- 10. Start Early With Thought Leader Education & Services
Thought leaders are the bellwethers of market direction. They help companies understand where
therapeutic guidelines and practices are headed; they influence how practicing physicians respond to
new therapies. Not surprisingly, the largest response groups signaled Phase II as the kickoff to most
thought leader services. Some companies with robust pipelines and deep-standing commitment to their
therapeutic areas start thought leader services as early as pre-clinical research phases.

educating thought leaders.

- 11. Market Entry Teams “Seed & Grow” MSL Pre-Launch Coverage
The overall benchmark class seeds Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) at the start of Phase III clinical trials with
typically three liaisons to serve national thought leaders and clinical investigators. As Phase III trials
progress, this number of MSLs nearly doubles or triples each subsequent year. By launch year, the average
number of MSL has reached 26. This MSL seeding and growth pattern can be observed across most
therapeutic areas – although the staffing intensity varies somewhat across individual specialty areas.
Q24. MSL Coverage: Estimate how many field-based medical science specialists or liaisons
(MSLs) you assign during each year of the Phase III pre-launch period to a new product in a
new therapeutic area?

- 13. Oncology TA Tolerates Earlier Risk for IISs
Some organizations – particularly those working in Oncology, do investigator-initiated trials both early and
late in the development cycle. In Oncology, the life-threatening condition of many patients inspires
oncologists to conceive investigator initiated trials examining many tumor types and patient populations
that lie outside the first pivotal trials.
“Once you have confidence that
you've determined what your safety
profile is, you can act strategically
and build the right type of Phase
One-type programs from an IIT
perspective that'll allow you to
understand how you perform in other
diseases or in combination with other
agents. I guess if I was developing
an allergy medicine, that would be
one thing. But I think in cancer it's
very different. I think most oncology
organizations are willing to take a
calculated risk in some of these
areas.”

- 15. Primary Journals and Congresses Drive Publication Strategies
Benchmark partners place highest importance on publishing clinical research in primary journals and
secondary journals – along with presenting clinical research at both national and regional congresses,
and to a lesser degree on some online scientific publications. Online publications can also be important.
Some therapeutic areas place relatively greater importance on publishing in alternative channels.
Q15. Please rate the importance of publishing your clinical results in various channels:

- 17. Lower Wall Between Medical and Marketing
As the wall between Medical and Marketing has gotten higher, marketing groups no
longer understand the importance of scientific communication and how to work with
Medical to get that information published. Each group must have its autonomy – but
they must work together for the company’s benefit.
“If you separate Medical and Marketing, then who's
going to be the one basically saying whether or not
you're getting what you need out of Medical? The
reporting chain that goes all the way up through
Medical doesn't look at things that way. We went in
and Marketing did a gap analysis. They had one
primary care study publication in the three years
since launch. And they're saying, ‘Oh, we got this in
JAMA.’ And we're like, great, isn't this a primary care
drug? Yeah, well, how many primary care
publications did you….one. Well, holy cow, guys. I
think if you don't have that commercial lens…you
need Commercial and Medical looking at it from
different perspectives, and you need both. .” –

- 19. Engage Payers Early & Maintain Relations Through Launch
The overall benchmark class reflects early and continuous involvement with payers and government
agencies: They engage payers through clinical trial protocol design and needs assessment in Phase II.
Commence outcome studies in early Phase III. Then conduct Ad Boards, agency meetings and payer
pricing sensitivity in mid-Phase III. Payer education activities then accelerate late in Phase III.

payers & government agencies (Medicare/Medicaid).
