GTM Diagnostic Test Plan

Background

country-flag
  • A biotechnology company aimed to develop a go-to-market strategy for a novel oncology drug, focusing on next-generation sequencing (NGS) versus immunohistochemistry (IHC)
  • They sought to understand the use of molecular diagnostic platforms (IHC, ISH, NGS, liquid biopsy)

Objective

  • The objectives were to map patient flow, identify drivers and hurdles to NGS adoption, evaluate future usage of NGS, liquid biopsy, and IHC, and provide recommendations for a companion diagnostic strategy

Solution

WorkStream
  • Methodology: Combined qualitative and quantitative research, including in-depth interviews and structured surveys for comprehensive insights
  • Sample Size: 8 qualitative interviews and 250 quantitative surveys for balanced analysis
  • Targeted Audience: Medical lab scientist consultants, pathologists, laboratory managers, and directors for their expertise in molecular diagnostic platforms

Impact

impact
  • The study successfully mapped patient flow and diagnostic test processes across multiple clinic business models
  • Identified the key drivers and barriers to the adoption of NGS
  • Found that NGS, liquid biopsy, and IHC are all expected to be used in the future
  • Provided actionable alternatives and recommendations for the client's companion diagnostic strategy
