Medison Pharma, a global pharmaceutical company dedicated to enhancing patient access to cutting-edge therapies in international markets, has announced an expansion of its collaboration with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals), a frontrunner in RNAi therapeutics. This expanded partnership now covers Central and Eastern Europe and Israel, along with select markets in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as other international territories.
“We are delighted to extend yet again our existing
partnership with Medison, which will enable us to enhance our presence and
bring the benefits of Alnylam's innovative RNAi therapeutics to patients in
additional APAC and LATAM markets. Medison is at the forefront of the global
trend of consolidating international markets under one alliance. Together,
we'll provide faster access to more patients around the world,” stated Norton
Oliveira, Senior Vice-President and Head of Partner and Emerging Markets at Alnylam.
Medison, a pioneer in the multi-regional partnership space,
has developed a distinctive and cohesive commercialization platform aimed at
international markets, with a focus on treating rare and severe diseases. As
the only partner committed exclusively to the most innovative therapies,
Medison sets itself apart in the industry. The collaboration between Alnylam
and Medison began in 2018 and has since broadened to encompass more regions and
markets. This expansion ensures that Alnylam's commercial therapies—including
ONPATTRO® (patisiran), AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran), GIVLAARI® (givosiran), and
OXLUMO® (lumasiran)—are accessible to patients across various international
markets.
Meir Jakobsohn, Founder and Executive Chairman of Medison,
said "The new category of the multi-regional partnerships that we have
been creating in the past few years continues to get traction with the most
innovative biotech companies. We are proud of our longstanding partnership with
Alnylam and will continue to work together to bridge geographical gaps,
ensuring that Alnylam's life-saving therapies reach patients in need."
"Our unified commercial platform enables biotech
companies to transform numerous complex and fragmented markets and regions into
a unified territory, and we are proudly leading the trend and the
category," remarked Gil Gurfinkel, CEO of Medison.
He further added, “Our expanding partnership with Alnylam
shows just how our one-of-a-kind unified commercial platform, with single
alliance management across multiple markets and regions, is of great value to
leading biotech companies. This partnership will make Alnylam's therapies
available in additional international markets, offering newfound hope for
patients suffering from rare diseases.”
