Methodology
This report provides a qualitative overview of the current and future Hepatitis C (HCV) market. Information was gathered from telephone discussions held with twelve key opinion leaders (KOLs), from across the major HCV markets, including France, Germany, Italy, the UK and the US. These regions were selected because they contain many of the largest global markets for the pharmaceutical industry, and also influence the dynamics of Pharma markets in other countries.
In order to critically select Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) a number of parameters were considered including their clinical experience, scientific publications, involvement with Pharma, involvement in clinical trials, and record of presenting at high profile international conferences.
Subject matter for discussion in the interviews covered future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HCV, the future of HCV drug classes, and new drugs entering the market. These leading KOLs also gave their views on current research, the usefulness of existing HCV drug classes, the cost of newer drugs and other concerns in the therapy area.
