Hundreds of breakthrough treatments are transforming patients’ lives in the US — but still aren’t available in Europe.


In this short extract, Pierre-Henri Belin, the Co-Founder and CEO of Xcube.Bio, reveals the shocking scale of this innovation gap… and why it’s growing.

The full episode drops tomorrow on Pharma minds — don’t miss it!


What you will learn in the full episode of tomorrow :

◾️ The alarming gap between the United States and Europe — with more than 100 new drugs available in the US but still not accessible to European patients.

◾️ Why this gap exists, from fragmented regulatory systems to national-level decision-making and the lack of early collaboration between key actors.

◾️ The consequences for patients, innovation, and the competitiveness of Europe’s healthcare ecosystem.

◾️ Pierre-Henri’s proposed model, built on transparency, collaboration, and shared responsibility — connecting innovators, regulators, and patients earlier in the process.

◾️ A message of hope, showing that Europe can reinvent its system without sacrificing safety or trust, but only if we act collectively and decisively.


A clear, concrete, and inspiring episode that sheds light on how Europe can regain its leadership in healthcare innovation.


See you tomorrow!

Hello everyone and welcome to PharmaMinds,

2
00:00:03.612 --> 00:00:08.157
the podcast that takes you behind the scenes with the leading figures in the pharma world.

3
00:00:08.278 --> 00:00:08.653
New week,

4
00:00:08.793 --> 00:00:09.473
new episode,

5
00:00:09.614 --> 00:00:14.184
and here's a sneak peek of the conversation you can catch online starting tomorrow.

6
00:00:15.161 --> 00:00:19.942
There are hundreds and if not thousands of new molecular entities,

7
00:00:19.943 --> 00:00:24.535
so new drugs that are phase 2 plus and are not partners.

8
00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:28.100
And we see this big wave of innovation,

9
00:00:28.141 --> 00:00:30.223
which is absolutely great news for patients.

10
00:00:32.063 --> 00:00:36.199
It's getting through a lot of disease with no treatment at the moment,

11
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.426
a lot of often a lot of neglected diseases.

12
00:00:40.762 --> 00:00:42.231
And when you look at the statistics,

13
00:00:42.246 --> 00:00:43.137
and it's not my statistics,

14
00:00:43.168 --> 00:00:44.324
it's QVR statistics,

15
00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:50.621
there are more than 100 drugs that have been launched in the US in the last five years that are not in Europe,

16
00:00:50.731 --> 00:00:50.965
right?

17
00:00:51.106 --> 00:00:54.403
And we see this number is very constantly growing.

18
00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:55.941
Unfortunately,

19
00:00:56.881 --> 00:00:59.004
and it means just it's as simple as that,

20
00:00:59.005 --> 00:01:05.268
is that patients in Europe are not treated the same way as in the US and have not access to the same type of drug rights.

21
00:01:05.549 --> 00:01:08.533
And here we're really talking about new molecular entities.

22
00:01:08.534 --> 00:01:09.112
So not even,

23
00:01:10.455 --> 00:01:10.697
you know,

24
00:01:11.057 --> 00:01:13.994
similar or generics or things like that.

25
00:01:14.322 --> 00:01:15.494
