Customer

The customer is a leading research-based biopharmaceutical company that focuses on discovering, developing, and commercializing innovative medicines.

Business Challenge

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Biopharmaceutical company knew they had a potential treatment that could save thousands of lives. However, the drug had never been through the clinical trial process or approved by any health organization.

Because customer don’t sell directly to patients, they lacked the data necessary to make critical decisions about the drug, most importantly, they needed more information on the drug’s safety profile so that they could become aware of side effects, work to improve them, and get it approved for outpatient use.

  • There was a lot of external data available that could help build this case – however, this data was disparate, uncoordinated and came in at different time intervals.
