- Is differentiation possible or even necessary in the biosimilars market? Although the impetus for a biosimilar development originally might have been solely economic, we argue thatmmanufacturers should devise a value proposition for biosimilars that moves beyond price, demonstrating value to payers, physicians, and patients.
- Presenting a unifying value framework as a guiding tool for biosimilar manufacturers supporting internal processes - for example: Building internal business cases for differentiating concepts with the end goal to develop a value-enhancing strategy.

- The US is essentially a “secondary” market for biosimilars; as such, what can be learned from other markets?
- The business model for biosimilars, neither branded or generic products, is likely to be different in the US than in other markets, especially when it comes to pricing. How will business models be structured and operate?
- With only 5 applications and 1 approval to date, there isn’t yet a clear regulatory pathway for biosimilars in the US. What might that pathway look like when more fully developed?
- With originators of branded products making more defensive manoeuvres in the US than in other countries, lifecycle management of biosimilars is likely to be different in the US than elsewhere. What differences will there be?

How do we avoid the greatest threat to carefully crafted medical strategy – the inevitable boiling down of delicately nuanced arguments into bullet points, charts and tables? To the outside observer it appears to be largely generic and is hardly reassuring to senior stakeholders who must bless it, or clear to those who must ultimately implement it. This presentation will discuss how to create and communicate your medical strategy in a way that informs and inspires the reader.

Research questions around real-world evidence development can include a breadth of evidence needs including the prevalence, clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and effect, etc. of a given cohort and/or sub-cohort. Addressing the question(s) can be complicated by the size/characteristics of the cohort and the complexities of the health system. Consequently, we propose a practical and feasible approach to assessing study design options which we believe will meet both the research objectives as well as consider the realities of timelines and budget constraints. We will discuss a number of options for study design and cohort identification, including use of administrative claims and/or electronic healthcare records, sitebased recruitment, and web-survey panelists. We will identify a set of common methodological challenges and discuss the relative strengths of each approach in addressing these issues.

Life sciences organisations need to dramatically reduce analytics time and speed up clinical interventions, but most still rely on shipping physical disks due to inherent problems with existing networks and transfer protocol inefficiencies. Spending days to transport data is not a viable option, this session will explore technology infrastructure for file transfer that will catalyse the transition from 1GbE to 10GbE and beyond.
- Enabling geographically distributed collaborative teams to exchange huge data sets at maximum speed, regardless of distance and network conditions.
- Utilising proven, secure and reliable transfer technology, widely adopted for business-critical data movement.
- Transferring large data sets, including next-generation genomic sequencing sets, amounting to hundreds of gigabytes.

The MedTech industry is at an inflection point. Healthcare providers at every level are professionalising their procurement and creating tectonic shifts in their demands on your pricing, sales, and tendering and contracting operations. While the industry appears to be aware of these shifts and what the impacts will be, many MedTech companies are struggling to identify and prioritise the changes they need to make to stay ahead of these trends without sacrificing revenue or growth.

- In the context of spending constraints, and aggressive go-tomarket timelines, the generation of compelling real world evidence of the effectiveness, safety and value of a novel therapy or medical device has never been more challenging.
- Peri- and post-approval evidence requirements, which vary markedly across countries, are increasingly demanding both in terms of data needs, and total research and development cost.
- To navigate this reality, a comprehensive evidence development plan that systematically identifies gaps, and organises and prioritises a synergistic program of scientifically robust real world studies in support of market access is of paramount importance.
- An evidence development plan that is based on a thoughtful and stepwise multi-national data and feasibility assessment strategy, will result in the right evidence to support a product’s value proposition while optimising cost savings and timeline efficiencies.
- Data strategy and feasibility assessment case studies alongside a roadmap for cost and timeline savings in the context of technology enabled programs of research will be presented.

Market access is value contextual, thus using RWE to secure appropriate market access allows evidence to reflect effectiveness in the real world where protocols may not be followed, patients don’t take their medications, and where every population is viewed as unique requiring data to reflect that specific population . This presentation walks through the reality of developing RWE for an EUmarketed, post-anaesthesia medication using a retrospective observational study format and demonstrates the importance of thinking carefully about your strategy (the benefits, risks, costs and mitigations) before embarking.

A plethora of studies suggest that an astonishing 50 – 75% of all CRM implementations fail in some form. So we started our KOL CRM development programme with the assumption “why should ours be any different?” Our two-year case study highlights the many challenges we (vendor & our clients) encountered in the medical affairs context, our many failings, and the innovations we built to overcome them. We’ll also present a simple framework for Medical Affairs to help maximise the success of CRM implementations to boost external expert management.
