SUMMARY: If I were to ask you, “what type of company is Biogen?” what would be your response? I tried asking that of several colleagues in the industry, and they couldn’t come up with an answer. Biogen has lost its way and is in desperate need of a corporate rebranding. This week two colleagues, who worked at Biogen, left the company because they knew that the ax was coming after the failure of Aduhelm.

The study applied machine learning to trial data involving 15,659 patients who were being treated for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), a form of heart failure where the left side of the heart isn’t able to pump blood effectively around the body.

SUMMARY: Like it or not, there will not be a return to normal for DTC marketing. The onset of wrong, inaccurate, or confusing medical information forces people to go online or talk to their doctor about treatment options. DTC marketers need to get more personal and stop using a generic formula for marketing. Visting my doctor for my annual physical, I noticed huge LCD screens in each exam room with rotating ads for everything from prescription drugs to vitamins.

SUMMARY: Those working in pharma know that ageism exists, especially in the sales force. Pharma has been purging older employees for some time, and when you reach the magic age of 50+, you’re going to be pushed to take “early retirement.” My workstation while at Lilly was right next to the sales training center. Some of the trainees looked like they were right out of school, but they all had one thing in common; they were young and great-looking.
