Beyond FEV1: Similar Efficacy, Different Outcome

Accelerating Payor-Ready Evidence Through Faster Recruitment, Broader Populations, and Remote Data Capture

In a market where multiple respiratory biologics show comparable FEV1 and exacerbation improvements, the evidence strategy is the differentiator. For Medical Affairs teams, the pressure is familiar: deliver payor-ready outcomes — ED visit reduction, steroid burden, hospitalisations, treatment persistence — in populations that reflect real-world clinical practice, on timelines that maintain competitive advantage in narrow launch windows.

Where site-based approaches are reaching their limits — recruitment speed, access to older, comorbid, polypharmacy, and mobility-limited patients, consistent longitudinal data capture outside the clinic — the operational model needs to evolve alongside the evidence ambition. Particularly in respiratory conditions where variability, adherence, and environment matter.

In this webinar, panelists from across pharma, managed care, academic medicine, and clinical operations discuss how respiratory programmes are addressing these constraints in practice.

Why This Matters Now

  • Multiple biologics with similar efficacy — the differentiation window is narrowing
  • Payors and HTA bodies expect real-world, patient-relevant outcomes earlier in the lifecycle
  • Recruitment timelines are now the critical path to launch
  • The gap between what dossiers typically include and what decision-makers weigh is widening

What You’ll Hear

How respiratory programmes are:

  • Accelerating recruitment timelines through decentralised and hybrid models that reach patients site-only approaches miss
  • Reaching broader, more representative populations — including older, comorbid, and mobility-limited patients rarely captured in pivotal data
  • Capturing consistent, diagnostic-grade respiratory data remotely using validated tools such as home spirometry (e.g. GoSpiro) — across both mobile and immobile patients, at home and in community settings
  • Generating payor-relevant endpoints — exacerbations, ED visits, steroid burden, hospitalisations, treatment persistence — with real-world rigour
  • Designing Phase 3b/4 and prospective RWE studies that balance speed, quality, and regulatory credibility

What You’ll Leave With

  • A clear picture of what payors and HTA bodies require in respiratory biologic evidence packages — and where the gaps are
  • A practical framework for accelerating recruitment while expanding into representative, real-world populations
  • How remote diagnostics enable richer, more consistent datasets from diverse patient populations outside the clinic
  • How to structure Phase 3b/4 and RWE studies for both speed and submission credibility on launch-relevant timelines

Chair
Dr. John Matthews
Chief Medical Officer
ReCode Therapeutics, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, Imperial College
Pulmonologist and clinical drug developer with over 21 years of experience across all phases of development, including large and small molecules and inhaled drug delivery. Previously held leadership roles at GSK, Roche/Genentech, and 23andMe. Ph.D. in respiratory clinical pharmacology from Imperial College London.
Panelists
Dr. John Hurst
Professor & Pro Vice Provost
University College London
NIHR Global Health Research Professor and senior academic clinician. His research on exacerbation phenotyping and biomarker-driven patient stratification directly addresses the gap between pivotal trial populations and the heterogeneous patients seen in real-world practice. Former Senior Clinical Lead to the UK National Respiratory Audit Programme (NACAP) and Key Opinion Leader to major pharmaceutical companies on respiratory evidence strategy.
Joanne Fletcher, PHD
Former Clinical Lead, Respiratory Biologics
GSK
R&D leader with 20+ years in respiratory clinical operations. At GSK, she was instrumental in delivering the Salford Lung Studies — among the largest pragmatic real-world effectiveness trials ever conducted in respiratory medicine — enrolling broad, representative populations including comorbid and community-based patients, and building evidence strategies that shaped payor and formulary positioning for respiratory biologics.
Andrew Cournoyer
SVP, Head Access Experience Team
Precision AQ
Recognised managed care leader and payor industry expert with over 20 years of experience in drug coverage benefit design, market access, and formulary strategy. Specialises in the reimbursement decisions, innovative contracting, and utilisation management programmes that determine how payors evaluate and differentiate competing respiratory therapeutics — and what evidence they need to see from real-world populations to support coverage.
José Ramos, MEd, RRT, RPFT
Director, IDN & Clinical Trials
Monitored Therapeutics
Lung function testing specialist since 1995, formerly Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory network at Cleveland Clinic. Leads clinical trials operations for MTI’s GoSpiro, one of the few diagnostic-quality home spirometers validated for regulatory submissions. GoSpiro enables consistent, high-frequency spirometry data capture outside the clinic — reaching both mobile and mobility-limited patients in home and community settings, and supporting payor-grade evidence generation across representative populations.
Malcolm Fogarty
Global Head, Strategic Partnerships
Lindus Health
Healthcare leader with 20+ years scaling health and technology businesses, including at GSK & Haleon. At Lindus Health, he works with pharma and biotech sponsors to design and execute Phase 3b/4 and RWE studies that generate differentiated evidence — accelerating recruitment, reaching representative populations, and delivering payor-grade data on timelines that support launch and lifecycle strategies.
