Assess Physician Prescribing Practices Through Market Research
Industry
Pharmaceutical Manufacturer
Problem
A generic pharmaceutical manufacturer was looking to predict future physician prescribing preferences after a drug shortage disrupted the market. The generic manufacturer had many Authorized New Drug Applications (ANDAs) available in the same therapeutic class and in similar classes and wanted to determine which products they should produce to meet the new market needs.
PHSL Solutions
PHSI crafted a 10-question closed-ended survey to assess physician preferences and future prescribing practices. The manufacturer-approved survey was distributed to a geographically diverse group of physicians that specialize in the affected disease state. PHSI collected and tabulated the results into a concise PowerPoint summary.
Results
The generic manufacturer better understood physician preferences and was able to pinpoint which drug classes and which specific medications were preferred by specialists. The results provided the manufacturer with a key data point to help them shape their future manufacturing decisions.
