Has a brand in clinical trials for their drug (X) to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and were preparing for the phase III trials. The research enabled the clients to prepare a strategy for the clinical trials and set the groundwork for a marketing plan.
Online quantitative interviews (CAWI) lasting 45 mins were conducted with 125 prescribing physicians in each of US, UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

The main research instrument was a trade off exercise using a discrete choice model exercise.
As well as a final report covering all of the global and country specific findings, with respect to the physicians reactions to Product X, the clients were also delivered an Excel based simulator program which allowed them to map out certain "what if" scenarios based on the attributes that were used and evaluated during the discrete choice exercise.
