The challenges & opportunities facing Biotech & Pharma

Pharma has been extremely successful at finding treatments and cures for some of the most wide-spread diseases to affect mankind. One consequence of this success is that the outstanding unmet need is becoming ever more niche. This means smaller patient populations which leads to two things:

The imperative to be extremely efficient in R&D.

Biotech and pharma are facing ever-increasing pressure to improve R&D productivity – essentially make better breakthroughs, faster, with less waste – so that reasonable ROI can be maintained on developing drugs for smaller patient populations. Access to data to enable this has never been so good, but still it is incredibly challenging to make good use of what data is available, often because it is not quite what you need and it needs a lot of manipulation to make it usable and valuable. All of this slows you down and takes valuable resources away from what really matters – developing insights and making breakthroughs. At Velsera we understand this. We have over a decade of working with over 18,000 researchers to make sense of complex clinical-genomic data. More recently our data harmonization capabilities are helping researchers spend less time on data preparation and more time on insights.

Requirements for companion diagnostics to confirm need for high-cost treatments.

Rarer treatments typically command higher prices to make the ROI equation work. Regulators and payors are eager to ensure money is well spent and so increasingly mandate the use of specific Companion Diagnostics (CDx) to ensure that a patient is the right fit for a treatment and they are likely to have a positive response. This CDx becomes the gate-keeper to patients getting access to novel treatments so designing it and deploying it in a way that optimizes access and uptake is key to enabling patients to quickly access care. At Velsera we have unique experience across both the R&D and clinical domains and can help you to design and deploy extremely effective diagnostics that will enable you to scale access to your new launches fast.
