STUDY OVERVIEW
Medical Affairs has become one of the key players in new product launches. The function oversees vital activities that span the critical periods of pre-launch, launch and post-launch.

In order to maximize its launch impact, Medical Affairs groups need to create and maintain a strategic timeline for launch activities; deploy resources at appropriate points in this timeline and ensure that launch preparedness metrics are used to make sure activities adhere to the timeline.

To examine how Medical Affairs can effectively plan and execute its role in overseeing launch timeline, resources and preparedness, Best Practices, LLC conducted a study that examines each of these critical launch components.

The first section of the study provides a qualitative overview on Medical Affairs and its growing role in launch; this chapter focuses on the development of a Medical Affairs strategy and work plan for guiding and supporting a product launch. Subsequent chapters study launch timeline creation across a dozen activities; launch staffing and investment across key periods; and launch prepared ness metrics across key activities. The study also reviews critical success factors and major pitfalls and technology tools used by Medical Affairs during launch.

Medical Affairs leaders can use this study to compare how their organization utilizes Medical Affairs effectively in the build-up to launch.

SAMPLE KEY FINDINGS
  • Start early to ensure sufficient funding and timing to deliver on activities
    1. As a rule of thumb, aim to start each key activity 1 phase earlier than you normally would.
    2. Resourcing is the major problem of a later start. Co-leading the launch team can raise your voice and help you secure resourcing quicker but don’t over expand your scope. Those Medical Affairs groups that lead expect to carry a greater load during launch. Thus, they expect to get more funding.
    3. Use “pareto principle” in deciding which activities would benefit the most from earlier start. By starting some activities 1 phase or year earlier (e.g., at Phase 3, 3 years prior to launch [Ph 3,-3] and not Phase 3, 2 years prior to launch [Ph 3,-2]), Medical Affairs can improve its performance by up to 28%.
