Rethinking Market Strategy within a Patient-Centric Era

A panel of industry leaders share key insights supporting the integration of patient-centric strategies into current and future drug development and market access efforts.

As the series closes, the panel reflects on an often underrepresented but crucial stakeholder: the patient. The discussion underscores the need for a more patient-centered market access strategy—one that incorporates health equity, diagnostic and treatment journey support, and clearer communication around cost and adherence.

Key discussion topics include:

  • How social determinants of health (SDOH) shape real-world treatment access.
  • The growing need for payer transparency and patient trust in the marketplace.
  • Strategies to engage patients early in development to ensure success.
