Collaborative Research

A Collaborative Research Project (CRP) is a collaboration between Apellis and an investigator on a research proposal. Apellis and the investigator contribute to the design and the interpretation of the results. Apellis may support the research beyond funding, commercial product, pure drug substance, or Apellis-owned data.

Clinical research is a research study in which one or more human subjects are assigned to one or more interventions to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health related, biomedical, or behavioral outcomes. This research category includes translational research, which involves human subjects and aims to characterize disease processes, generate novel biological hypothesis, or identifies biomarkers of response/resistance to a drug.

Non clinical research refers to in-vitro, ex-vivo, animal, or human derived bio specimens or in-vivo animal model studies per applicable regulatory guidelines. This research category includes diagnostic research, which refers to diagnosis of disease or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health.

Apellis may consider providing the following support for CRPs:

Drug: Commercial product or pure drug substance.

  • Study funding: Direct costs, i.e., procedural and personnel, as well as indirect costs (e.g., overhead), publications, IRB review, CRO/vendor fees, etc. Apellis may fund reasonable and customary services rendered that are needed to achieve the research objectives and all costs are subject to fair market value assessment. Apellis does not support requests for capital equipment.
  • Data and sample access: Access to Apellis datasets, e.g., banked blood/plasma samples, or images.
  • Medical writing: Assistance with writing manuscripts, posters, etc.
  • Data management: Assistance with data storage, review, handling, and cleaning.
  • Statistical analysis: Assistance with development of the sample size justification calculation and/or the statistical analysis plan.
