  • Thursday, September 29, 2016

To ensure successful commercialization, manufacturers need to understand the crucial role real world evidence (RWE) is now playing in product planning and determine best practices for evidence dissemination.

Join our featured speakers, Dr. Mike Eaddy and Patricia Wolfangel, both from Xcenda, for a complimentary webinar that explores the critical role and impact of RWE on product life-cycle management from concept through post-launch. Insights will be provided on use of RWE to demonstrate product value, as well as best practices to ensure decision-makers receive data in a timely and actionable format.

During this session, the speakers will address:

  • Industry challenges that necessitate new forms of evidence to demonstrate product value
  • New evaluation methods and data types impacting the landscape (ex. value-based frameworks)
  • Current perceptions of FDAMA section 114 and effect on market access strategy and formulary decisions
  • Case studies and best practices for successfully using RWE to maximize market access success
