"Since opening our U.S. headquarters in 2018, we have remained squarely focused on advancing and launching innovative treatment options for patients in need and are agnostic to where that innovation comes from," said David K. Lee, Chief Executive Officer, Servier Pharmaceuticals. "The presence of Servier Pharmaceuticals and our strategic partners at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) 2019 further exemplifies our commitment and dedication to developing new medicines in a way that’s most meaningful for patients."
More than 40 percent† of Servier Group’s investments in R&D are devoted to fighting cancer. Servier’s research in oncology focuses on therapies aimed at restoring programmed cell death (apoptosis) in cancer cells and at mobilizing the immune system against cancer cells (immuno-oncology).
To further accelerate the research and development of innovative treatments, Servier Group has instituted a policy of open innovation and has established more than 50 strategic partnerships. Partnership models are uniquely tailored to the engagement and span industry and academia.
In oncology, 13 drugs are currently being developed as an outgrowth of this collaborative research approach. These drugs target different types of lymphomas and leukemia, and other solid tumors, including gastrointestinal and lung. These drugs are investigational and have not yet been reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety and efficacy.
