Paying for Cures Toolkit updated with new pipeline modeling and financing strategies

Today FoCUS released an updated and expanded version of its Paying for Cures Toolkit, which is designed to help patient groups, payers, policymakers, and drug developers make financial plans for promising but potentially costly new cell and gene therapies.

The Toolkit’s collection of research provides thorough analysis of the new therapies’ potential financial impact, its Precision Financing Solutions describe innovative financing approaches, and its interactive tools enable stakeholders to calculate customized scenarios to aid decision-making.
