Even when everything is well-prepared and strategies corresponding to the value of the medicine, in accordance with the regulatory objectives of the agencies, and accommodating to drug governance guidelines, are proposed, the pathway to the authorisation of a medicine may well progress differently than expected. Not to mention any external variables that could slow down, if not hinder, the access of a medicine to the market.
