Pharma digital marketing has been lagging behind key trends for a long while. Let’s face it, pharma organizations are not made for speed while digital marketing is all about “now” Digital marketing is also about experimentation and learning from successes as well as failures. An internal team of consultants, dedicated to digital, can add a lot of value to a company.

Most of us cut our teeth in a business world where you at least had a cubicle wall between you and your co-worker. Picture it: you finally reach the point where you are about to get your own office, you’ve watched others get an office, you’ve pined for an office. You’ve picked out the wall color, the pictures, the plant you will put on your desk, and as you start to pack up your cubicle your boss calls you into her own office to tell you, “We are moving to open space!

It all started some 30 years ago. Minimally invasive procedures were relatively new to the surgical environment. These procedures were and are game-changers in the treatment of patients requiring certain surgical interventions. The issue in the early days was that these valuable procedures were very disruptive to the clinical staff. Most of the clinicians had never had any experience with monitors, scopes, cameras, RGB cords, etc.

The pharmaceutical industry has been under pressure for the past decade to change its go-to-market models. While the industry has attempted change, any change to its approach has been guarded.

In office/in person sales promotion, the staple of pharmaceutical company activities, is simply not possible today with interactions reduced to the spor

What will the future hold for clinical research? A recent draft from the FDA provides valuable insight. In "Optimizing the Dosage of Human Prescription Drugs and Biological Products for the Treatment of Oncologic Diseases," the FDA notes that "targeted therapies demonstrate different dose-response relationships compared to cytotoxic chemotherapy, such that doses below the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) may have similar efficacy to the MTD but with fewer toxicities.

IN SUMMARY : When patients return to doctor’s offices will HCP’s have time to go online with every drug company that requests an online detail?

While most offices remain closed pharma is preparing for the launch of new products and has to have the infrastructure to ensure a successful launch.

R&D has been replaced with acquisitions. The latest is J&J’s deal to buy out Momenta for $6.5 billion. This week alone Sanofi, BMS, and other big pharma companies have spent billions on the purchase of smaller, promising companies who have drugs that could lead to happy investors. Drug companies have slowed their stock buybacks after the Covid-19 crisis and spent their money instead on buying each other.

When selecting a clinical supply provider, consideration often focuses upon the manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution capabilities available that will, at face-value, be sufficient to meet the needs of the sponsor and their trial. However, there are human-based and knowledge-driven factors that are often overlooked that go beyond these basic physical capabilities and are integral to the development and delivery of high performing clinical supply chains.

Personally I would want to know as much as I can before I ask for the vaccine but I also know that greed can make people do stupid things and there is a lot of money at stake here. The rush to develop a COVID-19 vaccine is well underway because there are billions of dollars in profits at stake.
