Vicarius Pharma provides U.S.-based bio-pharmaceutical companies with a new process to commercialize their first product across Europe retaining control of their assets without having to out-license to a larger pharmaceutical partner or build their own commercial organization overseas.
The company acts as the go-to-market organization for Europe, building a customer-facing organization and commercializing the asset in the client’s name, while absorbing all launch costs.
In a partnership with Vicarius, companies retain strategic control over R&D, plus the flexibility to recover at any time the asset and dedicated organization built by Vicarius.
