Will other companies find it necessary to follow GSK s lead, even going steps further to eliminate other types of KOL collaborations? In an age defined by instant access to data, heightened scrutiny and transparency, and no margin for error in getting products to market, companies have higher standards than ever before for finding and maintaining relationships with the right medical experts.
