9、ity of life by an estimated 500 million Disability-Adjusted Life Years(DALYs).2-4One of the defining features of cardiometabolic diseases is the substantial overlap between different patient populations,because many indications manifest themselves as co-morbidities in the same patient(see Figure 1):
10、Such interdependencies between different indications make it more difficult to answer key strategic questions,for example,who is the ideal patient benefiting the most from a new therapy?Innovators therefore must have a holistic and granular understanding of patient profiles,including their unmet nee
11、ds along multiple risk factors,to inform strategic segmentation into target patient groups to guide the target product profile,brand strategy and positioning of new cardiometabolic therapies.In 2024,cardiometabolic diseases were the focus of 17%of all new clinical trial starts,including phases 1-3,m

21、nt of cardiometabolic risk was the arrival of multi-indication therapies,specifically GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors,which have shown favourable effects on multiple risk factors,e.g.,blood glucose levels,BMI,blood pressure and kidney function.As demonstrated in a number of cardiovascul

30、ITY:THE NEED TO ENGAGE A DIVERSE CUSTOMER BASEThe manifestation of cardiometabolic indications as co-morbidities is a key driver of Go-To-Market(GTM)complexity,because the same patient is seen by multiple HCP specialties,for example,GPs,diabetologists,endocrinologists,cardiologists,nephrologists,gas
31、troenterologists or hepatologists.In addition,referrals between specialties and fluidity in who ultimately makes particular treatment decisions exacerbate GTM challenges.These prescriber specialties have very different needs and value different benefits delivered by a therapy and/or portfolio,which
32、requires a customer-centric engagement approach with carefully tailored positioning(see Figure 4).Patient with multiple CV-met co-morbidities,seen by multiple HCP specialtiesExample:Farxiga,multi-indication CV-met playSource of business,by HCP specialty;and by indication(MAT 5/2023)Promotional inves

47、entation;competitive dynamics,including the evolving treatment landscape,differential brand positioning,sales dynamics and promotional investments.2.Aligned value propositions and customer engagement:Overlap of cardiometabolic patient populations and customer segments drives the need for aligned(co-
48、)positioning across brands/indications,with a coherent value narrative that matches multiple value propositions with distinct needs of patient and HCP segments.Innovators must also articulate where their new therapies,individually and collectively,fit in the cardiometabolic treatment algorithm refle
49、cting the increasing interdependencies in managing risk factors.In turn,this positioning strategy must be translated into a clear engagement plan,typically spanning different prescriber specialties.It needs to provide operational guidance on prioritising target customer segments to drive prescriptio
50、ns,with segment-specific,yet aligned messaging across value propositions,and backed by adequate resourcing levels to ensure a competitive presence in the market.3.High-quality execution and effective performance management:Ultimately,competitive advantage and success are determined by the quality of
51、 executing the commercial strategy across brands and indications;for example,precision engagement of target customers with high-impact campaigns through the right channel mix that reflects their preferences.Performance transparency is key for instilling a competitive mindset,making faster,better dec
52、isions,optimally directing resources,and to be able to course correct with agility.Accurate market measurement is a pre-requisite,including understanding the sources of business,brand adoption and market share,at patient level,across indications,different segments and channels.We will now systematic
53、ally explore best practice for each foundational pillar of excellence in commercialising cardiometabolic innovation,illustrated through relevant case examples.8|Achieving Excellence in Commercialising Cardiometabolic Innovation I.Deep market insight foundationThe foundation for achieving commercial
54、excellence is an in-depth understanding of the uniquely complex dynamics underlying a specific cardiometabolic opportunity to inform strategic and operational decisions.Successful cardiometabolic brands therefore dedicate significant,early effort to developing critical insight,for example,how an opp
55、ortunity manifests itself in particular patient profiles with overlapping co-morbidities and in which competitive context;how co-morbid target patients flow through the healthcare system and which prescriber specialties they interact with at different stages along the treatment pathway;or which ther
56、apy attributes different prescribers specialties,and sub-segments,value and their channel preference for receiving information.Such comprehensive,integrated insight must draw on combining multiple data sources,e.g.,real-word data such as anonymised,longitudinal patient-level Rx data,claims data or E
57、MR;commercial data,e.g.,sales,promotional investment and activity;primary research into patient and HCP behaviours,attitudes and preferences;and intelligence gathered by field teams,including both the sales force and medical affairs.“Successful cardiometabolic brands dedicate significant,early effor
58、t to developing critical market insight.”|9PATIENT JOURNEY AND TREATMENT PATHWAY MAPFor example,a leading multi-indication,cardiometabolic brand used granular patient journey and care pathway mapping to understand how patients navigate the healthcare system as they begin to experience the onset of m
59、ultiple co-morbidities,including diabetes,chronic kidney disease and heart failure(see Figure 6).Cardiometabolic patient journeys are particularly complex due to interdependencies between co-morbidities,which manifest themselves at different time points in the natural history of disease,and inevitab
60、ly lead to an expansion of HCP specialties involved at different stages in a patients care.Once the flow of patients through the healthcare system and their touch points were understood,the patient journey was enriched by overlaying the patient experience along the way,e.g.,in their interactions wit
61、h healthcare professionals,facing obstacles along the care pathway,or the burden of living with,and managing,multiple,typically life-long conditions.Such rich,detailed insight helped sharpen the brands positioning across its different indications and the communication of patient-relevant benefits,wh
62、ile ensuring the customer engagement strategy was aligned with key intervention points along this complex patient journey.PINPOINTING OPPORTUNITIES IN CO-MORBID SUB-POPULATIONSFor example,developers of novel therapies for managing blood pressure will need to identify and target specific patient segm
63、ents with unmet need,such as a high-risk sub-population with CV-risk factors and resistant hypertension.The latter is defined as uncontrolled blood pressure despite the use of three or more antihypertensive drugs of different classes,including diuretics,long-acting calcium channel blockers,ACE inhib
64、itors or angiotensin II type receptor antagonists,at maximally tolerated doses.Using IQVIA Disease Analyzer(Germany),a representative database of general and specialist practices in Germany,which captures anonymised,patient-level data on diagnoses and treatments based on ICD-10 and ATC codes,IQVIA q
65、uantified overlap between patients with resistant hypertension and high-risk hypertension patients with multiple CV co-morbidities.These patient segments were subsequently mapped against GP and cardiology practices,respectively(see Figure 7).PresentationDiagnosisTx:Initiation and maintenanceDxDiabet

