Signify Health's Biopharmaceutical Clinical and Caregiver Support Services Remove Barriers to Treatment Associated with Complex Drug Therapies

DALLAS, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Signify Health, a leading healthcare platform leveraging advanced analytics, technology and nationwide healthcare networks to create and power value-based programs, is offering a suite of Clinical Support Services and Caregiver Support Services to reduce clinical and social barriers to therapy initiation and adherence. The services leverage Signify Health's national network of mobile clinicians and community-based social care services to help biopharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations facilitate treatment for FDA-approved therapies as well as those in Phase III clinical development.

These services are being made available at a time when the specialty drug market is growing rapidly. The IQVIA Center for Human Data Science predicts that specialty medicines will represent up to 40% of global medicine spending by 2024. The FDA anticipates that by 2025 it will review and approve 10 to 20 complex cell and gene therapies every year.

"As more advanced biotherapeutics such as CAR T cell therapies enter the market, complex treatment initiation and maintenance requirements will become more of the norm and patients, particularly those with both complex clinical comorbidities and social issues, will need more support," said Marc Rothman, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Signify Health. "From our work conducting pre-therapy clinical screenings and observational monitoring for treatments that address debilitating conditions like multiple sclerosis, we have seen first-hand that having the option to receive these services in the home can make it possible for people to start therapy sooner and stay on that therapy as long as necessary – with minimal disruption to daily living."

Signify Health delivers its Clinical Support Services for in-line therapies through its national mobile network of nearly 9,000 credentialed providers who are deployable to all 50 states. These clinicians conduct pre-initiation baseline assessments and screenings, conduct first-dose observations, monitor for adverse events and report results in real-time.

Signify Health also leverages its deep domain expertise in addressing social determinants of health and its database of community-based organizations and resources to support the unique needs of caregivers. After conducting comprehensive assessments of social needs, Signify's social care coordinators connect caregivers to local community resources through its proprietary technology platform. This service is of particular value for those participating in clinical trials that require travel and stays at study sites and for those taking FDA-approved facility-based therapies.
