SITUATION

A large pharmaceutical company wanted to better understand where their portfolio of treatments could become a meaningful option for a specific type of rare disease within a larger disease area.

APPROACH

Using a multi-modal qualitative approach, Luminas garnered a deep understanding of this patient type across key markets in the US and several global markets.

In-depth interviews and focus groups were augmented by online patient journals and unique projective techniques to bring to life this hard-to-reach patient population's intimate experience and perspective.
