Dear Reader,
we are delighted to announce that Frédéric Ollier, the ex-vice president of Sanofi
multinational company and former CEO of Sanofi Hungary and Chinoin, has
returned to Budapest to start on a new exciting endeavor as CEO of Oncompass
Medicine, which aims to transform the KPS molecular Diagnostic Centre into a
global oncological information center. The purpose of employing the ex-Sanofi
leader is to make the latest innovative developments of Oncompass Medicine
available to all cancer patients around the world.
KPS Diagnostics was formed in 2003 as a world pioneer of molecular diagnostics
for targeted tumor treatments. Over the course of the past few years, the company
has made it possible through its innovations that patients in Central and Eastern
Europe and the Middle East can now benefit from the latest diagnostic methods
revealing important information about the genetic alterations that can cause
cancer.
For two years now, KPS has focused on linking molecular genetic mutations with
targeted therapies for which, they have developed a proprietary medical bioinformatics system called Oncompass, a specific oncological compass that
combines molecular diagnostics and clinical interpretation. Oncompass indicates
how the results of the molecular diagnostics can be associated with a targeted
therapy for a given genetic alteration profile. As a result of that it makes this
information accessible to both the treating physician and the patient to help coming
up with the best cancer treatment strategy. It even provides a practical support for
the patient to access therapy. This is a unique way the Oncompass service
provides in the world.
Frédéric Ollier is known in Hungary as the CEO of Sanofi-Aventis Zrt and Chinoin
Zrt., an extremely successful pharmaceutical leader who turned the company into
huge increase during his leadership. In 2007, Mr. Ollier was awarded for his
dedicated work done for the Hungarian economy with a prestigious State Award.
The new positioning of the company corresponds to the arrival of Mr. Ollier, who
not only has company strategy experience but also a great deal of pharmaceutical
knowledge. In order to bring this unique oncological compass system to all the
patients and doctors around the globe, he has initiated the creation of a company
group called Oncompass Medicine (www.oncompassmedicine.com). With its
research and development center located in Budapest, Oncompass Medicine was
founded with international capital and also has several subsidiaries in other
countries like Switzerland or Germany. The KPS molecular diagnostic laboratory,
which still performs the local and regional molecular diagnostic testing, belongs to
the Oncompass Medicine group of companies.

On co mp a ss Me d i ci n e :
“As an oncologist, I have to do my best through continuous research and
development for patients to get access to the appropriate targeted therapies. In the
last 10 years, the biggest task to this was the identification of gene-mutations:
Through molecular diagnostics we have indicated which gene mutation is
responsible for the tumor. Now our biggest task is to combine the gene mutations
and other genetic alterations with the right therapy among those 260 components
that are either registered or are in clinical development stage. The biggest
challenge in the upcoming years is to achieve that doctors and patients can get
access to all the information available on possible therapies around the world and
thereby to be able to decide on the most optimal therapeutic strategy. With Dr.
Richárd Schwab, my co-founder partner, we have always said that we, the doctors,
have to stay with research and treatment. But to do so, we need a leader, who can
professionally build a global company, through which the result of our job can be
delivered to all patients - and we are confident that Frédéric Ollier is the right
person to do this.”
Fré d é ri c Ol l i e r j o i n e d th e KPS Mo l e cu l a r D i a g n o sti c C e n te r w i th mu ch
p l e a su re :
“…The mission of the founders of KPS, István Peták and Richárd Schwab –to
provide access for all the patients to get to the best available therapy- is a huge, but
very attractive challenge for me; I will do my best to make this vision come true.”
Frédéric Ollier thinks that it is a huge problem that only a small fraction of the global
patient population can have access to the expensive drugs and therapies; his
mission is to reduce the costs of information flow so that patients can get access to
the latest targeted medicines much easier. The new CEO of Oncompass Medicine
regards information transparency to be very important as well, along with the
freedom of information, in order to find the right drug for the patient and not the right
patient to the drug. To support this vision, the Oncompass system offers the best
available solution today.
Sincerely,
TherapySelect Team
