What does Pipeline cover? |
| |
Pipeline covers the progress of all significant new drug candidates as they enter pharmaceutical research and development programmes around the world, and tracks their development from early preclinical development right up to market launch worldwide, or to discontinuation if a drug fails at any stage. All records are retained in the database, regardless of the fate of the drug. This cumulative nature of the database enables Pipeline to provide a comprehensive history of global drug research and development from 1980 when the database was first constructed.

How many research requests can I submit? |
| |
There is no limit to the number of research requests you can make. As a Pipeline subscriber, you have direct access to Informa's analysts, who will conduct primary and/or
secondary research on your behalf to find answers to your drug-specific questions. In general, we can dedicate up to three hours of analyst time* to address your question.
Pipeline's Research Support service is included as part of your corporate subscription to Pipeline. There are no additional fees or costs to your organization to use Pipeline's Research Support.
*Certain research requests may be outside the scope of the basic Pipeline research service, such as those requiring extensive resources,aggregated or sophisticated data analyses, or paid interviews. In such cases, Informa will let you know that the request is out of scope. You will never be charged for submitting a research request.
