Evidence, Access & Pricing

Evidence Strategy (HEOR)

A dedicated team of Subject-Matter Experts to build evidence, drive scientific and medical education, support value-based pricing and achieve favorable market access

Home / Services / Evidence, Access & Pricing / Evidence Strategy (HEOR)

Proven expertise in high-impact, high-value therapies with high unmet need across Pharma, Biotech and MedTech

Deep familiarity with first-to-market launches, especially in life-saving therapies for pediatric conditions and rare diseases

Creative and impactful evidence generation that differentiates products in crowded, competitive therapeutic areas (TAs)

Stellar track record in conducting RWE studies, successfully bringing them to publication and pull-through to support Market Access and Strategic Pricing

Clear demonstration of prior success in driving access for patients and reducing payer barriers for approval

In today’s global life sciences marketplace, the role and value of evidence is unquestionable. Novel therapies—many of which might be high-value therapeutics and/or specialty drugs—will need compelling evidence to persuade physicians to write the script and payers to provide access to label.

Pre-launch, clients need to characterize the disease landscape, identify unmet needs, create pre-launch medical education and conduct market-shaping activities.

Post-launch, therapies will need to continue to produce evidence of real-world value. Compelling evidence is especially needed in crowded, highly competitive TAs to demonstrate differential value versus other therapies.

Without high-quality evidence, commercial objectives suffer—market access can be sub-optimal, KOL advocacy can be weak and the product’s potential could be severely limited.

Trinity Evidence Strategy helps clients demonstrate the holistic value of their assets across the product lifecycle by leveraging a best-in-class methodological approach powered by technology and scientifically-driven, publication-quality primary and secondary research.
