RG+A Innovates New Research Approach Targeted at Complex Diseases
New Hope, PA (PRWEB) August 26, 2015 -- RG+A, a leading healthcare marketing research and consulting firm, recently launched an innovative new research approach that extends its flagship product, Dynamic Practice Simulation®. Called Dynamic Practice Simulation Line of Therapy, this new offering is designed to overcome the challenges presented to forecasters in predicting performance for products that have complex treatment protocols that may extend through several lines of therapy.
The method simulates the treatment decision process by presenting physicians with a diverse set of realistic patient profiles in a given treatment area, having them treat the patients, and receiving feedback after each treatment on its effectiveness. Treatment decisions are assessed over three lines of therapy and may include multiple decisions such as induction and maintenance therapy at each point. Physicians make their treatment decisions under two scenarios – the market as it currently exists and a future market after the launch of an innovative new treatment.
“With the increased focus within healthcare on the management of progressive diseases, Dynamic Practice Simulation Line of Therapy is the perfect tool to provide marketers with the insights they need to position their products for treatment of specific patients at different points in therapy and in combination with other agents,” said Roger Green, CEO and President of RG+A.
Bruce Duncan, Ph.D., RG+A’s Chief Research Scientist, points out the versatility of the Line of Therapy approach, saying, “…simulating decision making with a feedback loop provides an ideal vehicle for assessing and understanding diseases with high rates of misdiagnosis, understanding the testing sequence physicians’ use when faced with symptoms that could represent many diseases, or monitoring the treatment protocol with a rapidly deteriorating patient.”
