Our Commitment to Patients
Cancer has no borders. Neither do we.
At BeOne Medicines, formerly known as BeiGene, “patients first” is more than a core value—it’s our guiding principle. Every day, we strive to create high-quality, innovative medicines faster for patients. It’s not enough for innovative drugs to simply exist. We want to make sure patients can access them. We work with cancer communities around the globe to learn from patients, their families and their care partners to help improve their lives by identifying and addressing their unmet needs.
In the UK & Ireland this means we can:
- Understand the most important clinical needs for patients living in the UK and Ireland.
- Have discussions with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) and National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics (NCPE) that are informed by an understanding of patient needs and experiences. NICE, SMC and NCPE consider the clinical and economic impact of medicines, helping to provide patient access to the best treatments and care.
- Ensure our clinical trials teams design trials that best serve patients.
- Create materials that clearly explain clinical trials and help patients manage their disease.
- Collaborate on patient-focused initiatives such as patient support helplines.

Patient-Focused Drug Development & Clinical Trials
We believe in actively involving patients and care partners in our research and development process. This helps us understand the real-life needs and challenges that people living with cancer face. By gaining perspectives from patients and their care partners, we can design clinical trials to reflect their needs and with outcomes that matter to them.
We also strive to include diverse populations in our research endeavours, with representation for age, ethnicities, genders, abilities and geographies, wherever possible. Medications don’t always work the same for everyone, so studying outcomes in diverse patient groups can help us develop drugs that meet the needs of more patients.
