Launch Advantage

Optimally Launch New Products, Defend Against Competitive Launches and Manage Your Pipeline.

Successfully bringing new drugs to market requires precise information and a host of critical decisions from phase 1 through launch. The team must accurately forecast sales potential, develop the best brand positioning, determine optimal clinical endpoints and allocate resources accordingly. The livelihood of many people and the financial health of the company are at stake. You only have one chance to get it right. That is why we created LaunchAdvantageSM. So you can Know How.

Validated predictive model built from over 75 launches since 2002

At the core of LaunchAdvantage is our validated predictive model. We have surveyed physicians about their pre-launch attitudes concerning a range of influential factors (e.g., product, promotion, patient, payor) on over 75 recent new drug launches. We then mapped these stated attitudes and perceptions against physicians' actual post-launch prescribing to develop a highly accurate predictive model. We can use product profiles or survey pre-launch "aware" physicians to help you learn what you need to know. We know how and why a physician is going to prescribe before your drug is launched. Now you will too.

The resulting LaunchAdvantage portfolio of services can help you properly with:

  • Launch of new drug and new indications
  • Launch of competitive drugs
  • Licensing and co-promotion opportunities
  • Assessing pipeline drug potential
