Maxime Annereau

Hospital pharmacist, Gustave Roussy cancer centre

Maxime Annereau is a hospital pharmacist, a hospital practitioner at Gustave Roussy cancer centre, and hold a PhD. In addition to his professional commitments, he has cultivated an interest in the personalisation of cancer treatment. In this regard, he has collaborated with the INSERM 1279 team to develop a prognostic score for colon cancer. Concurrently, he has sought to address the paucity of paediatric and adult formulations. In pursuit of this objective, he collaborated with paediatric teams to develop an oral formulation of temozolomide, initially at the hospital and subsequently adopted by the pharmaceutical industry. This work facilitated the establishment of a temporary use programme for dordaviprone in Europe, which was proposed by the Gustave Roussy pharmacy department in conjunction with the French Medicines Agency. The programme was initiated in 2021 and has since treated more than 350 patients. This success has led to the renewal of the programme, making Gustave Roussy the only institution to have a bromodomain inhibitor for the treatment of NUT carcinomas. In order to maintain the delivery of the most advanced treatments from the hospital, he is a fonding member for pharma3DPI, a scientific society to promote utilization of 3D printing technology for patient care. Consequently, a translational platform rooted in pharmaceutical science is currently being developed to address unmet needs within the pharmaceutical industry and facilitate the execution of clinical trials, in addition to the implementation of rapid real-life treatment approaches stemming from the conceptual frameworks of the Gustave Roussy research teams
