For drugs to be successful, there must be robust health outcomes data to support launch optimization, reimbursement and maintain market position. Specifically, evidence must be maintained throughout the product lifecycle as standard of care changes, new competitors are introduced, and patents expire on existing competitors. The landscape is evolving quickly as trials demonstrating efficacy in an area of unmet need may receive expedited review, or orphan product status designation which affects both GSK and competitors launch timelines and approval requirements. More and more of our customers are developing sophisticated internal health outcomes capabilities and access to real world data that can be used to better understand unmet needs and real-world effectiveness of our medicines. We need to better understand how our customers define value and to effectively collaborate with them to ensure we are generating value evidence data that includes real world evidence and cost effectiveness analysis that is impactful for payers, health systems, providers, and patients.
The role of Senior Director, Global Real-World Evidence & Health Outcomes Research Lead is critical to achieving this ambition by ensuring that each medicine GSK brings to market is supported by scientifically credible, high-quality evidence that drives competitiveness and strong evidence-based product positioning, value propositions and value-based pricing. The role is essential for the alignment of evidence with the requirements of customers responsible for marketing authorization, recommendation and reimbursement leading to successful patient access, product use and commercial success.
Within this organisation as the VP, Head of Global Real-World Evidence & Health Outcomes Research, Sulabha Ramachandran will be leading a team which incorporates the legacy VEO/Non-Interventional Studies capabilities teams under a newly evolved name that more closely reflects their purpose and the research they deliver.
