Launching a new breakthrough medicine is often like a double-edged sword for pharma companies. While some drugs go on to achieve blockbuster status owing to factors such as fulfilling an unmet need or first-mover advantage, other drugs face a hostile response from key stakeholder groups in instances where there is stigma or controversy associated with the condition or its treatment.

Considering the millions of dollars at stake during a new product launch, forward-looking pharma companies have developed rapid response teams to map and engage the full range of hostile stakeholder groups.

Best Practices, LLC engaged senior launch leadership from pharma companies and conducted extensive secondary research to identify effective strategies for managing hostile stakeholders during the launch of a breakthrough new medicine.

This report delves into key aspects, including: enabling rapid response to hostile issues, communication tactics to prevent issues and soften hostile voices, using science to defuse hostility and build the value story, working with various hostile stakeholder groups among KOLs and HCPs, activist groups, payers, pricing opposition groups, and patient advocacy groups during product launch.
