Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Advisory Boards

Key Core Expertise area for MMRI/MMS

One of our core areas of expertise is conducting Ad Boards with KOLs or Specialists on a National, Regional or International basis - in ANY therapeutic area and in ANY region in the world. Most frequently our Advisory Boards are conducted in Europe, the USA and Japan.

What benefits can you expect - from MMRI Ad Boards?

This is an extremely productive methodological approach, and since we usually conduct Ad Boards in central viewing facilities, with video conferencing capabilities, you can attend them personally without your identity being revealed to the participants. Or you may have them relayed to your own office, or filmed (they are always audio recorded).

The proceedings are always content analysed in great detail, and the results presented in the form of a written report as well as a personal presentation and discussion.

Broadly speaking, our Ad Boards have covered:-

  • R & D issues
  • Clinical Research issues
  • Marketing and Marketing Development issues
  • Licensing and Development

    • More specifically, examples where we have used Advisory Boards with great success include:

    • Exploration of future treatment/management scenarios
    • Exploration of Target Product Profiles (TPPs)
    • Evaluation of in-licensing opportunities
    • Reaction to major clinical trial results
    • Product development strategy

    Strategic positioning options

    • Clinical trial strategy and design
    • Assistance with registration procedures
    • Exploration and discussion of Communication programs
    • Development of product champions

    The duration of the Advisory Boards depends on the nature and extent of the topics to be covered.

    e-Ad Board

    MMRI/MMS are also able to offer online Advisory Boards; the e-Ad Board methodology 'pioneered' by MMRI/MMS allows our clients to engage the KOLs or specialists in a discussion when it is convenient for them to participate. KOLs or specialists are able to access the e-Ad Board site and answer the questions or post their comments to the other participants' responses. An experienced moderator will serve as a catalyst to guide and develop the discussion by probing on particular topics of interest. Detailed analysis is provided on an ongoing basis, with a final comprehensive presentation on completion of the study.
