WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR LATE PHASE-SPECIFIC PARTNERSHIPS?

• More scope for study and portfolio optimization due to heterogeneity of late phase study designs and stakeholders

• Lack of well developed approach to non-interventional, HEOR and other types of late phase study types in many pharmaceutical companies

• Continuing cost pressures require new solutions to evidence generation

• Use of emerging late phase technologies requires longer time frames, expertise and intimate collaboration

Dedicated OR Experts (Portfolio Director, Epi, SME, Operations Lead) plus additional expertise

(Medical, HERON, MedCom, etc.)

Best way to generate the data (Study? Survey? EHR? Hybrid)

Fit-for-purpose study design andoperational model

Optimise study budget and timeline and ensure meaningful

data

What type of Information

will be collected?

Why are we conducting this study?

Who should participate –

sites and patients?

• Regulatory mandate?• Information for payors?• Assess standard of care?• Publications?• Achieve a leadership position?

• Effectiveness?• Safety?• Adherence?• QoL?• Healthcare utilization?• Prospective, retrospective or a combination?

PRXL Optimization ApproachObjectives

• “Real world” practitioners?• KOLs?• Major institutions, clinical,

managed care, etc?

STUDY OPTIMIZATION REQUIRES EARLY ENGAGEMENT FOR MAXIMUM VALUE

CASE STUDY: ALTERNATIVES TO ORIGINAL DESIGNProtocol

Much more data than mandated by the agency

Revision with focus on need to have data

Decreases the amount of data entry, data review, site burden and visits

Operational Model

Many visits per site, regular visit schedule, heavy SDV

Pool of for cause visits, online data review, remote ‘visits’, and focused data collection

On-site visits not the first approach – remote site management supported by in person when necessary.

Site Burden

Heavy data collection that stays constant over multiple years

Titrate collection down after year 1 as value of incremental longitudinal data drops in the relevant population

Minimal site requirements and “ just in time” management- leads to improved compliance, positive experience

Site Relationship

Nothing explicit

Regular engagement with affiliate and development of an affiliate platform to support site relationship building

Allows for explicit role for MSL and affiliate in study

SUMMARY

• Taking a broader view of late phase outsourcing enables new sources of value to be unlocked

• Special late phase needs for expertise and flexibility in approach are well suited to partnership relationship structures

• Deeper partnerships enable more opportunities for optimization
