AzurBio Pharma is proud to join fellow industry leaders in signing this important call to action addressing the urgent need to improve access to treatments for rare diseases in France.   🌍 With over 3 million patients affected, France has built a robust ecosystem in rare diseases. However, persistent challenges remain in securing sustainable access to orphan drugs.   ✅ We fully support the 2 proposed measures: reinforcing innovation presumption in early access and adopting new criteria for reimbursement evaluations that reflect the unique realities of rare diseases.   Accelerating patient access to innovation in France is our mission, enabling innovative companies to get to them as soon as possible. https://lnkd.in/eQh7JW7B

AzurBio Pharma supports Rare Disease Day 🙏   We stand in solidarity with the 300 million individuals worldwide affected by over 6,000 identified rare diseases.   These conditions, each affecting 1 in 2,000 people, collectively impact more lives than cancer and AIDS combined.   Alarmingly, 70% of rare diseases begin in childhood, and 30% of children with a rare disease will not live to see their fifth birthday.   Despite these challenges, 95% of rare diseases have no approved treatments.   At AzurBio Pharma, our NorthStar is to streamline the process of bringing life-changing treatments to these patients.   We encourage everyone to participate in the #RareDiseaseDay to raise awareness and show support.   Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to those affected by rare diseases.

How we are fast-tracking French market entry by up to 18 months for pharma companies 👇 This chart from IQVIA highlights a critical observation: while the U.S. leads in bringing new medicines to market quickly, France faces longer delays (~18 months) post-approval compared to other regions. What happens after approval? While price negotiations are ongoing, companies must also be prepared to launch at the right time. For France, this means, building an "Exploitant" structure, a complex and time-consuming process that can delay commercialization. This is exactly where 1 of our unique solutions makes a difference - an unmatched offering in today's market: simply acquire your Exploitant structure directly from us! Our innovative approach not only accelerates market entry for companies in France by up to 18 months but also minimizes risks and eliminates the need for early local recruitment. This ensures a faster, safer, and more efficient path to full commercialization. At AzurBio Pharma, we aim to transform pharmaceutical companies' challenges into opportunities. Let's work together to ensure no patient in France waits longer than necessary for the care they deserve. Source: IQVIA

Why setting up in France feels like climbing a mountain? ⛰️   Let’s be honest, setting up operations in France is no walk in the park for biopharmaceutical companies. Complex regulations, endless paperwork, and navigating the pharmaceutical landscape can make it feel more like an obstacle course than an opportunity. Burden examples of setting up your commercial affiliate in FR 👇   📜 Exploitant license: mandatory authorization by ANSM (French Health Authority). 🌍 Unique French local rules: a true "exception française" in regulation ⏳ Time-consuming process: 15–18 months to obtain the Exploitant License 🏢 Office setup: physical premises required from the onset 👥 Early local recruitment: critical roles like Chief Pharmaceutical Officer needed right from the start 🔄 Focus shifted: key teams diverted from other market launches to handle French setup   But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be this way.   At AzurBio Pharma, we turn what feels like a headache into a smooth, streamlined process. Imagine you can now buy a fully ANSM-authorized Exploitant structure from AzurBio Pharma, ready to operate so that you can launch your first product in France without delay!   Why fight the mountain when you can have a guide? Let us help you make France your next success story! 🚀
