Immuno-Oncology Treatment Rationale and Leaders in Oncology Wish-List

There are certain driving factors to approaching immuno-oncology (IO) that leaders in oncology care about over others when making prescribing decisions about life-saving cancer treatments. 

Leaders in oncologyIn one MDOutlook survey from a few years ago with 100 leaders in oncology across the U.S. and Europe, for example, we found that the factors most driving usage for IO treatments among leaders in oncology were efficacy and quality of life benefits. Those were followed by label safety and availability of biomarkers. Interestingly, the data showed that U.S. oncologists put more stress on the rate of disease progression compared with their peers in Europe.

Oncologists shared with us that information about efficacy is their most desired area for improvement by pharma companies. Information on side effects and use in expanded indications for earlier disease were preferred more by European physicians, while U.S. colleagues stressed more focus on quality of life and real-world evidence. 

MDOutlook can tap its extensive community of more than 140,000 experts and treaters in oncology, hematology and complex rare diseases, to conduct hyper-targeted studies, like the IO study above. Through rapid market insights and precision targeting, we provide pharma brands with critical information that can guide their treatment development and marketing strategies in real time. 

How Hyper-Targeted Market Research Engages Leaders in Oncology 

When working with a reliable agency partner such as MDOutlook that has valuable industry experience, technology tools that support pharma marketing, and access to hundreds of thousands of clinicians, life sciences companies can begin asking leaders in oncology the right questions and tap into shifting industry trends in real time. 

MDOutlook’s engagement platform provides clients with granular oncology market research about the catalysts driving industry momentum. Life science marketing teams can use engagement tools such as studies and polls to understand how the physicians responsible for prescribing decisions are perceiving treatments. 

In this highly competitive marketplace, it is essential for brand differentiation to hyper-target HCPs with focused research questions. MDOutlook provides pharma companies with a cauldron of market research and engagement tools that can be used to understand how leaders in oncology are responding to market dynamics.

By building niche studies that engage these clinicians, our clients begin to understand the granularities of market sentiment and can begin to tweak development and marketing strategies as new dynamics, trends and developments unfold in order to maximize their return on investment. 

When using a robust research and engagement platform, such as MDOutlook’s Lumineer, expect to see features such as: 

  • Targeted digital research capabilities
  • Access to leaders in oncology
  • Precision insights 
  • Virtual education programs

MDOutlook’s powerful suite of tools help brands build effective HCP engagement strategies targeted at the treaters who are responsible for prescribing decisions in oncology, hematology, and rare disease.

The more information at a pharma team’s disposal, the more efficient and effective their outreach, market research, development and marketing. When life sciences marketers can approach leaders in oncology with intelligent talking points, survey questions, and interactive educational touchpoints, they can engage oncologists with limited time in meaningful dialogue and ultimately improve patient outcomes and sales. 

Hyper-Targeting Leaders in Oncology

A robust engagement platform, such as Lumineer, can provide companies with extensive search filters to deliver precision insights about the way leaders in oncology are thinking about different cancer trends, studies and treatments. 

In the IO study, for example, MDOutlook leveraged its engagement platform to rapidly identify, reach and survey leaders in oncology. This resulted in rapid, hyper-targeted insights about the features of IO treatments that are highest on oncologists’ wish-lists.

Mastering Virtual Conference Data Presentation Impact

With ASCO announcing their inaugural virtual program last week and ahead of other major oncology and hematology conferences (such as EHA) moving online, client appetite for planning their activities have not abated in hiring us to measure impact of their data announcement activity in the current “new norm”.

Have you planned measurement of your upcoming virtual conference activity?

Irrespective of the meeting format, measuring data announcement impact is more important than ever. With the deluge of scientific data presentations planned, clients are eager to assess the effectiveness of the virtual conference format and assess the impact of their activities in breaking through the competitive noise. Through access to the largest validated global online community of 130,000+ ThoughtLeaders and treaters (in oncology, hematology and complex rare diseases) are we able to get to your core targets to evaluate whether announcements change oncologists’ behavior and estimate how a data presentation influences their future treatment decisions and clinical practice.

Be the first to know!

Clients often find themselves in a situation where they need to quickly understand the implications of their own and competitors’ conference data announcements. For one of our clients we recruited 500 oncologists across 30 countries within a week of the conference via our agile ONCpulseTM research service. Timely access to the results allowed our client to confidently react quickly to our insights! Often, we are the first to offer in-depth results after a congress.

Client feedback

“Rapid results allowed us to adapt our commercialization plans for the following year and assess success of our own data announcements. This is very useful for us in light of next year’s planning”.

Tracking your impact post conference matters

Whilst measuring conference impact is important, tracking follow-up activity from a conference is of even greater importance and should not be overlooked when assessing the influence and reach of your messages. In the current “new-norm”, these channels for communication will be less affected!

Conference data announcements speak volumes and the virtual format will similarly be as impactful. However, the importance of measuring follow-up and impact from messaging activity post-conference is neatly highlighted from a client survey of 147 US oncologists in showing little difference with attention captured at conferences when compared to post-conferences.

About half (n=75) of US oncologists who did not attend the conference rated their awareness of the news as relatively high. Nearly two-thirds of academic non-attendees rated their awareness of conference results as high or very high and by comparison, still almost half of US community oncologists rated their level of awareness on a similar basis. We must not forget that non-attendees choice for staying up-to-date of information post conference will in most cases be via digital communication channels and least affected by the current situation.
