Abstract
The Medical Affairs (MA) function in pharmaceutical companies creates a unique opportunity to ensure the internal linkage between Research & Development (R&D) and Commercial/Marketing functions, in addition to managing external scientific engagements with multiple stakeholders across life-science ecosystems. In recognition of the strategic value of MA, the objective of this paper is to share a comprehensive set of practical examples of the main deliverables within the MA function in the affiliate and align these with the two distinct phases; pre- and post-launch, respectively. We believe that an information gap currently exists in the available literature on these matters addressing practical aspects and examples beyond visionary, strategic thinking. Based on this contribution, further opportunities within MA can be discussed. In addition, we share our thoughts and considerations on future advancements in the role.
期刊介绍：
Pharmaceutical Medicine is a specialist discipline concerned with medical aspects of the discovery, development, evaluation, registration, regulation, monitoring, marketing, distribution and pricing of medicines, drug-device and drug-diagnostic combinations. The Journal disseminates information to support the community of professionals working in these highly inter-related functions. Key areas include translational medicine, clinical trial design, pharmacovigilance, clinical toxicology, drug regulation, clinical pharmacology, biostatistics and pharmacoeconomics. The Journal includes:Overviews of contentious or emerging issues.Comprehensive narrative reviews that provide an authoritative source of information on topical issues.Systematic reviews that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by PRISMA statement.Original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies with a strong link to wider areas of clinical research.Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Pharmaceutical Medicine may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.All manuscripts are subject to peer review by international experts. Letters to the Editor are welcomed and will be considered for publication.
