Synergies with Tessellon

Bridge Consulting and Tessellon have collaborated on multiple projects designed to inform client development and investment decisions in early – mid stage clinical programs. Examples include:

#1: Royalty Stream Partnering Opportunity in Japan: Utilizing Bridge’s cancer development and competitive intensity capabilities and Tessellon’s epidemiology capability and extensive knowledge of the Japanese market, our analysis demonstrated that the revenue potential and insufficient product differentiation did not support investment by the client. Client Board decided not to pursue opportunity.

#2: Neurodegenerative Disease Commercial Assessments: Bridge and Tessellon collaborated to develop commercial assessments of several neurodegenerative agents across multiple indications. Client is utilizing our commercial assessments to evaluate internal development programs and licensing opportunities.

#3: Development Plan Alternatives & Commercial Assessment in Liver Cancer: Bridge and Tessellon developed three potential HCC development programs for a phase 1 client asset. We subsequently provided competitive intensity, epidemiology and pricing that rolled up into a G7 revenue forecast. Client is utilizing our work for partnering and financing discussions.
