Ideally pharmaceutical innovators identify a companion diagnostic need early in the development process and identify an in vitro diagnostic partner that is able to not only support the execution of testing during the clinical trial but also launch the test globally when the drug is approved.  However, this is often not the case.  Variables in immediate testing needs, difficult commercialization pathways, and misaligned incentives lead to disconnects between the promise of CDx and the realities.  This presentation will provide an overview of companion diagnostic development and launch/distribution options and market access pathways.  It will review the needs and capabilities of various stakeholders (drug, IVD, lab, CRO, etc.) and not only point out where some of the disconnects lie but also provide suggestions for incorporating stage appropriate activities into drug development and CDx commercialization/market access planning and partnering/deal-terms.
