing, three stages of clinical trials and then have to approved in each country the company wishes to sell the drug in. This means that many uncertainties lie between discovering a new drug and selling it. The uncertainties lessen as a drug. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2016-07-04 14:43:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops the last sentence should read "The uncertainties lessen as a drug moves along the pipeline." |
