Did you know that pediatric cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children?
Did you know that academic research is not backed by the pharmaceutical industry because it is considered an unattractive market?
Every year 400,000 children are diagnosed with pediatric cancer and 90,000 will lose their battle worldwide. Despite these figures, childhood cancer is considered an orphan disease.The market is too small to capture the attention of major pharmaceutical companies and venture capital funds. Consequently, only seven drugs are initially designed and approved for treating pediatric cancer, a stark contrast to the more than 200 available for adults.. This challenging scenario leaves numerous children without adequate treatment options, confronting an uncertain and difficult future.
What if we told you that we could give hope to those children and adolescents who have already exhausted all their treatment options?
The good news is that Oncoheroes Biosciences, a biotech company exclusively dedicated to developing new therapies for childhood cancer, is now ready to start an international clinical trial to test the efficacy of Volasertib. Volasertib is a drug that has the therapeutic potential to treat five types of pediatric cancers (Ewing's Sarcoma, medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and diffuse midline glioma (DIMG), including diffuse intrinsic stem glioma (DIPG)). This trial is designed for those children and adolescents who have already exhausted all their treatment options. Funding is the only obstacle to starting it.
Fundacion Olivares has taken a step forward by joining Oncoheroes.
We invite you now to be part of this mission. Your contribution can make a difference for those brave children who have already exhausted all their treatment options. Every donation counts and brings us one step closer to the approval of Volasertib.
Today we are asking you to join us in this urgent cause. Click on the link to learn more about the project and Oncoheroes. Fundación Olivares cannot do it alone, we need your help to give hope to these children and their families!
Every day 250 children die from cancer, your help matters.
Thank you for being part of this fight against childhood cancer!
Andrés Olivares creó la Fundación Olivares después de perder a su hijo de nueve años por una leucemia. La Fundación, que se dedica a apoyar a los niños y niñas enfermos de cáncer así como a sus familias, tiene un fuerte compromiso con Oncoheroes, la única empresa exclusivamente dedicada al desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos para oncología pediátrica.
