  • Impact of Mergers, Acquisitions, and Patent Expirations on Job Cuts in Pharma and Biotech: Insights from Aurelija Luko and Darren Callanan

    Impact of Mergers, Acquisitions, and Patent Expirations on Job Cuts in Pharma and Biotech: Insights from Aurelija Luko and Darren Callanan
    Jul 2 2024

    Welcome to this month's episode of the P4A Let’s Talk Rare podcast by Partners4Acess. Today, Georgie and Owen are joined by their colleagues Aurelija Luko, the CFO, and Darren Callanan, the Global Digital Lead at Partners4Access. Join them as they discuss the recent job cuts in the pharma and biotech industry and the reasons behind them.


    Aurelia explains that redundancies are not limited to the pharma industry and are influenced by factors like mergers, expiring patents, and macroeconomic instability. Darren adds that high drug development costs and pricing pressures also contribute to layoffs. However, he suggests that companies can use digital tools to enhance efficiency and innovation to address industry challenges. They also discuss a digital launch platform and a social listening tool created by Partners4Access.


    Aurelia highlights that companies are looking to increase shareholder value and reduce costs. Darren adds that thanks to the high cost of drug development and downward pressure on prices, companies are forced to narrow their focus and compete in the same space, leading to layoffs.

    The conversation then shifts to discuss the digital launch platform created by Partners for Access. Darren explains that the platform streamlines the access and utilization of launch materials, ensuring that affiliates have access to the most up-to-date and compliant versions. This helps overcome the challenge of inconsistent distribution and saves time for the teams.


    Darren also mentions another tool called RarePulse, a social listening platform. This tool collects and analyzes data from social media and other sources to provide insights on key opinion leaders, unmet patient needs, and other relevant topics. He emphasizes that social media listening allows for a broader understanding of patient experiences and can help shape primary research and launch strategies.

  • The Role of Patient Experience Data in Drug Development with Pina Haberl and Sam Morrison

    The Role of Patient Experience Data in Drug Development with Pina Haberl and Sam Morrison
    May 3 2024
    Welcome to this month's episode of the P4A Let’s Talk Rare podcast by Partners4Acess. Today, Georgie and Owen are joined by their colleagues Pina Haberl, Senior Director, and Sam Morrison, Executive Director at Partners4Access. Join us as we discuss the crucial role of patient experience data in drug development. The conversation explores the need for drug developers to understand patient perspectives and gather data on their experiences, preferences, and needs. Pina and Sam highlight how patient experience data can improve drug development and clinical trial design while differentiating products in the market. They also address challenges in collecting and integrating patient data and the importance of involving patients early in the process. Also discussed is how some regulators and health technology assessment (HTA) bodies have started to accept patient experience data in their decision-making processes, but there is still uncertainty and inconsistency in how it is used. There is a call for more collaboration among stakeholders, including payers, policymakers, and patient groups, to establish best practices for collecting, analyzing, and utilizing patient experience data. Pina emphasizes the need for patients to have a seat at the table and be heard in decision-making processes. She mentions initiatives, such as partnering with patients and conferences, but acknowledges that there is still a long way to go. A study published in Cambridge University Press investigated the utilization of patient preference (PP) data in health technology assessment (HTA) bodies worldwide. An exploratory survey by the HTA International Patient and Citizen Involvement Interest Group gathered insights from 40 members across twelve countries. Results showed that 82.5% of respondents formally considered PP data in HTA reviews, yet only 39.4% reported its frequent inclusion in assessments due to time and resource limitations. PP data moderately influenced decision-making processes and outcomes, with a higher impact on decision quality. Participants suggested patient advocacy groups should play a primary role in generating and submitting such evidence. The study highlights barriers to broader integration and proposes collaborative workshops for further investigation. Pina (Josephina) Haberl Bio: Pina is a goal-driven, solution-oriented, hands-on, and team-spirited professional with over 10 years of proven Market Access in consulting and industry expertise. She thrives on teamwork and excels at delivering actionable and innovative solutions to succeed in meeting business challenges. She specializes in developing and executing Market Access strategies and tactics that ensure success for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and diagnostics in an international, cross-functional environment. Her understanding of the intricacies and specificities of respective healthcare systems and the diplomatic needs of diverse teams is critical in delivering results and ensuring patients have access to innovations. Sam Morrison Bio: Sam is an Executive Director at Partners4Access (P4A) with over 15 years of experience in market access consultancy. She has gained considerable insight into health systems across Europe and the USA, as well as other major markets, including Japan, China, and Brazil, as well as many Central and Eastern European markets. Sam has conducted many market access due diligence projects, and as pricing and reimbursement have become more essential to the licensing process, she is used to the time pressures and the balance between commercial, clinical development, and market access these projects require.

We can't just think about it; we have to be involved and educate others actively. Patients need to understand the questions asked and the impact of their input.”
