    Episode 8: Launching Lumara –– What Success Could Look Like

    Launching Lumara — What Success Could Look Like Episode 8 brings the series together with a pragmatic launch integration plan: how a specialty biologic turns strategy into day-one execution. We outline the success factors that consistently separate winners: clear, payer-oriented messaging; layered evidence with early RWE; real-time competitive response; cross-TA access innovation; and tight alignment across Access, HEOR, Medical, and Field. You’ll hear how Lumara’s team pressure-tests readiness with a pre-mortem mindset and a facilitated dry run—logging risks, owners, and mitigations so the first 60 days move on signal, not scramble. What you’ll learn How to run a launch “war room” simulation and convert gaps into accountable workstreams.The core success factors: differentiated value story, RWE layering, always-on CI, and access model design.Practical day-one tools: a visual launch dashboard tied to KPIs and dates, real-time CI alerts, and an escalation SWAT team.Using series “red threads” as checkpoints to keep payers, providers, and patients at the center.Featured segments The Dry Run: owners, risks, and mitigations that stickFrom Slides to Systems: dashboards, alerts, and field feedback loopsDefining Success: early signals, leading KPIs, and what to adjust in week twoBottom line Launch readiness isn’t a binder; it’s an operating system—built to learn fast, escalate early, and translate intelligence into action.

    Episode 7: Lessons from Elsewhere — What Other TAs Are Doing Better

    Lessons from Elsewhere — What Other TAs Are Doing Better Episode 7 looks outside severe asthma to borrow what works in oncology, migraine, and rare disease—and translate those access innovations to Lumara’s launch. We break down biomarker-tiered approaches and predictive outcome modeling from oncology; responder-based, modular reimbursement and pharmacy-channel starter kits from migraine; and concierge-style support with seamless financial triage from rare diseases. Then we map what’s portable, what’s risky, and where to pilot first. What you’ll learn Which cross-TA tactics actually move access: biomarker-stratified messaging, responder-trial periods, and shared-outcomes payer pilots.How “pick-your-path” patient support UX, eRx onboarding, and pre-cert dashboards reduce friction and build trust.Where these models break at scale—and how to avoid payer pushback on perceived cost layering.Practical options for Lumara: concierge-lite tiering, precision framing for aligned phenotypes, and measured pilots with clear success criteria.Featured segments Oncology to Asthma: Biomarker Playbooks that TranslateMigraine’s Modular Coverage: Trial, Respond, Then CommitRare Disease Services: Trust-Building at Scale—Without OverreachBottom line Cross-TA borrowing isn’t copy-paste. It’s selective translation—pilot what fits, prove value fast, and retire what doesn’t.

    Episode 6: The Unknown Unknowns -- How Much Intel Are Your Competitors Gathering?

    The Unknown Unknowns — How Much Intel Are Your Competitors Gathering? Episode 6 pulls back the curtain on competitive intelligence (CI) maturity in severe asthma launches—what top teams track, how fast they learn, and why it matters for pricing, access, messaging, and patient support. We contrast integrated, always-on CI programs with reactive, vendor-only approaches, and show how social listening, field feedback loops, KOL digital patterns, and payer advisory monitoring translate into real decisions. You’ll also hear the most common failure points—time lag from signal to action, siloed insights, and low field trust—and how Lumara can build an “always-on” CI operating system before launch. What you’ll learn The CI modalities that actually change strategy (field synthesis, payer boards, social signal mining, KOL patterns)How dominant vs. challenger brands structure CI—and where they stumblePractical ways to close gaps: dashboards, incentives, Medical/Access triangulation, faster synthesis-to-action cyclesHow to estimate what rivals already know about you—and plan accordinglyFeatured segments Inside the CI Stack: From Field Notes to Signals that StickBenchmarks & Blind Spots: What the Best Teams Do DifferentlyBuild the OS: Always-On CI, Incentives, and Weekly Cadence

    Episode 5: Scaling the Access Wall –– Real-World Evidence as a Differentiator

    Episode 5: Scaling the Access Wall — Real-World Evidence as a Differentiator In episode 5, we explore how real-world evidence (RWE) has become the currency of access decisions. Beyond trials, payers want proof in routine care—on exacerbations, persistence, and healthcare utilization—and they use it for formulary positioning and renewal negotiations. We compare how leading severe-asthma brands deploy RWE today (e.g., registry analyses, integrated claims/EMR studies, regional dashboards) and outline Lumara’s options nine to twelve months pre-launch: claims/EMR partnerships, a purpose-built observational cohort, peer-reviewed publications and reprints, and interactive budget-impact tools for field teams. We also highlight what plans expect: local relevance, layered storytelling (trials + RWE + cost modeling), conservative framing, and scenario analysis. What you’ll learn How plans weigh RWE vs. trial data in tiering and renewalsWhich data sources and partnerships move the needle (claims/EMR, registries, payer dashboards)How to localize insights for Commercial, Medicare Part D, Medicaid, and regional MCOsWays to embed RWE in AMCP dossiers and access tools—without overclaimingPractical guardrails: transparency, bias, and connecting efficacy to observed practice Featured segments What Counts as “Real” for Payers?Build the RWE Stack: Partnerships, Cohorts, and DashboardsFrom Evidence to Access: Playbook, KPIs, and Guardrails

