The pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device marketplaces are rapidly changing due to new medicines, new technologies, new therapeutic approaches and a challenging regulatory environment. In order to ensure the success of a new product, companies find it essential to educate the marketplace.


The Diabetes segment, along with cardiovascular disease (due to the FDA’s recent inclusion of cardiovascular risk factors when assessing anti-diabetes drugs seeking FDA approval), has seen much attention during recent years, including the emergence of many therapies aimed at treating Diabetes and its co-morbid diseases. For example, some companies are developing Diabetes vaccines.

Best Practices, LLC designed this report study to explore the best practices in educating, informing and preparing the marketplace for new diabetes products – through Physician, Patient, and Payer education and publications, advocacy and communication strategies. Specific topics covered in this report include:

  • Identifying key education tactics for thought leaders, physicians, patients, and payers
  • Assessing key market-education practices, including thought-leader services; Medical Education; scientific publications; patient advocacy and education; clinical trials and payer education
  • Identifying key timing factors and education mix
  • Describing critical market entry pitfalls and future trends

The results provided in this report include key benchmark metrics, executive insights, and recommendations that Medical Education and Marketing executives can optimize their utilization of current best practices and emerging trends to ensure a successful new product launch.

Study Snapshot

The benchmark class includes 34 executives and managers at 26 leading pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies.
This field research and benchmarking report probes an array of medical education and marketing practices conducted two to three years prior to launch that best inform and shape the marketplace.

The quantitative survey harvested current best practices and emerging trends in educating the marketplace to support successful product launches. In addition, deep-dive executive interviews were conducted with selected participants to provide qualitative insights and emerging trends.

Sample Key Findings

Thought Leaders are cornerstones of success. Thought Leader insights range broadly from starting early to develop critical relationships, seeding Medical Science Liaison (MSL) resources early, committing to the therapeutic area to win influential investigators, employing segmentation to identify and manage top thought leaders, investigators and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), and managing the coordination of national and regional thought leaders across the value chain throughout development.

  • Bio-pharmaceutical companies believe that advisory boards, strong product pipelines and scientific publications are the cornerstones for building credibility among investigators. More than half of survey participants– the greatest percentage – view publications as being very important.
