HB-204 Eczema Pill: Should a pharma company in-license an eczema pill?
A life sciences commercial assessment: size the patients, work out the share a goal needs, then judge the product, the order of ClearView's own inhaled insulin practice case. The full version is a library deal-screening case about an acquisition in digital healthcare, a different industry but the same screening logic. ClearView (opens in a new tab), read
1Step 1: Read the case
Halden Bio, a mid-sized pharmaceutical company, is considering a licence to HB-204, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate-to-severe eczema that has finished its late-stage trials. The licensor wants a large upfront payment. Before anyone values the deal, the client's head of business development asks you: is the opportunity big enough to pursue, and what would you look at first?
2Step 2: Ask clarifying questions
Open a question to hear the interviewer's answer.
Where is the drug in development?
Interviewer: Late-stage trials are complete and approval is expected in about eighteen months.
Which geography should I size?
Interviewer: The US only for this first pass.
What do you mean by the size of the opportunity?
Interviewer: Peak annual net revenue, once uptake has matured, about five years after launch.
What treatments do patients use today?
Interviewer: Moderate-to-severe patients use prescription creams, several injectable biologics and two other pills. Trial efficacy for HB-204 is similar to the injectables.
Is there anything in the label that limits use?
Interviewer: Yes. Patients need regular blood tests to monitor liver function, which the injectables do not require.
3Step 3: Structure your answer
Take two minutes. Lay out how you would size the peak US revenue for HB-204 and how you would judge whether the product can win that share.
2:00
Show what a strong structure covers
Plays the question back: peak US net revenue for one pill in one disease, as a first screen before any valuation of the deal.
Builds the patient funnel step by step: adults, those with moderate-to-severe disease, those on prescription therapy, then those who would take this pill.
Turns patients into revenue with a yearly net price after discounts, and says gross price is not the number to use.
Judges the share the product can win by comparing it with today's options on efficacy, safety, convenience and price, including the liver monitoring requirement.
Names what would change the answer: payer coverage, competitor launches and how long patients stay on therapy.
Ends with a clear plan: a number, a yes or no on pursuing the licence, and the first diligence question.
4Step 4: The interviewer's next question
Adults with moderate-to-severe eczema number about 5 million, and 40% of them are on prescription therapy. HB-204 is expected to win 5% of those patients at a net price of 8,000 dollars a year. What is peak revenue?
Show what a strong answer does
Patients on therapy first: 5 million × 40% = 2 million, then × 5% = 100,000 patients on HB-204, then × 8,000 dollars = 800 million dollars a year. A strong answer says each step out loud, sanity-checks the share against the product's edge and its monitoring burden, and says what it would ask about payers before trusting the number.
Flour costs rose 18% on a $4M flour bill, and prices went up 3% on $20M of sales. How much margin did Harbor lose?
Your answer
Flour went up by about $720K and the price rise brings in $600K, so the net hit is roughly $100K.
What worked
Split the change into a cost side and a price side before adding them up.
Could improve
$720K minus $600K is $120K, not $100K: state the exact net before rounding.
Model answer
Flour: 18% of $4M is $720K more cost. Price: 3% of $20M is $600K more revenue. Net margin loss: $120K.
Next time, say this
Cost is up $720K and price brings back $600K, so Harbor loses $120K of margin.

Worked: Practice case 1: inhaled insulin, in ClearView's lettered questions: market size, share required, product factors, then the verdict
A mid-sized pharmaceutical client is developing an inhaled insulin for diabetes and wants peak US revenue of 300 million dollars a year. ClearView asks whether that goal is realistic, which means sizing today's insulin market and judging what drives the product's success. Read the official case (opens in a new tab)(read )
How you might work it is ours, not ClearView's answer key.
1
Play it back
One product, one country, one revenue goal, one question: is it realistic. Say that the goal turns into a share of a market, so the market has to be sized first.
2
Build the patient funnel
Start from the people with the disease and narrow: how many, in which types, how many diagnosed, how many treated with insulin. Write each assumption down as you go and keep the two disease types apart, since their rates differ.
3
Turn patients into dollars, then into a share
Multiply treated patients by a yearly price per patient, then divide the revenue goal by the market. The page gives the inputs; run the arithmetic yourself and say each line out loud before you open ClearView's answer.
4
Judge the product against today's options
Compare the product with injected insulin on efficacy, safety, convenience, price, how fast it works and variation between patients. Say which of these the page's findings help or hurt, and which you would still ask about.
