Pre-Launch Planning: Priming Your Pharma Brand For Profit And Success (mini)Eularis
In today’s environment, Pharmaceutical companies find themselves in a bind. Until recently, if drugs made over $500 Million in annual revenue within 3 to 5 years of launch, they were considered hugely successful. They were a support to an extensive company portfolio and a component of greater company profit.
However, things have changed. The standards for a successful drug have become much higher and much more dangerous. With so many revenue-producing drugs going off patent, companies are facing large holes in their balance sheets and sales that are increasingly slow.
Plus, with the stakes high and available funds low, pipelines are drying up. Add to this the closer scrutiny of safety issues, the rise of Generics, slower physician acceptance and adoption of new therapies, and the Pharma Industry is in trouble.
More and more, companies are expecting marketers to be instrumental at the key moment of launch, and marketers are under extreme pressure. To deliver on the high hopes of Pharmaceutical brand launch, companies must engage in comprehensive pre-launch planning.
In this report we analyze why launch is increasingly important, the issues involved in pre-launch planning, including key organizational strategies, marketing tactics, regulatory considerations, global issues, and methods for ensuring the most effective plans.

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India.

The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

compliance and
dose convenient
pack for patients
will be an added
value for gaining
doctors attention
because most
brands are
introducing 10s
packing seen in the
market
Fungal infections in
Indian is becoming
epidemic, hence
opportunity in anti-
fungal segment will
be a growth driver
for a company,
hence Itraconazole
could be launched
GPs and Non-
MBBS should be
educated in
correct usage of
Itraconazole and
other anti-fungals
and investing in
their learning will
increase our
business
opportunity
‡ Itraconazole new product could be launched in considering the

Bottles of 30 Capsules for dosing convenience
23. Rationale for Packing
1
•Many Itraconazole brands are changing to 10s packing due to increase in dosing
regimen of fungal infections
2
•As resistance and recurrence are two major challenges in treating fungal infections,
dosage is increased clinically more than recommended duration of therapy
3
•10s packing strips is essential for treating Dermatophytosis & Candidiasis and
bottles will play a vital role in long term dosage schedules especially in resistant
fungal infections and onychomycosis
4
•Dermats are seeing patients with dermatophytosis do not respond to two weeks
therapy thus recommending to increase the days of treatment, where even in tinea
infections dermats prescribe till achieving mycological cure rate
5
•For onychomycosis bottle packing will be an value for patients which increases the
compliance and dosing convenience

24. Suggested Positioning
SDP Technology
(Solid Dispersion of Itraconazole in Polymer)
For RESISTANT, REFRACTORY & RECURRENT Fungal Infections
Itraconazole, the broad-spectrum anti-fungal now in a new improved
pharmaceutical form ;
Super Bioavailability
3X Increase in Absorption
Reduces Intra / Inter-patient
Variability
25. Proof of Product Claim
BRINTRA Generic Itraconazole

26. Because of low solubility and high permeability Itraconazole suffer from poor aqueous
solubility which results in poor dissolution rate in the GI tract and may compromise oral
bioavailability.
Positioning Rationale
Enhancement of
dissolution rate of
Itraconazole after
oral administration
was one of the
most challenging
aspects in pellet
formulation.
Because of low
solubility and high
permeability
Itraconazole suffer
from poor aqueous
solubility which
results in poor
dissolution rate in
the GI tract and
may compromise
oral bioavailability.
Few strains of
dermatophytes
are resistant to
generic
Itraconazole due
to insufficient
bioavailability
because of poorly
soluble and highly
variability
Few clinical cases of
aspergillosis are
reported globally
were replacement
Sporanox with
generic itraconazole
resulted in
treatment failure
due to inadequate
plasma levels of
Itraconazole and
even development
of resistance
BRINTRA
reduces intra-
and inter-patient
variability and
enables more
predictable
clinical response.
SDP improves
bioavailability &
3X increase in
absorption

28. Indications & Dosage
‡ Due to Resistant,
Refractory & Recurring
fungal infections the
recommended dosages
are not sufficient for
treatment.
‡ Inter/ intra-patient
variability makes
recommended dosage
unpredictable
‡ Dermats clinically in
practice recommend
Itraconazole with other
topical anti-fungals till
infection resolves.
‡ Dermats see more
refractory and recurring
cases in same patients
which clinically required
more days for resolution
of infection.
