Long-Acting Intelligence

The living market intelligence system for Long-Acting Injectables.

A specialized data infrastructure for Long-Acting Injectables. A curated ontology of the niche — drugs, candidates, trademarks, delivery technologies, indications — kept current from public sources, with regulatory facts linked to their official FDA and EMA labels.

The problem

LAI information is scattered, and generalist tools treat it as a subset of injectables.

It lives across FDA filings, ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed and corporate press, and no generalist platform gives the niche a formal scope. So the work of reassembling it — source by source, name by name — falls on the analyst.

Vectora structures the niche once, as an explicit ontology — so it can be queried, not reassembled by hand.
What Vectora is

An ontology of the niche, and the flow that moves through it.

Two things kept in sync: the state of every entity in the LAI landscape, and the flow of events that changes it — each event linked back to the entities it concerns.

A curated LAI ontology

An explicit, versioned definition of the niche: which drugs, candidates, trademarks, companies and indications qualify as long-acting injectable. The scope is a documented editorial decision — reviewable, not a keyword match.

A delivery-technology taxonomy

Technologies classified across physical and chemical release families and half-life-extension mechanisms — orthogonal axes that combine. So you can isolate, say, ester prodrugs formulated as nanocrystals.

Flow and state, linked

The system captures events — trials, approvals, deals, publications — and maintains the state of each entity. Every event resolves to the players it concerns, so signals and structure stay connected.

Sourced, then structured

Regulatory facts link to their official FDA and EMA documents. Every other value is captured from public sources and resolved into one consistent ontology.

Coverage & grain

One ecosystem, modeled two ways.

Every company, marketed drug, clinical candidate, trademark, proprietary delivery technology, target and indication in the LAI field — modeled as a queryable ontology, built from public sources: FDA, EMA, ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, corporate.

Assets — map the field

Every molecule, marketed and in the pipeline.

Each asset is a molecule × delivery technology × developer. Count the landscape and segment it — by phase, technology, target or modality.

Products by market — compare what’s live

Every brand, by regulatory authority.

Each product is a brand × authority. Read the real regulatory profile — FDA against EMA, label by label.

Explore the substrate, label by label.

An interactive view of the LAI landscape. Scope a population of assets, then read it through a lens: a table, a competitive landscape, market trends over time, a positioning map — and a side-by-side compare of two to six items, FDA against EMA.

Sourced by default. Regulatory facts link to their official FDA and EMA labels — and no value is ever invented to fill a blank.

For your team

Built for the questions each team asks.

The same substrate, read through the lens of each role.

Business Development
“Who competes directly in Phase 3 schizophrenia LAIs — and who develops them?”
Competitive Intelligence
“In long-acting antipsychotics, do big pharma or specialists lead?”
Medical Affairs
“Which LAIs reach a six-month dosing interval, and in which indications?”
Regulatory
“For this brand, what differs between the FDA and the EMA label?”
Marketing
“How many approved LAIs need cold-chain storage — and in what presentations?”
R&D / Strategy
“Where are the white spaces — which technology × indication crossings have no asset yet?”
The analyst behind Vectora
Franck Issartel, PharmD

Franck Issartel, PharmD

Eleven years in pharmaceutical competitive intelligence, three of them focused on Long-Acting Injectables.

Vectora encodes that domain work — the scope, the ontology, the delivery-technology taxonomy — into the substrate itself. In a specialized field, the analysis is only as strong as the domain knowledge behind it.

You work directly with the analyst who builds and maintains the substrate — not an account manager relaying your questions.

One platform, three surfaces

Explore, monitor, produce.

One substrate feeds all three surfaces — unlocked per organization, as each one opens.
