New Veeva Pulse findings show congresses and early-career expertshave the strongest influence on patient outcomes

SINGAPORE,Aug. 21,2024 --Veeva Systems (NYSE: VEEV) today revealed that targeted pre-launch scientific outreach maximizes medical affairs teams' impact on treatment adoption in the latest Veeva Pulse Field Trends Report. The analysis shows biopharmas investing in pre-launch scientific activities and prioritizing congresses gain 40% faster treatment adoption than those that invested less. Early-career experts are also more open to digital engagement and four times more likely to start patients on a new treatment.

In Asia,healthcare professionals (HCPs) are prioritizing in-person engagement,outperforming other channels like video,email,phone,and text or in-app chat.

Asia alsorecorded the highest video usage rate globally at 56%,compared to the US,EU,and LATAM regions,showing a preference for more in-depth engagement.

HCPs are turning to biopharmas to help distill rapidly evolving scientific evidence around new innovative medicines and complex diseases. By focusing pre-launch activity around clinical guidelines,publications,and congresses with a new group of stakeholders,medical affairs teams can reach key HCPs to improve treatment decisions.

"Gone are the days when medical could just focus on the top-tier scientific thought leaders," said Angela Smart,director of global medical excellence and operations at ADVANZ PHARMA. "The range of stakeholders has broadened,and it's imperative to expand our engagement strategies beyond traditional experts."

The latest analysis from Veeva Pulse finds that:

Targeted pre-launch scientific activities speed treatment adoption: By engaging key experts at congresses,helping develop clinical guidelines,and securing coverage in publications before launch,companies see 40% faster treatment adoption than those that don't. This demonstrates that more resources for medical teams during this stage can boost launch success.


Congress activity has the strongest influence on clinical decisions: Higher investment in pre-launch congress activities has the most influence on treatment after approval. Congresses,and the digital discussions that follow,help increase scientific awareness and drive impactful medical conversations more than investment in clinical guidelines and publications.


Engaging early-career HCPs increases new treatment uptake: These digitally-savvy emerging experts are four times more likely to start patients on a new treatment. They are also five times more likely to speak at congresses,11 times more likely to engage digitally,and seven times more likely to get published.


In Asia,in-person activity was the preferred channel of communication,showing HCPs' need for in-depth engagement: In the past quarter,in-person activity represented 82% of the channel mix,outperforming other channels such as email,video,and text or chat. This trend was consistent across the industry,from smaller biotechs to large biopharmas.


Compliant content continues to play a critical role in HCP engagement: Closed-loop marketing (CLM) interactive visual aid usage increased for both in-person and video engagement channels,demonstrating the increasing importance of leveraging content to create more personalized interactions with HCPs.

"It is key that field teams continue to meet the needs ofHCPs by providing important information to understand complex new medicines through the right channels. Our Pulse data has shown that effectively communicating scientific evidence before launch has a significant impact in driving quicker treatment adoption. HCP needs are evolving,and it is important to leverage data to inform strategies towards driving efficiency and engagement," said Shafi Hussain,Veeva Asia business consulting head.
