Developing Strategies - Case study
Client
Client was an international pharmaceutical client looking for key strategic insights to guide their market access strategy.
Situation
The client was looking to develop an effective market access strategy for an antifungal therapy strategy in the EU-5, Australia and USA.
Solution
PHMR proposed a targeted Health Technology Assessment and treatment guideline review, upon which a number of detailed strategic insights would be developed with consideration for both country specific market access environments and the client’s global market access strategy.
Outcome
PHMR developed an extensive report and slide deck reviewing specific HTA systems and treatment guideline reviews. They offered key strategic insights in report form and in a comprehensive slide deck. For instance, the transparency committee of the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) of France had specific data requirements and criticisms of previous submissions. PHMR advised on the inclusion (and exclusion) of specific information critical to gaining a higher (or lower) ASMR ranking, essential to increasing sales
