The Client

A global pharmaceutical company traditionally focused in the generic and specialty market is planning to build a rare disease franchise and is looking to acquire a set of assets as the foundation for this franchise.

Challenge

Client needs a commercial and clinical due diligence to evaluate the attractiveness of an AATD asset as a potential cornerstone of its new rare disease franchise.

Our Approach

Gathered insights on physician anticipated utilization of target asset in AATD under different market scenarios, including approval of potential gene therapy. Payers were also guided with TPPs to assess pricing potential, potential access barriers, etc.

Incorporated input from HCPs and payers to develop dynamic revenue model for client to assess AATD market under various future competitive market scenarios

Impact
