China Pharma Market Access (CPMA)
Since the establishment of the China National Medical Insurance Bureau in 2018, the goal has been to strengthen public health and medical service levels, achieve maximum utilisation of the national medical insurance fund, and to enhance the strategic purchasing capability of medical insurance funds. Significant tools in achieving this are the National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) and drug Volume Based Procurement (VBP), which have opened a new chapter in China’s medical reform. Meanwhile, the new drug registration process is improved, simplified, and accelerated.
Maximise product value through Medical Insights
Medical Insights is emerging as a transformative organisational capability within Medical Affairs that aims to capture real-world insights through medical channels and use them to maximise product and portfolio value.
Overview of current policy for rare disease in China
For the first time after decades of negligence in this area, China published the First List of Rare Diseases (FLRDs). This was a key step in improving and standardising the regulatory system of rare disease management, orphan drug development, and review and approval.
HIV/AIDS
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that is responsible for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV continues to be a major global public health issue having claimed the lives of 36.3 million people so far, according to World Health Organization (WHO).
Deallus Workshops: providing competitive advantage through Competitive Simulation
Competitive Simulation, also known as Competitive Strategy or ‘Wargaming’ workshops, account for roughly 85% of the workshops that Deallus run. We have developed a detailed and comprehensive workshop playbook that ensures our teams are well-prepared and well-versed with a set of tools ready to run your sessions.
The future for telehealth and neuroscience in the US
Catalyzed by Covid-19, the accelerated uptake of virtual services within neuroscience has set in motion a reimagining of future healthcare pathways. The new post-pandemic reality is a hybrid virtual/in-person approach for many neurological and psychiatric conditions - driving rapid regulatory change, reduced delivery costs, and improved patient access.
Disruption has hit pharma
Strategic intelligence for a fiercely competitive marketplace. In the pharmaceutical industry, change has long been known as the only constant. But the last few years have seen the industry challenged and reshaped by drastic internal disruption and external paradigm shifts. Deallus look at key changes in the pharma landscape through the lens of strategic intelligence, and considers how this powerful tool can help pharma stakeholders grasp the full picture of the competitive environment they intend to enter.
CARe To Understand What Will Shape CAR T’s Future?
CAR T-cell therapies space is complex, highly competitive, and quickly evolving. Add the pandemic to the mix and the logistical, reimbursement, and pricing landscape grows even more complicated. In this in-depth paper we research the current state of CAR T-cell therapies and speculate on the factors currently making the largest impact - China, Commercialization, and COVID-19. Read more for a comprehensive, well-researched take on the space.
The Future of JAK Inhibitors
From blockbuster drugs to black box warnings, Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKs) have seen dramatic highs and lows in their journey to market access across the last few years. Yet despite the hurdles, JAKs are facing, pharma’s conviction in their potential to generate a paradigm shift in patient care means R&D activity and interest remains undaunted. Will JAK inhibitors triumph over persisting regulatory roadblocks to offer patients a new treatment option? In this white paper, we investigate the current state of JAKs and explore their likelihood of success in the future.
Digitizing Healthcare
Healthcare has always had a reputation of being resistant to change, but consumer demand and a rapidly evolving technology-driven world have led the digitization of healthcare to move at a frantic pace. In this white paper we explore the digitization trend currently infiltrating healthcare and delve into the implications of digital health on patients, payers, and pharma itself. We take stock of the current landscape, discuss likely future trends, and explore how strategic intelligence can help answer key questions for the healthcare industry in the face of so much digital innovation.
Let’s talk about NASH
Several promising candidates are currently competing in a multi-billion-dollar race. NASH, or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, affects millions of patients world-wide and by 2020 is projected to replace hepatitis C as the number one reason for liver transplantation in the United States. Multiple drug developers have taken on the challenge and a variety of different approaches are currently in the pipeline to tackle this complex, silent disease. Now all eyes are on the finish line to see who will be the first to enter this lucrative and untapped market.
Antimicrobial Resistance
Lack of innovation surrounding the development of new antibiotics has resulted in an alarming situation, given the rising threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As a result, there is no single or straightforward way to combat AMR, nor to galvanize development of novel antibiotics. Although some positive measures have been introduced, further - and larger scale - action is needed. We take a look at what pharma and the larger healthcare industry needs to do in order to combat this looming threat.
Copay Accumulator Programs & Pharma
Dynamics between pharma and the market-based healthcare sector it serves have invariably been complex, with one of the biggest drivers of that complexity being effective management of patient demand and payer systems. The newest stratagem in this push and pull is the copay accumulator program, or CAP. We take a closer look at CAPs and how they might affect your brand in the near future.
Strategic Workshops Supporting Pharma’s Future
Pharma Strategic Workshops and Wargames are an essential strategic tool for those aiming to win in their market. Pulling on our 14+ years of expertise running and facilitating strategic workshops in the pharma industry we share our learnings in this White Paper.
Competitive Intelligence in an Agile World
Adapting competitive intelligence functions to an increasingly complex pharma landscape. This White Paper explores the concept of agile working for the pharma world, delving into the opportunities and challenges that arise for Competitive Intelligence teams and managers as working environments adapt to find success in a more dynamic, uncertain, and fast-paced environment.
Purchasing a Pipeline
Perils, pitfalls, and priorities in asset acquisition. In this White Paper, we will look at new and changing trends in pipeline acquisition, discuss difficulties inherent in the current marketplace, and offer worthwhile perspectives on pitfalls and opportunities based on our experience offering strategic guidance to pharmaceutical companies on a global scale.
The Three A’s of Launch Readiness
Drug launch failures happen more frequently than pharma companies care to admit. Anticipate, Adapt and Align - the three A’s of successful pharma launch strategy. To understand and implement them requires strategic vision, a holistic understanding of every vagary of the marketplace, and a forthright and ruthlessly honest assessment of both the product being launched and the competitive space it is meant to occupy.
Asia Market Entry
A continent of extremes, with great potential for growth. Geographically large, the assortment of cultures, people, disease profiles, and healthcare systems added to the juxtaposition of extreme wealth and extreme poverty, emphasises the many challenges faced by the pharmaceutical companies when thinking of entering Asia. Commercial success will depend on understanding the market dynamics by consolidating positioning within the market place with the requirements of each market.
Asian Pricing and Reimbursement
Growing major trends are emerging across Asian healthcare markets. Rising incomes, increased government healthcare expenditure, higher life expectancies and a surge of chronic illnesses are boosting the demand for pharmaceutical products and services in the region. We take a look at the emerging trends across Asian healthcare systems and the implications for the industry.
