PRINCETON, NJ - Nov 8, 2018 - Certara®, the global leader in model-informed drug development, regulatory science, real-world evidence and market access, today announced that its Evidence, Value & Access team will host an educational symposium and present 18 research posters at ISPOR Europe 2018. ISPOR is the leading educational and scientific organization for health economics and outcomes research (HEOR). ISPOR Europe will be held from Nov. 10-14 at the Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona (CCIB) in Spain. Certara is proud to be platinum sponsor of this year’s meeting.

Certara’s Evidence, Value & Access team combines the strengths of two industry leaders - Analytica Laser, which leverages value and access strategy, decision analytics and real-world evidence solutions to develop scientific evidence of therapeutic value, and BaseCase, which employs its proprietary, cloud-based SaaS platform to communicate that value to stakeholders. Certara acquired both companies in the first half of 2018 and is now providing joint solutions to its pharmaceutical and medtech clients.

“The need to generate evidence and communicate the real-world value of new therapies effectively to payers, health authorities, physicians and patients is growing in importance. Certara’s unique set of competencies are rooted in the use of quantitative methodologies to help our clients optimize their most consequential R&D and commercial decisions. To that end, we employ high quality population health intelligence to sharpen a product’s value messages as well as visual communications to clearly convey complex supporting data to those key stakeholders,” said President of Certara Strategic Consulting Services, Thomas Kerbusch, PhD.

Interested parties can meet Certara Evidence, Value & Access experts at booth #801 or book an appointment at https://campaigns.basecase.net/meet-us-at-ispor-europe-2018?utm_campaign=ISPOR%20Barcelona%202018&utm_source=External%20linking.
