Situation

  • Client was nearing the end of clinical study having completed other clinical studies in the past
  • None of the client’s previous submissions to medical conferences were accepted for oral podium presentations and no manuscripts had been published
  • Client believed that the results would be importantly positive and should have a higher profile in the medical community

Challenge

  • Client doubted whether their data, even if positive, was important enough to the medical community to command a podium presentation
  • Even if accepted for an oral scientific presentation at a top tier conference, deciding on which one conference to target was unclear
  • Client had not cultivated key opinion leader author feedback and advocacy for the candidate or the data
  • No relationships with professional societies’ staff or understanding of the intricate and nonpublic process for the various scientific committees