    Episode 4: Message Battles –– What Are Competitors Telling Payers (and How)?

    Purpose of Episode: In Episode 4 we'll explore how existing brands in the Severe Asthma market are positioning their value stories to payers — in both economic and clinical terms. The episode will examine the structure, tone, and content of competitor access messaging, including AMCP dossiers, value decks, and in-field conversations. Lumara’s team must develop a differentiated and credible payer narrative — one that can cut through entrenched positioning and resonate with pharmacy and medical directors. Target Listener Persona: VP/Director of Market Access MarketingHEOR leads responsible for value story developmentPayer strategy and access communications professionalsLaunch team members shaping the AMCP dossier and field toolsMain Learning Objectives: Identify common access messaging themes used by leading Severe Asthma brandsLearn how different brands frame clinical differentiation, economic impact, and access valueUnderstand the importance of tone, evidence design, and channel in payer messagingExplore how Lumara can avoid sounding like a “me-too” while still aligning with payer prioritiesNarrative Framing: Lumara’s AMCP dossier is in early developmentThe payer marketing team is under pressure to articulate both value and uniquenessCompetitor messaging is highly polished — but patterns and gaps are starting to emergeFictional Context to Be Maintained: Lumara’s outcomes data are promising but still maturingInternal debate exists over whether to emphasize clinical differentiation or economic models firstThe HEOR team is proposing a scenario-based budget impact toolGenflare has synthesized recent payer messaging examples across the TAFeatured Segments in Episode: “Access Claims in the Wild: Real Excerpts, Real Impact”“Saying the Same Thing Differently: How Message Tone Changes Perception”“If You Were a Payer: What Would You Actually Believe?”

    Episode 3: Patient Support Showdown –– HUBs, Copays, and Frictionless Starts

    Patient Support Showdown — HUBs, Copays, and Frictionless Starts Episode 3 zeroes in on the first-fill moment and early adherence—where HUB design, copay policy, and specialty-pharmacy handoffs can make or break momentum. We unpack the essentials of high-performing programs (benefits investigation, real-time PA tracking, FRM support, nurse case management, and digital enrollment) and spotlight where patients and offices most often stall.  You’ll hear how leading severe-asthma brands approach onboarding today, what providers say about enrollment friction, and why time to first dose—often 10–18 days—has become the metric that moves share. We also explore practical ways Lumara could streamline starts without adding risk: single-page digital enrollment, transparent SP assignment, tiered concierge options, and embedded TTFD benchmarks. What you’ll learn How HUB, copay, and SP integration shape initiation and persistenceThe top delay drivers—and how to design them out of the workflowWhere FRMs and nurse case managers deliver outsized impactPractical guardrails: compliance, inducement risk, and data stewardshipFeatured segments Frictionless Starts: Designing the HUB That WorksWhere Patients Get Lost—and How to Catch ThemPlaybook in Practice: KPIs, TTFD, and Office Experience

    Episode 2: The Coverage Chessboard

    The Coverage Chessboard — Formulary Status and Rebate Wars Episode 2 dives into the real engine of access: how plans decide who gets preferred, who gets blocked, and what it really costs to move tiers. We unpack the payer dynamics shaping severe asthma today—tiering norms, step edits, and prior auth criteria—then walk through what wins preferred placement: net price after rebates, label breadth and real-world outcomes, ease of administration, and the quality of patient services. You’ll also hear how the competitive set (Dupixent, Tezspire, Fasenra, Nucala) influences plan logic across Commercial, Medicare Part D, Medicaid, and regional MCOs, plus why pre-launch engagement and contracting transparency are rising expectations.  What you’ll learn How tiering, step edits, and prior auths actually play out in severe asthmaThe levers that move a product to preferred statusNational vs. regional plan differences — and what to watch in Part DWhen to rebate to win vs. pilot value-based and outcomes-based contractsFeatured segments What Gets You Preferred?Inside P&T: From Step Edits to PA EvidencePlaybook Options: Rebates, Outcomes Deals, and Regional Pilots
