Clinical Development Intelligence

We provide the insights drug developers need now
to launch the most clinically-meaningful therapies of the future

 

Our clients rely on us to distill disparate data streams into the customized takeaways they need to stay ahead of the pack

We get into the weeds, so our clients don’t have to

  • We identify the signal through the noise across crowded landscapes

  • We recognize emerging trends and contextualize big picture market dynamics

  • We save our clients time by delivering what they need to know when they need to know it, nothing more, nothing less

We’re passionate about “widening the lens” for our biotech and pharma partners to re-envision the treatment paradigm and advance the most game-changing therapies for all patients

The global landscape of research and drug development has never been more competitive

All this activity bodes well for future patients in need of safer, more effective medicines. But for the companies doing the work, it adds a challenge: What will the standard of care look like when your therapy is ready to launch? Will the benefit you expect to provide be meaningful to patients then?

At Brass Tacks, we derive the insights your team needs to consider threats and opportunities they may not have otherwise perceived. We triangulate information from multiple perspectives, to illuminate any blind spots in your current thinking and future casting.

Then, we differentiate our deliverables so that every stakeholder on your team has the best opportunity to learn and contribute in the way that works best for them.

What our clients say about us...

  • “We initially started using Brass Tacks for a limited CI project. Eileen and her team quickly understood the company and what we needed. Within a short period of time, they became our go-to group for any and all scientific affairs questions, difficult literature searches, and general thought partnership. We came to heavily rely on them on a daily basis. We also used them to hone in on our clinical indications as the landscape of care was changing.”

    — Board Member and former CEO | Mid-Cap Biotech

  • “We gave Eileen and her team the daunting tasks of doing competitive landscape analysis on two newer but rapidly growing drug therapy fields. Within a short period of time, Brass Tacks Health was able to deliver high quality, thorough, and insightful data that informed many key business and clinical strategies as well as the development of our corporate positioning. Brass Tacks Health were also exceptional partners to work with and took the time to get to know our company, our goals, and how they could best deliver results that would provide the greatest impact.”

    — Clinical Scientist | Privately-Held Biotech

  • “Brass Tacks sets an especially high standard, consistently delivering intel that’s insightful, accurate, and directly relevant to our key business questions. They are proactive about addressing our potential follow-up questions and highly responsive to every ad hoc request we have. It’s a pleasure working with them.”

    — Director of Strategic Planning | Top 10 Pharma Company

  • “Even a small biotech with limited internal resources needs to keep up to date with competing products in development. Having a solid understanding of this evolving landscape is critical for discussions with investors and ensuring the right strategic decisions are made. Brass Tacks have met our needs, pulling together two non-oncology therapeutic area analyses. The work is comprehensive and insightful. We have been able to quickly incorporate the results into strategic planning. Eileen and her team do a great job!”

    –CFO, Privately-Held Biotech

  • “We are a data-driven health IT company. Eileen and her team developed critical next steps for us to expand our research program, based on their own in-depth analyses of our scientific approach. This included collecting stakeholder input and conducting a detailed literature review. Eileen then personally facilitated a key multi-site prospective trial to demonstrate our ROI. Throughout this process, the Brass Tacks team maintained a high-touch relationship that brought all of this work together and kept our research efforts focused on the most impactful outcomes.”

    – Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Privately-Held Health IT Company

  • “The Brass Tacks team does very thorough, detailed work. They also do a great job delivering those details in the context of the bigger picture and emerging trends with excellent visuals, that allows the complexity to be visualized. We depend on the intel they provide to decide which targets and indications to prioritize. We have come to view Eileen and her team as part of our inner circle of thought partners.”
