Get tailored advice from a specialized team 

Because products for different diseases will follow different paths to market, we offer deep expertise across many therapeutic and specialty areas, including oncology, rare diseases, cell and gene therapy, and others. Leveraging this specific knowledge, our consultants create tailored strategies for engaging patients, generating compelling evidence, developing value stories, and mitigating risk.

We’re a consulting group. Of course, we’re lockstep with our clinical colleagues, helping them with their clinical programs. But consulting means we get really close to our clients. We have to be in listening mode. We have to understand their problems before we can find solutions for them.  

Compressing timelines, removing regulatory barriers, creating value, consulting to create the right price for our products, ensure reimbursement, a and ultimately to take and remove and lower as many barriers as we can to patient access, ultimately. We’re very excited about that. 

A noticeable trend has been the biotech companies seeking to de-risk their portfolios, their assets earlier on, with the goal of going global with their own products and developing themselves going to launch. And the smaller companies, with their assets, need the arms and legs that Parexel can bring and the expertise. They're not going to invest in global capabilities necessarily for a product that is, that carries risk. So that's definitely a shift and one we're very aligned to. And hits our sweet spot. Of course, we have a lot of enterprise customers, 50% of our portfolio.

But taking a biotech company that has aspirations to go global and compressing their timelines, creating value, that's really exciting is something that we're, very aligned with. It requires some planning to engage in that kind of conversation. It requires the right expertise, credibility, and hand-in-hand with our clients, were increasingly able to facilitate that and drive and accelerate the drug development process through some of these barriers. 

What I hear repeatedly, and I'm most heartened about is customers complimenting us as showing up as part of their team, integrating in their teams, not being arrogant and telling them how to develop a product, but rather go in in listening mode, understand their challenges, and then bring the right expertise to the table to help them to succeed.

Our solution experts

Real-world evidence

Explore the impact of a therapy or disease in a real-world setting, generating data that can support your value proposition without additional burden to the patient. Our real-world evidence (RWE) strategies help reassure payers, regulators, providers, and patients that your clinical results are reflective of what will be evidenced in real-world practice, helping demonstrate value before, during, and after launch.

21%more likely drug launch with RWD

Our research with the Economist Intelligence revealed how real-world data (RWD) strategies like ours significantly improve the likelihood of a drug launching.

Market access strategy and delivery

The potential for new treatments to benefit patients becomes a reality in the later stages of clinical development. But success relies on satisfying the needs of key stakeholders. Neglecting the data required by regulatory agencies, payers, prescribers and health technology assessment (HTA) agencies can cause significant, and costly delays between approval and reimbursement.
