Challenge:

A leading European university identified a gene therapy for the treatment of haemoglobinopathies. Alacrita was asked to support the Principal Investigator (PI) in developing a Commercial Development Plan (CDP) to map out the opportunity and seek funding to progress the project to PoC stage. 

Solution:

We first held a briefing meeting with the PI to gather as much technical information about the project as possible, including status, results/data, project plans and IP. We then conducted primary and secondary research with our established industry contacts, and using Alacrita’s in-house knowledge and experience, we developed plans for further experiments to be conducted, project costs and budget required, estimated the potential market size and top-level clinical development strategy for the end product. We held a second meeting with the PI in which we reviewed and revised the draft CDP, which was then submitted to an accelerator panel for funding consideration.
