File Description [top]

IMS New Product Focus offers comprehensive worldwide tracking of historical phramaceutical product launches internationally since 1982, recording the very first launch of a product in a particular country and identifying the indication and price (when available) at the time of the initial launch.

File 446 is publicly available; File 976 is available only to pharmaceutical industry users, and includes additional fields with price data for each drug.

Subject Coverage [top]

IMS New Product Focus covers 50 major world markets. Each record provides the following information for each product:

composition (including form and dose)
ingredient and local trade name
therapeutic class code and indications (when available)
manufacturing company
launch country and date, and subsequent launches
presentation (pack information)
launch price data (where available)

Price information in File 976 includes hospital and retail price, if available. Biotechnology products are also identified, as well as first world launches of new chemical entities. Since the information is derived from a number of sources, including a number of non-English speaking countries, certain indications may be provided in the local language.

Sources [top]

The file is collated from information gathered by the IMS Health worldwide network of offices. This database provides the equivalent of the electronic publication New Product Launch Letter, which is produced monthly by IMS Health. Product Monographs provide full details of subsequent pack launches and product line extensions. Therapeutic Class codes used in the database are adapted from the EPHMRA (European Pharmaceutical Market Research Association) Classification System. Therapeutic Class codes and descriptions, as well as Form codes and descriptions, can be obtained from IMS Publications at no cost.
