Pre-launch scientific outreach accelerates treatment adoption by 40%
In a study of oncology drugs in the U.S., biopharmas that invested more in pre-launch scientific
activities, e.g., congresses, clinical trials, and publications, saw 40% faster treatment adoption than
biopharmas that invested less. A robust pre-launch scientific communications strategy optimizes
launch success by meeting HCPs and other experts where they are, on their terms.
Pre-launch field medical education improves treatment adoption by 50%. By connecting medical
affairs HQ and field medical activity and measuring impact during this critical window,
biopharmas can create the best opportunity to influence treatment adoption.
Defining scientific activity:
Non-promotional medical or scientific initiatives, including congresses, social media activity, publications,
guidelines, and clinical trials
Impact of Pre-Launch Scientific Outreach

Congress activity has the strongest influence on speed of adoption
Not all channels of scientific activity are created equal ¡ª how biopharmas reach experts can have
a measurable impact on success. Across the oncology drugs studied, higher investment in
congress activities pre-launch most strongly influenced speed to treatment adoption post-approval.
While clinical trials and publications are important foundational elements of scientific
communication, the analysis found a much lower correlation between these activities and
treatment adoption. Congresses and the digital discussions kicked off by those events (e.g.,
discussions on social media) create a halo effect that amplifies scientific information. Deep data
on KOLs and other experts can help medical affairs understand which congresses present the
best opportunity to drive scientific engagement.
Not All Channels Are Created Equal

Digitally savvy, early-career HCPs are four times more likely to adopt
a new treatment
There is significant untapped potential in early-career HCPs, who are 15 years younger, digitally
savvy, and more scientifically active than their peers. The analysis found that these emerging
experts are four times more likely to adopt a new treatment.
¡°Gone are the days when medical could just focus on the top-tier scientific thought leaders.
The range of stakeholders has broadened, and it¡¯s imperative to expand our engagement
strategies beyond traditional experts.¡±
Angela Smart, Director of Global Medical Excellence and Operations at ADVANZ PHARMA
Deep data on activities like congresses, social media posts, and publications can help identify,
prioritize, and engage these experts. Understanding this demographic¡¯s digital and scientific
behaviors, in addition to investing in the right scientific channels, can maximize treatment
adoption.
Untapped Potential of Digitally Savvy, Early-Career HCPs

Biopharmas have an opportunity to maximize launch success by:
- Coordinating the efforts of medical affairs and field medical, including sharing medical insights that improve commercial and clinical decision-making
- Benchmarking investments in scientific outreach, ensuring appropriate resources to support launch strategy, and measuring the ROI of outreach for each disease area
- Using deep data to identify, prioritize, and engage experts with targeted scientific outreach
