IDEAZ

With high product development costs and the need to get their products to market fast and successfully, pharmaceutical companies need to determine the best product opportunity at the earliest stage of development. IDEAZ is a creative qualitative research approach that helps you choose the product or profile with the greatest potential for commercial success, and steer development in the right direction. A modest investment in IDEAZ at the outset helps prevent costly development mistakes later on.

What IDEAZ Gives You

  • Direction for pipeline planning
  • The most profitable path to development
  • A prioritized list of product profiles
  • The market value of alternative treatment indications
  • Optimal treatment areas and target patients
  • An analysis of future market response
  • Strengths and challenges in gaining market access

When IDEAZ Helps

Use IDEAZ to:

  • Prioritize multiple early-development products
  • Choose the best of multiple indications
  • Evaluate out-licensing products or indications
  • Build R&D and marketing consensus
  • Maximize opportunity with a limited post-launch growth period
  • Identify early product performance trouble spots

IDEAZ uses a multistage approach

IDEAZ uses a four-stage approach to capture the insights of your R&D and commercialization teams, key opinion leaders, clinicians, and regulatory agents. Research approaches include interviews, Delphi groups, qualitative trade-off analysis, projective and pyramid techniques, and perceptual mapping.

Stage 1 Identifies the most and least likely profile launch characteristics, potential product appeals and disadvantages, and develops product profile alternatives.

Stage 2 Finds treatment areas with the greatest product potential, type and number of initial patient targets, and expected competitive products.

Stage 3 Assesses physicians’ potential product use in their patient populations and identifies expected competitive products.

Stage 4 Identifies the most likely product restrictions and regulatory guidelines.
