Navigating through the complexities of RWE analysis

Home / Products / Trinity EvidenceFirstTM

Life sciences companies strive to make real-world evidence (RWE) a routine part of their decision-making process, but face challenges optimizing their use of real-world data (RWD).

Trinity’s EvidenceFirst offerings deliver meaningful RWE solutions by providing an experienced partner to work alongside life sciences leaders, with the context to flexibly implement built-for-purpose insights – and to draw on the appropriate data assets, from each company’s existing array of data resources to Trinity’s unique in-house data portfolio.

Trinity EvidenceFirst generates consistent, actionable real-world insights that ultimately allow life sciences organizations to answer critical questions, including:

  • Who are the patients?
  • Where do you find them?
  • How are they treated?
  • What are their outcomes?

With EvidenceFirst, life sciences companies can back commercial decision-making with real-world data (RWD) under circumstances and timeframes that previously were not realistic.

  • Market and Therapy Area Landscape Assessment

    New Product Planning leaders often need to make quick business development decisions—inputs into those decisions, like sizing patient populations and defining the disease and market landscape, need to be available in weeks to be useful.

    Early commercial assessments often need to balance available resource with optimal analysis level, as teams may not own relevant data or have the budget for a custom analytical project.

    With EvidenceFirst, life sciences companies can back commercial decision-making with real-world data (RWD) under circumstances and timeframes that weren’t previously realistic.

    • Data-driven insights across a range of key business needs are delivered within 2 weeks.

  • Evidence-Based Value Arguments

    For HEOR leaders focusing on evidence planning, evidence generation and scientific dissemination, RWE provides a solid foundation that allows them to address their key research questions around the patient, burden of illness and therapy/treatment landscape. The core challenge is two-fold:

    • Pre-launch — demonstrate and measure unmet needs in the current marketplace to pave the way for the upcoming launch
    • Peri-launch/On-Market Support — articulate the measurable value of your asset and differentiate it to ensure a successful market access and reimbursement strategy

    With EvidenceFirst, HEOR teams can generate robust publication-quality RWE to uncover unmet needs in the market, inform the launch strategy, drive Payer Communications and Medical Education and identify specific evidence to provide model inputs for Cost of Care models, Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEAs) and Budget Impact Models (BIMs).

    • EvidenceFirst’s flexibility drives accuracy and confidence in identifying the right patients by using the most appropriate data assets and analytics for the specific needs of each question, including Trinity’s unique network of direct data access.
    • Trinity’s integrated approach allows clients to tap into dedicated, experienced HEOR and RWE teams for support across the product lifecycle.

    EvidenceFirst provides thoughtfully designed, customized RWE that allows clients to provide insights on key HEOR topics:

    • Epidemiology
    • Patient identification and characterization
    • Therapy use, LOT, switch behavior and discontinuation
