Managed Care and Health System Collaboration To Deliver Value and Equitable Access to Gene and Cell Therapy for Rare Diseases

Pricing: Free for Members and Non-Members

This activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from Pfizer Inc. 

Course Description

Gene and gene-modified cell therapy innovations are evolving, and novel treatment approaches for genetically inherited diseases are emerging to meet medical needs for rare diseases. Approximately 7,000 identified rare diseases exist, yet only a few hundred treatments are approved. Gene and cell therapy is particularly relevant to patients with a rare disease, as more than 80 percent of rare diseases have a known single-gene cause.

Faculty for this session will provide an overview of gene and cell therapy innovation for rare diseases, details of the new and pipeline clinical indications, and host a discussion between managed care and health systems on collaborating strategies to bridge access and utilization of these therapies. 

Target Audience

Pharmacists who practice in managed care settings.
