REPORT OVERVIEW

HOW YOU CAN USE THIS REPORT

Biopharmaceutical research companies efforts to bring new, more effective treatments to market represent the world’s best hopes to provide oncologists with the drugs needed to give cancer patients longer, healthier lives and reduce the burden of the disease on society. To garner awareness, interest, and trial for any of oncological medications in development in the highly competitive US cancer drug market, biopharmaceutical manufacturers must develop sales/ information strategies that best serve oncologists’ needs. These strategies will certainly employ Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) in addition to traditional sales representatives. ISR’s Medical Science Liaison in Oncology offers insights into how oncologists engage with 20 biopharmaceutical manufacturer’s MSLs. This report contains critical knowledge on how manufacturers can best engage oncologists in a drug’s story.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACCESS

ISR knows oncologists must manage their time wisely to treat patients, manage their business, and learn about new medications. In this report, ISR establishes the level of restrictions oncologists place between themselves and MSLs/ Pharmaceutical sales representatives. Data on visit recency and duration are also described. ISR also looks at oncologists preferred sales channel for receiving information about first-in-class medications, novel MOAs, and follow-on oncology products.

C L O S E R L O O K

Understand the various types of restrictions MSLs will face, from requirements to set up meeting times, to restrictions on duration and number of meetings, to the need to demonstrate a non-sales agenda
