Fair Medicine
It is our ambition to have an effective and affordable drug for pancreatic cancer available by 2030, allowing patients to stay alive longer and feel less sick. By funding multidisciplinary scientific research into innovative treatment methods of pancreatic cancer, Support Casper wants to have an effective medicine available as soon as possible. In addition, the foundation considers it important to make the medicine affordable and widely accessible. The Fair Medicine principle plays a major role in this and is the starting point of Support Casper.
The price of a medicine can rise sharply after it reaches the market, particularly when demand is high or competition is limited. Treatment may then become unaffordable or may not be prescribed to people who need it. We follow Fair Medicine principles to help ensure that new treatments remain accessible and reasonably priced. Progress must not replace an untreatable disease with an unaffordable medicine.
