Coalition
Novartis has established a fully dedicated internal team to collaborate with top global experts to examine four key questions regarding adverse events associated with Beovu:
- What are the root causes of these events?
- Are there patients at higher risk and can we characterize them?
- What can be done to lower the incidence of these events?
- How should these events be treated?
The coalition is comprised of an international, multidisciplinary panel of Novartis experts who have been seconded to the coalition full-time for the foreseeable future, and external advisors who have joined from leading universities, hospitals, medical centers and clinics around the world.
The coalition consists of three parts: program work steams, a think tank and a crowdsourcing initiative.
- The program work streams consist of fully dedicated internal experts from across Novartis, organized around four key questions related to root causes, patient characterization, treatment and risk mitigation.
- The think tank operates as an additional source of information for the work stream teams, providing access to external expert resources in the evaluation of data and validation of hypotheses.
- A crowdsourcing initiative is designed to incorporate broad perspectives from external scientific and entrepreneurial communities into coalition activities, with an emphasis on injecting fresh thought and ideas.
