KEY FACTS ABOUT OUR THERAPEUTIC AREAS

ONCOLOGY

• Ipsen is one of the world’s top 20 biopharmaceutical companies in terms of oncology sales
• In 2017, our oncology division contributed 60% share of our global sales
• Our portfolio includes medicines for medullary thyroid cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, bladder cancer, carcinoid syndrome and prostrate cancer
• Our goal is to add new oncology assets to our portfolio and we are actively looking at a number of partnerships and acquisitions.

 

NEUROSCIENCE

• Our portfolio includes medicines for cervical dystonia, adult spasticity, blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, hyperhidrosis and pediatric lower limb spasticity
• We are just one of a handful of companies specializing in botulinum toxin, which causes a reduction in abnormal muscle contraction, allowing the muscle to become less stiff
• Through our 9 Ixcellence Network we promote global knowledge sharing of spasticity and dystonia and are proud that since its launch in 2012, we have trained over 700 physicians.

 

RARE DISEASES

• A disease is defined as ‘rare’ when it effects less than 2,000 people – an estimated 350million + patients are suffering from one of over 7,000 rare diseases globally
• Yet, some 95% of rare diseases do not have a single FDA-approved drug treatment
• Operating in the area of rare diseases requires a distinct operating model and specific capabilities, which we are proud to demonstrate at Ipsen
• Our current portfolio includes medicines that treat acromegaly (a rare disease caused by excessive growth hormone), growth failure in children and a drug for the treatment of central precocious puberty.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Ipsen’s commitment to R&D is our bold promise to launch at least one new drug or meaningful new indication every year. Our end goal is to ensure that we bring innovative medicines to market to address unmet patient needs as quickly as possible.

We are proud of our valuable pipeline, encompassing both the lifecycle management of our established products and the development of new molecules including small molecules, neurotoxins, peptides and radiopharmaceuticals.

We will secure our future by building a pipeline of innovative medicines, establishing our leadership position in key therapeutic areas, ensuring sustainable lifecycle management and, most importantly, creating a company of inspiring people throughout our R&D organization.

We are focused on expanding our external innovation capabilities while continuing to focus on select in-house research. We now have innovation hubs in Paris-Saclay in France, Oxford in the United Kingdom, Cambridge in the United States and in Asia. Alongside these internationally reputed scientific hubs, we also have a further five R&D sites throughout the world and sustain contact with other leading academic research, medical and technology centres.
