In the global healthcare marketplace, it is critical for pharmaceutical companies to effectively communicate information to external stakeholders such as physicians, patients and payers.


Disease state awareness campaigns have long been used by the industry to disseminate unbranded information about the characteristics of a particular disease, and how it affects patients. With unbranded education among the most trusted sources of information for HCPs and patients, it is vital that pharmaceutical organizations effectively utilize their disease awareness programs to support pipeline portfolio products.

This research provides reliable industry metrics on current disease state awareness program structure, spend, and activities that support pipeline products. In addition, the study reviews the timing of disease state awareness activities.

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 17 executives from leading pharmaceutical, biotech, and communications companies through a benchmarking survey to explore best practices around the timing, investment, and activities for disease awareness programs.

Key Findings

· Marketing is Primary Contributor for Disease Awareness Programs: Most participants (64%) rely on marketing as the principal funding source for disease awareness. Brand teams were second, with 46% saying they were the primary contributor.
· Patient Advocacy Groups Seen as Valuable Partners: Almost 80% of study participants think it is highly important to create alliances with patient advocacy groups. At the same time, a majority also felt it is highly important to build relationships with key advocates and work on disease awareness websites/campaigns for/with advocacy groups.

· Disease Awareness Activities and Spend are Concentrated on Launch -1 Year & Launch Year : It is during the launch -1 year and launch year periods that a majority of participants conduct the eight key disease awareness activities measured in this study; participants spend 50% of their budget during these two periods.
