Deerfield Continues to Advance Healthcare Through the Publication of Novel Findings

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 2015, Deerfield Management Company has contributed to advancing healthcare through the publication of 29 articles, editorials and abstracts. These publications are based on scientifically driven market research, development of novel approaches to constructing and analyzing clinical trials, and activities central to the analysis of markets and policy across the healthcare field. 

Deerfield believes that dissemination of novel findings could benefit academic, industrial and governmental organizations interested in understanding patient characteristics, improving patient care, speeding therapies to market, and optimizing healthcare policy. 

As an illustration of the impact of such publications in the healthcare policy environment, the September 2016 publication entitled "Use of FDA-Approved and Laboratory-Developed Tests in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Results of a Retrospective Market Analysis" was used during a one-hour Senate briefing on the future of precision medicine and patient care: current landscape of genomic testing that took place on October 13, 2016, and organized by Friends of Cancer Research.
