“We are thrilled to partner with BeiGene to help people living with CLL in low- and middle-income countries have access to BRUKINSA,” said Pat Garcia-Gonzalez, CEO of Max. “This collaboration marks the first time patients with CLL will have access to treatment through Max. We commend BeiGene for joining our Humanitarian Partnership for Access to Cancer Treatments (Humanitarian PACT) the same year BRUKINSA received its U.S. approval in CLL, demonstrating a powerful commitment to health equity for patients regardless of where they live.”

The Humanitarian PACT is a collaboration among professional, nonprofit, and commercial organizations that share the commitment of Max to increase global access to treatment, care, and support for people living with cancer. Members of the Humanitarian PACT agree to invest resources and/or their unique organizational knowledge and capabilities to support the expansion of Max’s proven treatment access model.

“When I started BeiGene, my goal was to ensure more patients have access to critical medicines regardless of geography or socioeconomic status,” said John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of BeiGene. “This collaboration with Max is a critical step in achieving this objective and emphasizes the necessity of high-impact partnerships to remove some of the obstacles that prevent patients’ access to treatment.”

During the second half of 2023, Max will partner with leading physicians in target low- and middle-income countries to set up a robust access pathway for patients for whom they prescribe BRUKINSA. CLL is the most common leukemia in adults, accounting for about one third of new cases of leukemia worldwide¹. Globally, there are around 40,000 deaths due to CLL per year².
