Qualitative and quantitative insights were obtained by interviewing supply-side and demand-side stakeholders during the primary research process. The supply-side sources comprised CEOs, VPs of Research & Development, chief medical officers, regulatory affairs heads, and commercial directors from pharmaceutical manufacturers (Biogen, Roche, Novartis, Sanofi, Amgen, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma), medical device manufacturers (ventilators, feeding tubes, communication aids), and emerging gene therapy developers. Demand-side sources included fellowship-trained neurologists who specialized in motor neuron diseases, ALS clinical care directors, multidisciplinary clinic coordinators, palliative care specialists, procurement leads from academic medical centers and tertiary care hospitals, and homecare service coordinators who managed ventilator and nutritional support. Market segmentation was validated across disease stages (early, middle, late), clinical pipeline timelines for investigational gene therapies were confirmed, and insights on treatment adoption patterns, reimbursement dynamics for orphan drugs, and patient transition flows between hospital and homecare settings were gathered, using primary research.
