Achieving Launch Excellence in Oncology
Biotechnology and pharmaceutical manufacturers are paying a high price as the Oncology market is maturing and access is increasingly restricted.
As a result, commercial challenges arise to adapt to new realities when it comes to launch.
What are the rules of the game? What are the key success factors? How should companies prepare to plan and execute a successful launch strategy in Oncology?
Building on IMS' previous Launch Excellence studies (2007, 2008 and 2009), the IMS Global Oncology Launch Excellenceâ„¢ study examines how the Oncology world has evolved and what are the implications for launch. IMS has looked at some of the most significant targeted therapies launched and interviewed experts in the field to understand what drove success and how these drivers differ from other therapy areas.
Please join our IMS Oncology Launch Excellence expert Wolfram Lux, Principal, IMS Management Consulting for this exclusive briefing on this study and take away learnings on how to improve Oncology launches for your organisation.