5
Commit to a verdict
Answer yes or no on whether the share is reachable, give the one or two facts that drive it and say what new information would change your view. ClearView asks for a stake in the ground, with flexibility.

The ClearView interview process, and what trains each step
1
Application by entry route
ClearView hires analysts and interns from life sciences degrees (US applications open in July, UK in September), consultants mainly through its three-day Connect to ClearView program for PhD, post-doc and MD candidates, and senior consultants and experienced hires by role. Its pages show 2025 dates for Connect to ClearView, so check the current cycle.
For Connect to ClearView, ClearView says selected applicants are notified within one week of the close date and then complete two virtual interviews with its Consultant Recruiting Team, one case and one behavioral, and may be asked why they want the program. Its undergraduate and experienced-hire pages do not describe the interviews.
ClearView points candidates to its two practice cases and says to listen and write down what the interviewer shares, build a framework tailored to the question, ask clarifying questions, talk through your thinking and be willing to put a stake in the ground while staying flexible when new information arrives.
ClearView asks you to think about the competencies that make a strong consultant and to be ready to discuss your past experience and how it relates to the role.
For in-person rounds ClearView says to dress business formal and bring pen and paper for the case. It does not say how many in-person rounds there are or how long each lasts.
Missing from ClearView's pages: how long each interview lasts, who leads the case, how answers are scored, how many in-person rounds there are, whether there is an online test, what the undergraduate and experienced-hire interviews look like, current Connect to ClearView dates, and when offers are made.
11 ClearView-style interview questions
In our words, not ClearView's, grouped by the kinds of question ClearView's practice cases and candidate reports point to, with what a strong answer does.
Market sizing and the share a goal needs
ClearView's first practice case: size the market, then work out the share a revenue goal requires.
1A biotech wants 400 million dollars of peak US revenue from a once-weekly injection for severe asthma. Is that realistic? Lay out how you would find out.
What a strong answer does: Builds the patient funnel from people with severe asthma to those on advanced therapy, adds a yearly net price, divides the goal by the market to get the share needed and then asks whether the product's edge could earn it.
2About how many new cases of a rare blood cancer are diagnosed in the US each year, if incidence is ten times higher over age sixty than under it?
What a strong answer does: Splits the population by age, applies each incidence rate, adds the groups and says what share of those patients would actually be treated before calling it addressable.
ClearView's second practice case: where a therapy fits and how to think about several assets in one disease.
3A client has three early-stage drugs for the same disease. How do you decide which to advance, and what is the risk of advancing all three?
What a strong answer does: Scores each asset on likelihood of success, differentiation and market value, notes that several assets raise the chance one succeeds but add cost and can split a small patient group, and recommends a sequence.
4Where in a patient's treatment journey would a new therapy fit best, and how would you decide?
What a strong answer does: Lays out the stages of care, matches the drug's mechanism and safety to the stage where it adds most, and names the evidence that would change the choice.
Candidates report market opportunity and acquisition cases; this is the business development and licensing type.
5A client is deciding whether to license a drug that has finished its mid-stage trials. What do you look at before it makes an offer?
What a strong answer does: Covers the size of the patient market, the product against today's treatments, the chance of approval, the cost to get there, and what the client could pay and still earn a return.
6A pharma company has cash for two of four projects. How do you choose?
What a strong answer does: Compares each project's value for the capital it needs, tests the combinations that fit the budget, checks risk and what is left over, and recommends one portfolio.
ClearView says its clients include medical device and diagnostics companies as well as pharma and biotech.
7A company has built a cloud records system for hospitals. How should it set the price?
What a strong answer does: Segments hospitals by size and willingness to pay, tests price points against the revenue each would earn and against competitors, and says when tiered pricing helps.
8A for-profit hospital charges a fixed fee on arrival and loses money. What is driving the loss?
What a strong answer does: Splits profit into revenue and cost per patient, finds which patient groups cost more than the fee, and tests shorter stays as the lever before recommending.
Candidates report quantitative follow-ups that build on the first number.
9A chart shows a drug's share of a market falling from 30% to 22% while the market grows from 8 billion to 11 billion dollars. Did its sales fall?
What a strong answer does: Multiplies share by market size for each year (about 2.4 billion, then about 2.4 billion) before answering, and says sales were roughly flat even though the share fell.
ClearView: think about the competencies that make a strong consultant and how your experience relates to the role.
10Why life sciences consulting, and why ClearView?
What a strong answer does: Names something specific about ClearView's life sciences focus, such as its project length or service areas, ties it to something you have done in science, and takes under a minute.
