IN SUMMARY: Online health seekers are using the Internet differently since the pandemic. Treatment options are researched more, and people are using, but not relying, on social media to gather information on what’s best for THEM.

My research points were Google, Twitter, and various websites that provide metrics on a variety of topics.

GOOD MORNING: eMarketer is promoting a report on pharma’s projected digital ad spending in the coming year, and from my conversations with pharma insiders, it’s wrong. There will be an investment in new digital platforms but display and search spending, I believe, are going to decline. There is no doubt that more people are turning to the Internet to help sort through the conflicting health information but that does not translate into more online ads.

What will the future hold for clinical research? A recent draft from the FDA provides valuable insight. In "Optimizing the Dosage of Human Prescription Drugs and Biological Products for the Treatment of Oncologic Diseases," the FDA notes that "targeted therapies demonstrate different dose-response relationships compared to cytotoxic chemotherapy, such that doses below the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) may have similar efficacy to the MTD but with fewer toxicities.
