Recent Projects
JG Zebra has taken a leading role in setting up and running the EURORDIS award-winning Project HERCULES, an ongoing collaboration led by patient organisation Duchenne UK. We provide project management and Josie Godfrey acts as Strategic Director. Bringing together patients and carers, clinicians, industry, academia, HTA bodies and other stakeholders, the project has broken new ground in developing tools to promote access to treatments in rare diseases. Project HERCULES has delivered a gold standard economic model for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and the tools and data required to populate the model.

JG Zebra supported the establishment of a Gene and Cell Therapy Working Group for the European Confederation of Pharmaceutical Entrepreneurs (EUCOPE). Bringing together over 12 companies and identifying shared priorities, we developed an agreed position statement and work programme for the group, focussing on shared understanding, challenges and potential solutions to access and the commercialisation of novel therapies, covering topics such as Health Technology Assessment, pricing and reimbursement, cross-border healthcare and hospital exemption.
JG Zebra recently supported a rare disease biotech company to develop a market access strategy for the UK. Working with the client to understand their needs, we identified skills and data gaps in the planned approach to market access, developed a strategic evidence plan and prepared for negotiations with NHS England and for scoping and assessment by NICE.
