The interviewer
Our client, Halden Pharma, is a mid-size pharmaceutical company. Its once-weekly injectable for type 2 diabetes, HLD-217, has just completed phase 3 and will launch in the US in 2027, into a class led by much larger competitors. The CEO wants to know how big the drug can be and what price to launch at. How would you approach it?
