CVS Caremark’s Clinical Pipeline Services team provides market intelligence on drugs in development. This group of licensed clinical pharmacists and analysts has extensive experience and knowledge in clinical practice, the drug regulatory process and the business implications of emerging therapeutic entities.

Our clinical expertise, industry surveillance and reporting tools can help inform management decisions, contain rising costs and achieve lower overall drug trend. We monitor drugs in development and key breakthrough therapies in order to project trend, cost and utilization.

Gene and genetically modified cellular therapies, for example, have the potential to effectively cure diseases that once were incurable, though they come with an extraordinarily high price tag. Single-dose treatments can cost millions, and the clinical scope is widening. Proactive ongoing surveillance of the gene therapy pipeline can help inform coverage decisions and help plan sponsors prepare for the financial impact.
