BUSINESS PLANNING

Ad-boards

Collective consensus – by engaging stakeholders in deliberative discussions, integrating ideas from structured dialogues, and with sustained stakeholder engagement processes – can pave the way to better solutions.

The phamax ad-board services provide independent strategic advice to steer companies on the right track and define the best development path for products. phamax addresses multifaceted challenges by tailoring its associations as per each organization’s objectives, market and culture by merging best research practices with hands-on support from its experts.

The phamax ad-board services develop an advisory board, expert group or panel as per the needs of its massive stakeholder network to guide in the development phase, therapeutic area, regulatory review preparation etc. The services:

Competitive Intelligence

We transform disaggregated information on markets and competitors into actionable insights. We combine secondary and primary research to derive information as per project objectives and scope. Our team continuously tracks the key parameters, provides regular updates (monthly/quarterly/half-yearly), develops key intelligence questions, and builds customized reports to meet specific requirements.

Sustained competitive advantage and growth
Strengths/Weaknesses of key competitor products to define the market or product strategies
Continuous insights on opportunities and threats
New technologies for business models

phamax’s structured and comprehensive CI package supports pharma companies in effective strategic, tactical and operational decisions to:

Track competition – who they are, what they do, how they think, where they want to be, and their strengths and weakness
Anticipate environmental changes, emerging threats, and opportunities in time to respond strategically
Uncover the latest trends driving the pharmaceutical industry
Profile various publicly available data sources for different types of information for easy and fast access
Develop reports with relevant information and update these regularly
Summarize financial facts
Our framework identifies relationships among various parameters and their impact on each other for vital insights

Pricing Analytics

We determine the optimal price range for products by assessing the relevant internal and external factors. We support pharmaceutical companies in effective pricing decisions using analytical modeling to decrypt the real-world complexities.

Our price mapping services:

Validate a product’s price based on its clinical profile, PLC stage, competitive landscape, and performance
Identify a product’s optimal price range by benchmarking against suitable historical analogs
Develop a market reference map based on the processes and regulations impacting the pricing decisions
Build a referencing model to quantify the impact of price changes elsewhere and adapt accordingly

Insights for the ideal product price in the market

HEOR

Health technology assessments (HTA) to reimburse a new health technology typically encompass an economic analysis. Pharmaceutical manufacturers must demonstrate the clinical and economic evidences of products to gain market access and remain competitive. Economic evidence is often generated by evaluating both costs and outcomes to prove the efficiency of a product. phamax HEOR services generate relevant evidence for products to communicate their value to stakeholders.

phamax HEOR services include:

Systematic literature reviews and meta-analysis: Our systematic literature review services answer all the important questions on efficacy, safety, quality of life and resource use. We follow the PRISMA guidelines and work with clients to define the scope of project, submit the protocol, identify databases, and shortlist articles. We critically appraise relevant research and analyse data from studies to answer the clients’ research questions and also perform meta-analysis, when required
Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO)

phamax PRO studies provide unique insights into how a therapy can affect a patient. We design studies that enable clients to capture patient perspectives on a disease/treatment under different scenarios – clinical (e.g. cure, survival), humanistic (e.g. role performance, emotional status) and economical (e.g. expenses, saving)

Economic evaluations:

Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA)
Cost-utility analysis (CUA)
Budget-impact analysis (BIA)
Burden of disease or Illness/Economic impact analysis

Our models estimate the costs and outcomes of interventions, and compare different interventions impacting the same health effects (usually measured as life years gained) and different health effects (usually measured as utility-based outcome units (QALYs)). HEOR models for economic evaluations are the new normal for favourable reimbursement decisions. Our services demonstrate the cost effectiveness of product vs. the competition to support reimbursement submissions and highlight the incremental effectiveness of products at multiple price points.

Synthesis of systematically-derived data for clinical and economic analyses
Support reimbursement decisions by evaluating the clinical and economic impact of products
Understand the impact of technologies in a real-life context and comprehend the needs and preferences of patients
Understand the quality of life aspects and measure the burden of the disease by incorporating all the costs associated with the disease/intervention
Evaluate the long-term effects (length and quality of life) of an intervention on health outcomes and ease the comparison of costs and outcomes of different interventions
Determine the impact of implementing or adopting a particular technology on a designated budget
