Question 1 of 4
Why would investors be less likely to invest in small molecules?
A
The 9 years of patent protection under the Inflation Reduction Act is not enough time for companies to make the profits they need to justify the risk of investing time and money into developing a drug (and all the previous, failed attempts that lead them to success).
B
Small molecules are almost always administered as injections or by a physician through an IV.
C
Small molecules are inferior to biologics.
D
Small molecules are worth less to society and so should be disincentivized, even though they are easier to genericize and make up the majority of our current drug armamentarium.
