Data synthesis: Network Meta Analysis (NMA)

Head to head trials involving two or more interventions are expensive and time-consuming. As such, they primarily serve a regulatory purpose and, where appropriate, are limited to placebo-controlled trials.

However, the ‘which intervention is better?’ question remains.

The NMA is a better approach to use data in the public domain to model expected outcomes from two or more interventions. Recognised by NICE as a valid approach to understand these expected outcomes in the absence of head to head data, Medialis has vast experience in designing and executing these for publication in support of medical objectives.

Medialis Method supports RWE delivery

Medialis is a medical affairs consultancy servicing the pharmaceutical industry. Unlike some other agencies, we are proactive, not reactive or one-dimensional – if you need it, we can do it.

Pharmaceutical industry medical affairs physicians have more influence over customer prescribing than their sales force.

Within a pharma company, the medical department lead all non-promotional activities (shown in red and green) and these results would seem to make a good case for increasing the relative emphasis on medical spend in relation to the promotional one. At the very least, more medical key evidence-generating activities should be carried out that culminate in a publication.

Given the long history pharma has with the sales representative, it may take a while to steer this oil tanker in a new direction. That said, it may just be time to start turning the wheel.
