BeiGene, Ontada Enter Strategic Oncology Alliance

BeiGene Co.,Ltd., a global biotechnology company developing and commercializing innovative and affordable oncology medicines to improve treatment access, entered a strategic agreement with Ontada, a McKesson business with provider technology and real-world research, education, and evidence in oncology, to develop real-world evidence (RWE) data, tools, and insights to help increase access to affordable, cutting-edge therapies.
 
The partnership will be led by Ontada and focus on accelerating the development and implementation of RWE to improve community education on the financial impact and value of oncolytics as well as improve patient access to oncology medicines.
 
The companies will work to optimize the use of RWE to communicate value across key stakeholders including patients, providers, and payers; develop timely education on emerging science and therapeutic differentiation; and collaborate to advance use of RWE in healthcare and regulatory decision making to increase timely and affordable patient access to oncology therapies.
 
“BeiGene is excited to work with Ontada to advance our shared vision of improving patient access, affordability, and value for community oncology stakeholders and key partners working at the intersection of clinical practice and real-world evidence,” said Josh Neiman, Chief Commercial Officer, North America and Europe, at BeiGene. “Working together, BeiGene and Ontada will generate novel oncology insights through real-world data, tools, and technologies that will facilitate the acceleration of precise decision-making in support of community oncology practices whose ultimate mission is to improve patient outcomes.”
 
“As a leader in real-world research, Ontada is uniquely positioned to support complex research that uncovers deeper patient insights and perspectives that advance cancer care,” said Susan Shiff, Ph.D., president of Ontada. “We are excited to announce this unique partnership with BeiGene and look forward to developing a stronger understanding of how to better treat oncology patients through the use of real-world data and evidence.”
