Roadmap2Rare provides support for the following lysosomal storage disorders: Pompe, Fabry, and Gaucher diseases, Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD), and Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS-I). Services are provided in collaboration with Revvity Omics.
Roadmap2Rare and other initiatives:
Family History
As rare diseases often have a genetic component, family history can be important. Sanofi sponsors Family Tree Testing (i.e., familial variant sequencing) after clinician identification of a proband patient. This complimentary genetic testing is available to Canadian clinicians with eligible patients.
For Fabry disease specifically, Sanofi also sponsors the Fabry Find Tool. This tool has been created to help clinicians build family trees after the identification of a Fabry proband patient.
Screening
Sanofi Canada supports several high-risk screening projects and digital/AI initiatives in Canada that support clinicians in identifying patients who may be at increased risk of having a rare disease.
Diagnosis
In collaboration with Revvity Omics, Sanofi Canada has launched the Roadmap2Rare Diagnostic Program, a sponsored testing program for several rare diseases, including Pompe, Fabry, and Gaucher diseases, ASMD, and MPS-I. This diagnostic testing program includes complimentary enzymatic activity, biomarker, and genetic testing. Metabolic genotyping for Gaucher disease type 1 (when applicable to certain treatment considerations) is available.
Treatment and Monitoring
After a rare disease diagnosis, clinicians may wish to monitor disease progression. Sanofi provides access to complimentary biomarker monitoring for patients with Pompe, Fabry, or Gaucher diseases, regardless of treatment status, through the Rare Disease Specialty Testing Program (RDSTP).
The RDSTP also covers immunogenicity testing of patients with MPS-I, Pompe, Fabry, and Gaucher diseases who are receiving Sanofi treatment. This immunogenicity testing includes complimentary analysis of anti-drug antibody levels and characterization of adverse event-related hypersensitivity reactions.
Patient Support
The Rare Together Patient Support Program offered by Sanofi Canada provides support for patients with lysosomal storage disorders receiving Sanofi therapy, and support for treating clinicians.
Rare Together is tailored to each patient and aims to help address barriers and support access to treatment and services. Rare Together supports reimbursement navigation, patient education, and in-clinic or in-home drug administration for infusion therapies.

Navigating rare disease – sponsored tools and services for screening, diagnosis, monitoring, and patient support.
These tools and services include rare disease screening and diagnostic testing programs for several rare diseases, a Rare Disease Specialty Testing Program to monitor disease progression and response to treatment, and a Patient Support Program for clinicians treating rare disease patients on Sanofi therapy.
