Caligor Rx, a global leader in pharmaceutical sourcing and supply for clinical trials and Global Access Programs, announced late last month that it has partnered with Global Genes™, a leading rare disease patient advocacy organization.
“Global Access Programs provide controlled, compliant and ethical access to unlicensed medicines for patients with rare diseases, while giving pharmaceutical companies real-world data that can support further clinical development and, ultimately, commercialization.”
Caligor Rx will participate as a member of Global Genes’ 2015 RARE Corporate Alliance™. The mission of the Alliance is to combine the resources of industry and patient communities to improve health and expedite access to effective therapies for patients with rare diseases.
“Caligor Rx is proud to become a Corporate Alliance member of Global Genes and participate in the organization’s mission to help provide critical connections and resources to the estimated 350 million people affected by rare diseases worldwide,” said Tammy Bishop, the Company’s managing director. “Global Genes is dedicated to addressing the unmet medical needs of rare disease patients, and our employees embrace the opportunity to share in that commitment.”
Through its Global Access Programs (GAP), Caligor Rx is helping to provide access to investigational medicines for patients with serious or life-threatening diseases and conditions in situations where no comparable treatment option exists in the patient’s own country.
“Of the nearly 7,000 identified rare diseases, fewer than 400 have FDA-approved drug treatments, so it’s critically important to support the Global Genes mission to help physicians, patients, care givers and advocates become activists in finding innovative treatment options for these rare conditions,” Bishop said. “Global Access Programs provide controlled, compliant and ethical access to unlicensed medicines for patients with rare diseases, while giving pharmaceutical companies real-world data that can support further clinical development and, ultimately, commercialization.”
