Campaign overview

The marketing strategy for Revlimid's launch broke new ground in the way orphan medicines were appraised for their value and made available to NHS patients. Celgene were at the forefront of a campaign that mobilised a ground swell of patient, clinician and political support for the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) reform for orphan medicines and took the opportunities presented by a more flexible market access environment to find innovative ways to support Revlimid to market.

Judges' comments

"Celgene mobilised a ground swell of support from patients, clinicians and political stakeholders for market access reform, not purely for their product. Having identified that existing NICE and SMC methodologies didn't work for orphan drugs, they were truly innovative in the way they collaborated with stakeholders, working diligently and steadfastly with their customers to address market access issues."
