Use cases for Rapid Payer Research

Business development and licensing (BD&L)

A pharmaceutical company is considering acquiring or licensing a late-stage drug candidate from a biotechnology firm to expand its portfolio. The company’s BD&L team needs to evaluate the potential acquisition or licensing opportunity to promptly make a go/no-go decision.

Rapid Payer Research can support due diligence activities through:

  • Gathering insights into payer attitudes, coverage policies, and reimbursement expectations for similar therapies in the target therapeutic area.
  • Comparing the market access profile of the drug candidate with competing therapies already on the market or in late-stage development.
  • Testing the drug candidate’s differentiation, value proposition and access advantages compared to existing treatments.
  • Analysing pricing benchmarks, evidence requirements, and payer decision drivers for the target indication.
  • Testing potential pricing and assessing reimbursement challenges.

Early development phase

Rapid Payer Research can help early-stage planning and decision-making with:

  • Understanding unmet needs and payer evidence expectations to inform evidence generation plans that incorporate the asset’s Market Access strategy.
