CINCINNATI, OH, Mar 3, 2015 - (ACN Newswire) - Advanced Care Scripts (ACS), a leading specialty pharmacy and clinical services platform of Omnicare's Specialty Care Group, has been chosen to dispense Bayer's Nexavar(R) (sorafenib) and Stivarga(R) (regorafenib) as part of their limited distribution networks.
Nexavar is an anticancer medicine indicated for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
Stivarga is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have been previously treated with fluropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF therapy, and, if KRAS wild-type, an anti-EGFR therapy. Stivarga also treats patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor who have been previously treated with imatinib mesylate and sunitinib malate.
ACS has proven experience in successfully managing and dispensing specialty medications, making it an ideal partner for pharmaceutical manufacturers. Its expertise in providing access and reimbursement support enables an efficacious process in navigating insurance benefits and financial assistance for patients. ACS services are centrally coordinated to simplify reimbursement and delivery of these complex treatments, and increase the speed to therapy for their patient populations.
"We are extremely pleased to be part of the Bayer specialty pharmacy network," said Dennis Wilson, Vice President and General Manager of ACS. "As we continue to leverage our differentiated expertise and service offering within this growing therapeutic area, we are a compelling pharmacy solution for patients being prescribed Nexavar and Stivarga. We look forward to providing comprehensive pharmacy services for these important oncologic therapies."
