Partnerships and Pipeline

Every time we innovate to help each person live better...

Our ambition is to be a partner of choice for biotechs bringing innovative therapies to market. Our focus is breakthrough therapies for diseases with high unmet needs, especially in oncology and rare diseases. We are actively identifying potential therapies to in-license and complement our growing pipeline.

As part of Pierre Fabre Laboratories, we bring six decades of worldwide experience in pharmaceutical commercialization, while our agile corporate structure enables us to develop and implement at biotech speed. Most of all, we emphasize creating long-term value for patients and society.

Innovative precision treatments

We build our pipeline through both research and development (R&D) and business development and licensing (BD&L). In both domains, oncology is a priority focus, accounting for over 80% of total investment.

Our current portfolio consists of one commercial products, one product in registration, one product in Phase II development, and two products in Phase I development.
