Ampio Pharmaceuticals ( Ampio Pharmaceuticals)

Worldwide pharmaceutical sales are estimated to be more than $750 billion annually with significant opportunities for growth. Aging populations, expanded healthcare, declining R&D productivity and drug patent expirations have created increased demand for safe and effective drugs. Efforts to reduce health care costs have also heightened interest in new uses (‘indications’) for approved drugs and unique combination products using established drugs. This strategy accelerates development, reduces development costs and improves success rates because approved drugs typically have extensive human safety records.
