about us

pharmaand GmbH (pharma&), a privately owned global company based in Vienna, Austria, aspires to breathe new life into proven medicines. The Company is dedicated to preserving the availability and fostering the further development of essential medicines worldwide to leave no patient behind.

Accessing effective medicine is a primary goal for both healthcare providers and patients, and it can be devastating when those medicines are no longer available.

Whether a former blockbuster or niche medicine, pharma& acquires the worldwide rights to these needed medicines and remains committed to doing whatever it takes to maintain and develop these medicines for the eligible patients who depend on them.

portfolio of essential medicines

As medicines become more mature, they are often given lower priority within a company portfolio and eventually may be discontinued. Our global strategy focuses on acquiring the worldwide rights to specialty treatments to secure long-term access to essential medicines across various specialized therapy areas.

pharma& has acquired and integrated 10+ medicines over the past five years, and it seeks to continue to adapt and grow its portfolio across a wide range of therapy areas, with an increasing focus on hematological and oncological treatments. pharma&’s portfolio of essential medicines includes:

  • Anafranil® (clomipramine hydrochloride) for psychiatric disorders
  • Farydak® (panobinostat), a hematology treatment
  • Pegasys® (peginterferon alfa-2a), an immunostimulant
  • Rubraca® (rucaparib), an oncology treatment

pharma& also continues undertaking the ongoing Rubraca® (rucaparib) clinical trial program and will embark on a clinical trial program in the future for satraplatin, an unapproved investigational treatment.
