Changes in Physician Sentiment in the Wake of Avandia
— A Webinar from Decision Resources
You are invited to attend a webinar from Decision Resources, one of the world’s leading research and advisory firms focusing on pharmaceutical and healthcare issues.
Based on our recent Physician and Payer Forum report, Avandia One Year Later: A Physician and Payer Perspective, Decision Resources is offering an exclusive, in-depth webinar entitled Changes in Physician Sentiment in the Wake of Avandia. Because this report will feature major report findings, it is only available to purchasers of this report.
The webinar will take a retrospective look at the meta-analysis published in May 2007 by Steve Nissen in the New England Journal of Medicine and its impact on the commercial landscape today. Topics
will include
highlights from the 2007 meeting of the American Diabetes Association and the FDA-mandated black box warning for both Avandia and Actos regarding the risk for edema and chronic heart failure.
This exclusive in-depth webinar will be presented by the author of the report, Decision Resources analyst Donny Wong, Ph.D.
Dr. Wong will answer the following questions:
- How will prescribing for PPAR-gamma agonists and competing drug classes evolve over 2008? Which agents will gain most from Avandia's loss?
- Do clinicians consider the cardiovascular safety issues to represent a class effect?
- What are physicians’ perceptions of the best and worst antidiabetic agents in terms of overall efficacy, safety, and convenience?
- How do physicians rate individual agents with respect to their propensity to cause congestive heart failure, weight gain, and hypoglycemia?
- How has managed care responded to the Avandia meta-analysis?
- How are physicians in emerging markets responding to the meta-analysis?
Dr. Wong will conduct a live question and answer session following the presentation.
