Meeting Patient Needs While Safeguarding Gross to Net: Designing Smarter Support Programs pesurya

Resource Type
Promotion End

Sweeping federal policy changes and demonstrations (IRA, MFN, DTP, O3BA) are set to increase the cost burden US patients will soon face for specialty and biologic therapies. In addition to policy changes, health plan designs (e.g., copay adjustment programs) as well as unexpected pharmacy practices (e.g., improper claims) may negatively impact biopharmaceutical brands’ gross to net (GTN) performance and patient support programs.

In this session, you will learn how to strengthen your patient support program design to better meet patient needs, all while protecting gross-to-net. We’ll discuss:

  • The expected impact of federal policy changes and demonstrations on GTN performance for specialty and biologic therapies
  • Strategies to identify and address unprofitable claims
  • Approaches to better determine patient needs at the time of enrollment
  • AI-driven methods for monitoring and improving pharmacy practices

Clarivate Drugs to Watch 2026 Webinar Series: Sessions 1 & 2

Clarivate Drugs to Watch 2026 Webinar Series: Sessions 1 & 2 dwunderlin

Resource Type

A four-part live analyst series exploring the biggest trends shaping 2026, from obesity blockbusters to rare disease innovation, oncology breakthroughs and women's health.


February 11, 2026 | 10:00am EST- The Metabolic Revolution: Clarivate Drugs to Watch 2026 and the Race to Reinvent Weight Loss
The global obesity drug market is projected to reach $150 billion by 2035, driven by an unprecedented wave of innovation in GLP-1 receptor agonists and next-generation metabolic therapies. This webinar will unveil Clarivate's highly anticipated Drugs to Watch 2026 report, spotlighting 11 transformative therapies poised to reshape treatment paradigms across multiple therapeutic frontiers—from metabolic disease to rare conditions, precision oncology, and women's health.
Following a comprehensive overview of this year's blockbuster candidates, our expert panel will take a deeper dive into the obesity and metabolic disease space, examining how orforglipron and retatrutide from Eli Lilly exemplify the next generation of metabolic therapies. We will explore the critical challenges facing this explosive market, including the demand for oral formulations, triple-hormone mechanisms delivering superior weight loss, real-world adherence barriers, payer coverage limitations, and emerging solutions targeting amylin, cannabinoid receptors, and activin pathways to preserve lean body mass.
Join Clarivate analysts and industry consultants as they discuss what differentiates winning therapies in this crowded space, the evolving competitive landscape, and strategic imperatives for pharmaceutical executives navigating the metabolic revolution in 2026 and beyond.
March 11, 2026 | 10:00am EST - Drugs to Watch: Precision, Remission, Progression: Four Transformative Therapies Reshaping Chronic Rare Disease Management in 2026
The chronic disease and inflammation landscape is undergoing profound transformation. Rather than managing symptoms, next-generation precision therapies are increasingly targeting the root immunological drivers of disease, enabling remission discussions and halting progression across multiple therapeutic areas. 
This webinar explores four groundbreaking anti-inflammatory and disease-modifying therapies that exemplify this paradigm shift:  
  • the selective APRIL inhibition of VOYXACT (sibeprenlimab) addressing the immunopathology of the kidney disease IgAN;  
  • the targeted oral IL-23 receptor antagonism of Icotrokinra for plaque psoriasis, challenging injectable biologics in dermatology;   
  • the brain-penetrant BTK inhibition of tolebrutinib, transforming multiple sclerosis treatment; 
  • and the ultra-long-acting IL-5 inhibition of depemokimab redefining severe asthma management. 
Through in-depth clinical and commercial analysis from leading industry specialists at Clarivate, we will examine the pivotal clinical trial evidence, competitive positioning, market impact, and the specific unmet needs each therapy addresses.  
Discover how convenient delivery systems, precision mechanisms, and disease-modifying potential are reshaping treatment algorithms—and the commercial and regulatory hurdles each must overcome to achieve blockbuster status.

Enabling Next-Generation AI in Autoimmune R&D.

Enabling Next-Generation AI in Autoimmune R&D. jpiatt

Resource Type
Promotion Start
Promotion End

Autoimmune diseases are dynamic, varied, and difficult to characterize using traditional clinical visits and static datasets. As drug developers rely on AI and biomarker-driven approaches to understand disease activity and therapeutic response, they face a fundamental limitation: most available data offers only isolated snapshots in time, missing the dynamic transitions that truly define immune-mediated conditions.                              

In this discussion, our speakers will explore how longitudinal, temporally relevant, multimodal data collected through direct connections with individuals can help unlock new opportunities across early R&D for immune-mediated diseases. Attendees will gain insights on how these data can be used to sharpen R&D confidence in early-phase programs and support AI-driven innovation in autoimmune drug development.

  • Learn how to redesign your autoimmune data strategy by identifying gaps in current data sets and determining where continuous data collection can strengthen biomarkers and translational efforts
  • Apply real world and molecular signals to detect early flare signatures and characterize transitions between disease states
  • Integrate longitudinal evidence into biomarker development decisions
  • Strengthen translational and early development strategy with time-based patterns in immune activity data
