Accelerating R&D Efforts Through Patient Data Repository Partnerships

A multinational pharmaceutical company sought support in developing a strategy to partner with public/academic cancer patient data repositories to advance its own R&D programs.

Shift Health conducted secondary research to gather background information on identified cancer patient data repositories, including operating models, data collection processes and key outcomes. Shift Health also conducted consultations to develop a robust understanding of the challenges, gaps, success factors and opportunities for industry involvement. The final report provided an overview of the landscape and prioritized repositories of potential interest.

The company used Shift Health’s report to develop and implement a formal strategy for engaging with cancer patient data repositories and aligning internal R&D efforts.
