Cost of developiing DT's?

Interesting that there is no discussion of the cost of developing DT's. A typical modern drug costs in the vicinity of $1B to develop. Given the breadth and complexity of DT's, compared to developing a single drug intended for a single application, the costs of developing DTs will be significantly higher. Where will the (minimally) tens of billions of dollars come from?
