Product Descriptions

Alpharma

Alpharma develops, markets, and sells proprietary pharmaceutical products and services designed to improve the quality of life of patients and caregivers. Alpharma's first product offering is KADIAN (morphine sulfate extended-release)Capsules CII, which is proven to provide 24-hour control of chronic pain with the convenience of Once-a-Day or Twice-a-Day dosing.

 

Celgene Corporation

Celgene is a multinational integrated biopharmaceutical company,

incorporated in 1986 as a Delaware corporation. We are primarily engaged

in the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative

therapies designed to treat cancer and immunological diseases through

regulation of genomic and proteomic targets. Driving commercial success

and profitability are marketed products, which include REVLIMID(r)

(lenalidomide), THALOMID® (thalidomide), ALKERAN® (melphalan),

FOCALIN® (dexmethylphenidate HCl), cellular and tissue therapeutics,

as well as the RITALIN® family of drugs.

 

On August 31, 2000, we acquired Signal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a

privately held San Diego-based biopharmaceuticals company focused on the

discovery and development of drugs that regulate genes associated with

diseases, which is presently a wholly owned subsidiary. On December 31,

2002, we acquired Anthrogenesis Corporation, a privately held New Jersey

based biotherapeutics company and cord blood banking business, which has

also pioneered the recovery of stem cells from human placental tissue

following the completion of a full-term, successful pregnancy.

Anthrogenesis now operates as Celgene Cellular Therapeutics ("CCT"), a

wholly owned subsidiary.

 

The Company, together with these diverse subsidiaries, has built a

commercialization, development, and discovery platform for drug and

cell-based therapies that allows us to both create and retain

significant value within our therapeutic franchise areas of cancer and

inflammatory diseases. This target-to-therapeutic platform integrates

both small molecule and cell-based therapies and spans the key functions

required to generate a broad, deep and diverse pipeline of new drugs and

cell therapy candidates, including:

i. cell biology, genomics, proteomics and informatics technologies for identifying and validating clinically important therapeutic targets;

ii. high throughput screening systems combined with diverse and focused compound libraries for discovering new drug leads;

iii. computational and medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates;

iv. in vitro and in vivo models of disease for preclinical evaluation of drug efficacy and safety; and

v. a clinical and regulatory organization highly experienced in the successful development of pharmaceutical agents.

 

The ongoing development of immunomodulatory agents, cell-signaling

inhibitors, as well as cellular and tissue therapeutics may allow us to

provide physicians/clinicians with a more comprehensive and integrated

set of therapeutic solutions for managing complex human diseases such as

cancer and inflammatory-related diseases.  www.celgene.com
