First Doses of BRUKINSA provided to Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Under Collaboration of The Max Foundation, BeiGene, and the BeiGene Foundation - Seite 2

“For many years, the treatment of blood cancer, particularly CLL, has posed and continues to pose a significant challenge in Armenia. New medicines and treatments have simply not been accessible to those in need,” said Karen Meliksetyan, M.D., Head of Bone Marrow Transplant Department, Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center, Yerevan, Armenia. “The donation of BRUKINSA presents a tremendous opportunity for our patients to access treatment and will have a positive impact on many patients.”

CLL is the most common leukemia in adults, accounting for about one third of new cases of leukemia worldwideⁱ. BeiGene and Max aim to provide access to CLL treatment to patients in need in 29 low- and middle-income countries. In each country, verified physicians within Max’s network will submit a request for treatment to Max for patients who are under their care and are candidates for BRUKINSA. Upon patient identity verification and CLL diagnosis confirmation, Max will deliver the treatment directly to the health institution providing care to the patient through well-established supply chains.
