Orca Bio's Dan Kirby has played a hand in prepping more than a few approved biologic therapeutic candidates for commercialization. Equally important, he knows firsthand what makes or breaks post-approval commercial efforts, having played virtually every role there is to play in drug sales and marketing. He "carried the bag" for GSK in his early days, directed oncology marketing efforts at Amgen, and led marketing and U.S. commercial efforts at Juno, then Celgene after it acquired the former. Kirby joined Orca Bio in timely fashion back in 2020, as today the company ushers its first cell therapy into phase 3 clinical trials, with strategically-dispersed follow-up candidates spanning all phases back to R&D. On this week's episode of the Business of Biotech, we get a one-on-one commercialization preparation discussion with one of the best in the business, and the straight-talking veteran doesn't disappoint in the strategy and insight departments.