68、his analysis highlighted,for example,that 50%of all GP practices and 39%of cardiology practices in Germany see high-risk,co-morbid patients with resistant hypertension,while in terms of absolute numbers the majority of those patients are found in the care of GPs.Typically,GPs manage treatment escala
69、tion,including initiation of the fourth therapy in resistant hypertension patients.GPs may consider specialist referral when a patients blood pressure remains uncontrolled.Such insight forms the basis for granular opportunity pinpointing and integrated HCP/patient segmentation to guide future custom
70、er engagement plans.It also informs effectively directing in-field activities at the most important prescribers treating large volumes of high-risk patients with resistant hypertension.UNDERSTANDING HCP NEEDS AND PREFERENCESAs the cardiometabolic landscape is becoming more crowded and competitive in
71、tensity increases in many markets,successful customer engagement must cut through this noise and deliver relevant,personalised content,and services,via an orchestrated omnichannel approach that reflects prescribers needs and preferences.13Our analysis of IQVIA ChannelDynamics data found a significan
72、t gap exists between HCPs channel preference and the promotional reality across EU4+UK markets,which varies by HCP specialty.For example,among relevant HCP specialties for cardiometabolic therapies,nephrologists report the highest level of misalignment,at 43%,followed by endocrinologists and cardiol
73、ogists at 41%and 40%,respectively,while GPs report the lowest level of mismatch at 33%among this group.GP practices with hypertension patients*(901 practices=100%)Resistant HTN patients High-riskpatients 886 practices(98.3%)454 practices(50.4%)463 practices(51.4%)Practices treating hypertensionHyper

87、 EMEA Thought Leadership analysisII.Aligned value propositions and customer engagement strategyWhen cardiometabolic assets with multi-indication potential secure approval of additional indications,innovators must articulate a broader,coherent value narrative and expand customer engagement to cover a
88、ll relevant prescriber specialties.This imperative also applies when innovators assemble multi-asset portfolios that target different cardiometabolic indications.Leading companies treat each new indication as a distinct launch,supported by dedicated teams where critical mass allows,to ensure organis
89、ational focus,which is a key prerequisite for achieving outperformance as we demonstrated in IQVIAs extensive Launch Excellence research.16For example,SGLT2 inhibitor Jardiance,originally approved for T2D,subsequently expanded its label to cover Heart Failure,including both patients with reduced eje
90、ction fraction(HFrEF)and preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF),and chronic kidney disease.In preparation for seizing the new commercial opportunities,Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly significantly stepped up promotional investment around each label expansion,targeting indication-specific messages,tailore
91、d for relevant prescriber specialties,including primary care physicians(PCPs/GPs),endocrinologists,cardiologists and nephrologists.This approach resulted in building important breadth of coverage and depth of prescribing.During the window of 6 months before and after label expansion in heart failure
92、 with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF),for example,Jardiance increased total detail volume in the U.S.threefold across HCP specialties.Engagement beyond endocrinologists,its original core prescribers,was critical:contacts with GPs and cardiologists increased by a factor of 4 and 5.4,respectively,dur
93、ing this peri-launch period.High levels of prescribing breadth and depth in the primary care setting,achieved via significant in-person engagement with GPs,was particularly important to drive patient volumes(see Figure 9)|13A verbatims analysis using IQVIA ChannelDynamics with IQVIA AI Assistant ill

