Market Access Impact: Melanoma (EU5) 2018

Market barriers affect a fifth of melanoma prescriptions. Is your brand losing out?

In the EU5, market barriers affect a fifth of all melanoma prescriptions, giving the top brand a narrow lead over two rivals that are in 2nd and 3rd place. Find out how eliminating barriers would shake up the top and middle of the market, and help the last place brand double its share in Market Access Impact: Melanoma (EU5) [2018].

Based on a survey of 150 oncologists and dermato-oncologists, the report covers 8 major therapies from Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Novartis, and Roche. Handy graphs and charts reveal which of the 7 different barriers cost your brand the most market share, and which ones help you take the most from competitors.

Top Takeaways

• Barriers affect a fifth of all prescriptions: But two barriers in particular affect more prescriptions than the others.
• Market access is not the problem: Barriers related to market access affect far fewer prescriptions than either of the top two barriers.
• Four brands gain share: But the most prescribed brand sees a significantly larger net gain than any other brand.
• One brand loses big: The least-prescribed brand loses far more market share than any competitor, and suffers disproportionately from four of the seven barriers.
• Eliminating barriers would shake up the rankings: Moving one brand into second place, shuffling the order in the middle of the pack, and doubling share for the last-place brand.
• One brand has a big perception problem: Nearly 15% of surveyed doctors didn't even know it existed.
