Big Pharma spends $5bil per new medicine developed when the cost of all their failures are added in; 95% of the experimental drugs that Big Pharma create fail. The development cost, and the astronomical profit potential for one successful drug, keep Big Pharma shoveling mega bucks into the coffers both parties. This makes sure they see things the Big Pharma way.

In part because so many drugs fail, large pharmaceutical companies that are working on dozens of drug projects at once spend $5 billion per new medicine."
