Klick Health Buy Boosts Analytics and Insights Offer

In New York State, life sciences commercialization agency Klick Health has acquired Peregrine Market Access, another specialist in the sector. The buy should strengthen Klick Health's access strategy, value communications and payer insights offerings.

Klick Health was established in 1997 and has offices in the US, Toronto, London, São Paulo and Singapore - sister companies include Klick Applied Sciences, Klick Consulting and Sensei Labs. Peregrine - whose name derives from founder John Guarino's US Army paratrooper unit, the 'Falcon brigade' - offers consulting, communications and commercialization for the life sciences industry, focused on helping clients to demonstrate the value of their FDA-approved treatments and therapies to the organizations that pay for them (health insurance providers and the government).

Klick Health says the buy strengthens its position and ongoing investment in the increasingly important value, access and reimbursement segments within life sciences commercialization. Klick Health co-founder and Chairman Leerom Segal states: 'Peregrine is a remarkable business with a sterling reputation and deep, trusted client relationships, making them the perfect accelerant to our growing market access business'.

Guarino (pictured) says the combined firms 'will immediately be able to bring new innovations to clients and redefine what's possible in market access strategy, analytics and communications'. Klick's Chief Medical Officer Holly Henry comments: 'Together, we are uniting the best medical and market access teams in North America, and bringing the number of PhD/advanced degree professionals within our medical and access functions alone to around 250 in the Klick Mediverse'.
