Therefore, this organization had to take a crucial marketing decision. On the other hand, they could carry out a clinical investigation which would demonstrate that this antidepressant could effectively mitigate the pain of the patients with mood disorders (Ofek & Laufer 2008, p.
LYLLI AND IVI TRIAL
On the one hand, they could invest into a clinical trial that could prove the efficiency of Cymbalta in treating MDD. The management of Eli Lilly had to choose between several options. At that point, they did not know whether QD 1 dose of Cymbalta could effectively treat major depressive disorder (MDD). Nonetheless, it required a higher dosage, especially in comparison with Prozac or other antidepressants. It could treat various forms of depression and pain that sometimes accompanied this psychological disorder. Overall, this drug had some significant strengths and limitations. At that point, the only antidepressant that could do that was Cymbalta or duloxetine (Ofek & Laufer 2008, p. Hence, this organization had to introduce a new product that could successfully replace Prozac. The thing is that manufacturers of generic drugs could bring very similar and less expensive products into the market, and it would have been difficult to compete with them only by means of price differentiation (Ofek & Laufer 2008, p. However, this situation could significantly change due to patent expiration. They were the only company that could sell the antidepressants based on this chemical molecule that they developed. First, one should say that for a long time this pharmaceutical company was the major supplier of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), especially fluoxetine, commonly known as Prozac. The problem faced by Eli Lilly had several dimensions. The rationale for these recommendations will be explained in the following sections of the paper. Its analgesic capacity should be a supplement but not the main attribute of the product. In particular, product development efforts and marketing campaign should first emphasize the efficiency of their drug as an antidepressant and tolerability. The main recommendation that one can make is that this pharmaceutical corporation should attach greater importance to their brand image. They were primarily related to the development of such a medicine as duloxetine or Cymbalta. This case study focuses on the strategy or strategies that this organization had to choose in 2000. It should be noted that this analysis relies primarily on the information presented in the case study by Elie Ofek and Ron Laufer (2008). Secondly, it will evaluate various marketing decisions which the company could take under those circumstances. First, it will explain the nature of difficulties faced by this pharmaceutical corporation.
