The full-year 2013 BioMeter analysis shows across-the-board increases in BioMeter value, with an average of $33.9 million for all transactions, up from approximately $21.2 million in 2012. Increases occurred for each stage of development, with the BioMeter for preclinical/discovery transactions averaging approximately $21.8 million in 2013, compared to approximately $10 million in 2012; the BioMeter value for Phase 1 products averaging approximately $40 million in 2013 compared to approximately $10 million in 2012; the BioMeter value for Phase 2 products increasing to approximately $47.4 million in 2013 from approximately $37.1 million in 2012; the BioMeter value for Phase 3 products increasing to approximately $46.2 million in 2013 from approximately $24.6 million in 2012; and the BioMeter value for approved products increasing to approximately $50.6 million in 2013 from approximately $27 million in 2012.
This data shows strength for sellers/licensors across all stages of the drug development spectrum. Indeed, the only reason that the overall average BioMeter did not jump more compared to 2012 is because of the mix of transactions. In 2013, preclinical/discovery transactions accounted for approximately 48% of transactions reporting up-front payments and reporting stage of development, compared to approximately 38% of transactions in 2012.
