We are thrilled to be partnering with IQVIA to support and execute our commercialization strategy for AZSTARYS.”
Under the agreement, IQVIA will deploy a tailored combination of technology, analytics, and field services to enable coordinated, effective engagements with healthcare professionals who treat ADHD. IQVIA’s team of sales reps and medical liaisons will complement Corium’s deep internal ADHD and commercialization expertise and customer-facing leadership. Corium will also be supported by IQVIA’s Orchestrated Customer Engagement (OCE) SaaS-based platform, which connects sales, marketing, and medical with AI-enabled recommendations through an intuitive and efficient user experience.
