A case study on how leading pharma companies in hematology turned to DelveInsight for long-term KOL profiling support. DelveInsight facilitated strategic engagement with respected KOLs, bolstering the client's reputation as an industry leader. Positive endorsements and advocacy from KOLs enhanced the client's credibility, differentiated their brand, and ultimately led to increased market share and a stronger competitive advantage.

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight, a leader in healthcare competitive intelligence and consulting, released a case study on KOL Profiling in the Pharmaceutical Industry. A prominent client in the pharmaceutical sector approached DelveInsight to address challenges in identifying Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) within specific therapeutic areas, including Oncology and Immunology. 

Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) are essential in shaping healthcare strategies by offering insights that influence clinical decisions and treatment adoption. Engaging with KOLs early helps align therapies with patient needs and market trends. KOL profiling combines quantitative metrics like publications and clinical trial involvement with qualitative assessments to ensure companies engage the right experts. These efforts foster meaningful partnerships, driving clinical adoption and advocacy.

Immuno-oncology has transformed cancer treatment by harnessing the immune system to target cancers. Recent advancements are leading to the development of next-generation therapies that could have a greater impact across all cancer stages, improving patient outcomes. With a deeper understanding of the immune system, these breakthroughs are set to revolutionize cancer care.

Our client approached us at DelveInsight, struggling to navigate a rapidly shifting landscape of experts, researchers, and influencers. They faced significant challenges in identifying the most influential Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) essential for advisory boards, clinical trials, and promotional activities.
