Partnership aims to reduce financial barriers to care and improve medication adherence for lung cancer patients using PEMFEXY^® as part of course of treatment

TailorMed, a leading technology company offering the nation’s largest network of patients, providers, pharmacies, life science companies, and other partners dedicated to improving healthcare affordability, today announced Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will be implementing TailorMed’s Express Enroll solution. This partnership will introduce new efficiencies in seeking to secure financial assistance for patients prescribed Eagle’s Pemfexy to manage and treat lung cancer. With Express Enroll, providers and pharmacies within the TailorMed network can now complete Pemfexy Copay Assistance Program enrollments through a fully digital process, without leaving the TailorMed platform.

Nearly half of cancer patients with high out-of-pocket costs have abandoned or delayed filling a prescription. Cost-related prescription abandonment and nonadherence lead to poor patient experiences and outcomes. TailorMed’s network-driven, technology-powered approach offers a comprehensive solution by uniting all impacted parties with the same goal: helping ensure that every patient, across all medical conditions, can afford care. TailorMed’s solutions have now been implemented across more than 700 hospitals, 1,200-plus clinics, and over 600 pharmacies.

Without the use of technology, the process of identifying and enrolling patients in financial assistance is typically manual, cumbersome, and reactive, resulting in missed opportunities to maximize available resources. The TailorMed platform enables users—who include financial navigators, medication assistance coordinators, pharmacy technicians, and other healthcare professionals—to proactively match patients with the right resources at the right time. Its Express Enroll solution uses automatic data mapping, real-time API connections, and embedded e-signature workflows to facilitate seamless, in-platform enrollment in assistance offered by pharmaceutical companies. These capabilities will empower TailorMed users to complete Pemfexy Copay Assistance Program enrollments quickly and efficiently, supporting stronger patient experiences and medication adherence.

“This partnership with TailorMed underscores our commitment to supporting patient access to Pemfexy,” said William Kim, VP of Market Access, Oncology at Eagle Pharmaceuticals. “A technology-driven enrollment approach will make enrollment in the Pemfexy Copay Assistance Program more efficient, which benefits patients and healthcare provider offices.”

“The impact of healthcare affordability is far-reaching and requires a network approach, uniting stakeholders across the entire ecosystem,” said Srulik Dvorsky, Co-founder and CEO of TailorMed. “Trailblazers in the life sciences industry stand to strengthen this network considerably by providing direct access to financial assistance for lifesaving medications. We’re proud to partner with Eagle Pharmaceuticals to help further patient enrollment and improve access to Pemfexy.”
