SITUATION

A clinical stage biopharmaceutical company is preparing to launch its first FDA-approved treatment – a 2L targeted therapy for a hematological malignancy. The molecule’s success hinges on the company’s ability to build HCP awareness of a new biomarker, test for/recognize the relevant target patient and ultimately incorporate the molecule into their treatment paradigm.

SOLUTION

To define the biomarker testing landscape, we implemented moderator-guided quantitative interviews with physicians.

This methodology provided both projectable data as well as rich open-ends responses to co-create solutions and provide deeper insight.

RESULTS

The research:

  • Quantified existing and likely future biomarker testing practices

  • Prioritized key testing barriers including various logistical challenges

  • Provided qualitative insight that:

    • Explained rationale behind behaviors

    • Offered HCP perspective on how to improve testing education

IMPACT

Client used the research to:

  • Finetune a testing related strategic imperative 

  • Formulate relevant pre and post launch testing KPIs

  • Finalize various marketing decisions to support testing including:

    • Moving forward with an unbranded education campaign using study insights to design messaging.
