Cancer drug shortages threaten lives as efforts ...

Drug shortages continue to put patients at risk.

As highlighted by The National Desk’s Spotlight on America, children with cancer and their families continue to face uncertainty when critical medicines like ifosfamide are in short supply.

For Abby Bray, this was personal. Patient One was Abby. Her experience navigating drug shortages during cancer treatment became the catalyst for Laura Bray’s advocacy and the founding of Angels for Change.

We remain committed to advancing solutions that strengthen the pharmaceutical supply chain and ensure every patient has access to the medicines they need.

Women across the country are struggling to access estrogen patches, with some traveling long distances, rationing medication, or searching for alternatives to maintain access to their treatment.

The New York Post recently examined the shortage and the challenges patients are facing. Laura Bray, Founder of Angels for Change, spoke with the publication about why the shortage was predictable following the FDA’s removal of the black box warning for estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy.

Angels for Change and Medivant Healthcare ...

Announcing: A new milestone to strengthen U.S. readiness for critical medicines.

Today, Angels for Change and Medivant Healthcare announced the completion of a key Project PROTECT milestone, establishing ready-to-activate U.S. manufacturing capacity for 10% Calcium Chloride Injection, an essential medicine used in emergency and critical care.

Through the partnership, Medivant has completed development of Calcium Chloride Injection and advanced the medicine into Project PROTECT’s readiness phase, creating domestic manufacturing capacity that can be activated when supply disruptions threaten patient access.

“Project PROTECT is about staying ahead of shortages before they reach patients,” said Laura Bray, Chief Change Maker at Angels for Change. “By partnering with Medivant Healthcare to prepare domestic capacity for Calcium Chloride Injection, we are demonstrating what proactive shortage preparedness can look like and building the ability to respond before a supply disruption becomes a patient crisis.”

Since launching in 2022, Project PROTECT has strengthened U.S. readiness for 14 essential medicines, seven of which have subsequently experienced shortages, with more than 850,000 patient treatments accessed during shortages.

Patient One, Now a Patient Advocate: Abby Bray ...

For the first time since 2019, Abby Bray is sharing her cancer journey in her own words.

For years, Abby kept her story private. Now, five years cancer-free, she is choosing to share her experience and use her voice to advocate for other patients facing drug shortages.

Abby was Patient One for Angels for Change.

Today, she is helping carry that mission forward as a member of the Angels for Change Patient Advocacy Board, which brings patients, caregivers, and lived experiences directly into our advocacy work.

Pharmacists can make shortage drugs, but at what cost?

Pharmacists increasingly are being asked to make drugs in bulk for hospitals that are in short supply, and they’re even beginning to make chemotherapies. But some in the industry worry about the unintended consequences of over reliance.

The hospital ran out of her child's cancer drug. Now she's fighting to end shortages

90% of the majority of medications Americans take are generics. These generics should never be in shortage, especially when patients' lives are at stake. At Angels for Change, we know there is a path forward. It is not our mission to simply help the crisis, but instill a permanent systemic change to end drug shortages.
