The 5 Key Questions Addressed by this Report:

• How many physicians were reached by Evicel through personal promotion in 2014 and how does this compare to its peer set in the Surgical Bleeding market?
• What promotional mix was leveraged (e.g., sales rep detailing, physician education, and paid speaking) and what was the median spend on each type of activity?
• How does J&J’s depth of coverage vary within key specialties (e.g., General Surgery, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Urology, Thoracic Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, and Neurosurgery) and how does this compare to its peers and the overall set of rep-accessible physicians?
• How often are physicians receiving paid meals for Evicel throughout the year (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually)?
• Who were the most detailed prescribers and top paid speakers/consultants for Evicel in 2014?

Data Sources and Methodology:

• MDDetails leverages company-reported financial transaction data disclosed through CMS Open Payments. This data set captures all transfers of value (e.g., speaking fees, consulting fees, travel, education, and meals) made on behalf of a drug or device manufacturer to a physician. Currently, 30 months of longitudinal data is available – covering payments to more than 800,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
• Over 1,700 paid interactions across 1,400 physicians made on behalf of Evicel were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 5 peer products (e.g. Floseal, Gelfoam, Recothrom, Thrombin, and Tisseel) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