98、ed over 3 years before label expansion and ran alongside key CV-outcomes trials,such as Jardiances EMPA-REG OUTCOME or Farxigas DECLARE.Collectively,these evidence generation efforts focused on demonstrating real-world CV outcomes,characterising the target patient populations that benefit the most,a

106、tabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis(MASH).Ensuring health system and care pathway readiness is a key prerequisite for the broad and effective adoption of such novel therapies within the eligible patient population.In March 2024,Madrigals Rezdiffra became the first-ever therapy specificall
107、y approved for the treatment of MASH in patients with moderate or severe liver fibrosis,consistent with fibrosis stages F2 and F3 disease.In preparation for a successful launch,it was critical for Madrigal to dedicate significant,early effort to market shaping to address challenges such as limited d
108、isease awareness,low diagnosis rates and the absence of established care pathways for MASH.20 Specifically,Madrigals extensive market shaping activities21 for its U.S.launch included:Identifying 14,000 target physicians in total,with a primary focus on engaging 6,000 hepatologists and gastroenterolo
109、gists,who treat the majority of the 315,000 diagnosed F2-F3 stage MASH patients.Initial focus on liver-specialists was aimed at capturing patients already diagnosed and under care,while gastroenterologists,who far outnumber hepatologists,are typically less familiar with MASH but will be critical pre

115、tial cardiometabolic patient populations and target prescriber universes to engage,which can be orders of magnitude higher than for typical specialty care indications,fit-for-purpose market measurement becomes elevated to a high priority;for example,to understand the sources of business,and market s
116、hare,at patient level,across indications,for different patient and prescriber sub-segments and channels.Additionally,in obesity,it will also be important to accurately measure performance across both the private,consumer-led market and in the reimbursed setting.Granular,timely market measurement for
117、ms the basis for defining effective incentives that drive focus on priorities and instil critical behaviours and ways of working.For example,a leading cardiometabolic innovator,with a multi-indication brand competing in several crowded market segments,partnered with IQVIA to implement best-in-class
118、performance management to sustain its competitive advantage.To accurately track brand performance and patient dynamics at indication level in ex-US markets,IQVIA developed an AI-algorithm,trained on medical history and treatment patterns in the target population using representative longitudinal,ano
119、nymised patient-level EMR data.The algorithm was applied to longitudinal prescription data collected at pharmacy level to measure performance by indication.Feeding the latest EMR data into the learning model ensured continuous improvement of the algorithm.This approach delivered accurate performance
120、 transparency on several key metrics at indication level(see Figure 10),e.g.,TRx,NBRx,acquisition of treatment nave patients or patient switches between brands.In addition to monitoring commercial outcomes metrics such as brand sales,prescriptions,market share or number of patients acquired,it is im
121、portant to track execution metrics that are more directly linked to underlying activities that drive performance.For example,as we discussed in another IQVIA publication,the quality of HCP engagement is a strong predictor of launch success.22 Therefore,visibility of execution metrics enables swift,p
122、urposeful changes in tactics,e.g.,HCP targeting,omnichannel call plans,or message prioritisation and delivery.As competition is heating up,innovators must relentlessly focus on consistent,high-quality commercial execution which makes or breaks a successful cardiometabolic franchise.“Performance tran

125、ust address three organisational priorities:1.Portfolio mindset:Maximising the overall cardiometabolic commercial opportunity requires a vision and mindset that rise above individual assets and indications.This allows a holistic view across interdependent opportunities,and how they fit together,to a
126、rticulate a coherent,cross-portfolio value narrative vs.a collection of disparate value propositions.A portfolio mindset is also essential for joined-up strategic planning,including opportunity prioritisation,optimal investment and resource allocation,and the capture of synergies,e.g.,due to custome
127、r overlap.Note,we consider a multi-indication asset a portfolio in a product in this context.2.Structure and governance provide the mechanisms for translating a portfolio mindset into operational reality.Pan-cardiometabolic governance,supported by consistent frameworks and effective,cross-functional
128、 processes with clearly defined decision rights,is crucial to drive organisational alignment around the cardiometabolic strategy,portfolio priorities and critical success factors.It facilitates joined-up decisions above individual assets and indications as a prerequisite for resolving conflicting pr
129、iorities and internal competition for resources or customers,avoiding duplication of efforts and orchestrating seamless execution by in-field teams.Moreover,efficient decision making and planning processes enable organisational agility,which is critical for playing in complex,fast-moving markets.Ove