11Tell me about a time you used data or evidence to change someone's mind.
What a strong answer does: Sets the situation in one sentence, says what you did and what the evidence showed, gives the result with a number and says what you would do differently.

Sizing without a share

How do I prepare for the ClearView case interview?
Start with the two practice cases on ClearView's own careers site, an inhaled insulin sales goal and a three-therapy acute myeloid leukemia case, and work each out loud before you open its answer. Then train what the cases test: sizing a patient population step by step, deciding how much share a goal needs, and judging a drug on its efficacy, safety and convenience. On Road to Offer a free account includes 1 full AI-graded case, and our market sizing and case math drills cover the numbers. Firm-style cases are practice cases written for Road to Offer or adapted from university consulting club casebooks, not the firm's own cases.
Where can I practice ClearView-style case interviews for free?
ClearView publishes two practice cases for free on its careers site, with answers. On Road to Offer you can run an original ClearView-style drug case in your browser on this page with no account: read it, reveal the interviewer's answers to your clarifying questions, and structure it against a timer. Then run a full case out loud with an AI interviewer; your first full case is free with a free account, no card.
What are ClearView's practice cases, and how should I use them?
There are two on ClearView's careers site. Practice case one asks whether an inhaled insulin can reach a peak US sales goal: size the current market, work out the share needed, weigh the product's strengths and weaknesses, and judge whether that share is realistic. Practice case two covers three early-stage leukemia therapies: estimate the addressable patients, choose the best treatment setting for an immuno-oncology agent, and weigh the pros and cons of several assets for one disease. Work each one cold, timed and out loud, finish with a one-line answer, then compare with ClearView's answer and redo the step you missed.
Is the ClearView case interview candidate-led or interviewer-led?
ClearView's pages do not say. Its tips ask you to build a framework tailored to the question and to ask clarifying questions, which reads as a conversation where you structure the problem, and its practice cases are lettered questions that look interviewer-led. Prepare for both: open with your own structure, and also answer one directed question at a time with a number.
How many interview rounds does ClearView have?
ClearView says only that graduate applicants to Connect to ClearView complete two virtual interviews, one case and one behavioral, and mentions in-person interviews without a count. Candidates report a first round of about thirty minutes that mixes fit questions with a case, followed by a second round of more cases or behavioral questions, with the format varying by office and year.
Do I need a life sciences background to interview at ClearView?
For most entry roles, yes in practice. ClearView lists a life sciences bachelor's or master's for analysts, an advanced life sciences degree for consultants entering through Connect to ClearView, and a demonstrated interest in the life sciences industry across its hiring pages. Its data analyst role asks for statistics or computer science instead. Be ready to say why life sciences consulting, not only consulting.
Does ClearView ask scientific questions in the case?
Its own practice case two asks which treatment setting suits an immuno-oncology agent given how it works, and ClearView's page says the reasoning matters more than the specific answer. Some candidates also report a science discussion in a later round. You are not expected to be a specialist in every disease: state the mechanism you know, reason from it to the decision and say what you would ask a clinician.
What is Connect to ClearView?
It is ClearView's three-day immersion program for PhD, post-doc and MD candidates, and the route through which it mainly hires consultants. Selected applicants are notified within a week of the close date and complete a case and a behavioral interview. ClearView's page showed 2025 dates and sessions in Newton, Massachusetts and London when read, so check the current cycle and deadlines before you plan.
What does the ClearView behavioral interview cover?
ClearView says to think about the competencies that make a strong consultant and to be ready to discuss your experience and how it relates to the role, and graduate interviews may also ask what you hope to gain from Connect to ClearView. Candidates report why consulting, why life sciences and why ClearView, plus stories told in a situation, action, result format. Road to Offer's fit practice asks the questions with follow-up probes, 1 session free with a free account.
Does ClearView have an online test?
ClearView's careers pages mention no online test. Candidates report the quantitative follow-ups inside the case as the hard part, so train mental math and chart reading rather than a test format. Road to Offer has no ClearView test simulator; the closest practice is our case math and chart drills.
What kind of work does ClearView do?
ClearView says it works only in life sciences, with seven service areas that include pharma and biotech, medtech and diagnostics, pricing and market access, launch and commercialization and investor support. Its FAQ says clients are biotech, pharmaceutical and medical device and diagnostics companies, projects last about four to six weeks and teams typically have four to six people. That is why its cases are drug market sizing and product assessment.
