Develops prescription medicines across Oncology, Rare Diseases, and BioPharmaceuticals, including Cardiovascular, Renal & Metabolism and Respiratory & Immunology. Sold in more than 125 countries, the portfolio is oncology-led and shaped by clinical evidence, regulatory approval, patent exclusivity, supply execution, and reimbursement.

Develops and commercializes prescription medicines across Oncology, Rare Diseases, and BioPharmaceuticals, which includes Cardiovascular, Renal & Metabolism and Respiratory & Immunology. The portfolio is sold in more than 125 countries, with oncology now the primary growth and research engine.

Science-led portfolio selection concentrates resources on drug candidates through staged development decisions. Antibody-drug conjugates, immuno-oncology, cell therapy, multispecific antibodies, rare-disease biologics, and AI-enabled discovery extend a base rebuilt after major patent expiries.

Performance depends on clinical evidence, regulatory approvals, manufacturing and supply execution, patent exclusivity, and pricing and reimbursement rules. Pending proceedings involving the China subsidiary add a current legal and compliance dependency, while the allegations remain unresolved.
