We are thrilled to be partnering with IQVIA to support and execute our commercialization strategy for AZSTARYS.”
Under the agreement, IQVIA will deploy a tailored combination of technology, analytics, and field services to enable coordinated, effective engagements with healthcare professionals who treat ADHD. IQVIA’s team of sales reps and medical liaisons will complement Corium’s deep internal ADHD and commercialization expertise and customer-facing leadership. Corium will also be supported by IQVIA’s Orchestrated Customer Engagement (OCE) SaaS-based platform, which connects sales, marketing, and medical with AI-enabled recommendations through an intuitive and efficient user experience.
“This is an excellent example of how IQVIA’s depth of expertise and breadth of offerings can support companies that are launching for the first time and need to maximize every engagement,” said Susan Kitlas, a vice president of sales dedicated to pre-commercial clients. “Leveraging IQVIA Connected Intelligence, Corium will be able to tap into the data, technology, analytics, and other resources they need to commercialize with speed, agility, and scale.
