Our Commitment to Rare Disease
Working with the rare disease community, we strive to better understand the challenges faced by those living with rare diseases and their families, and then use our expertise to help address them. We are inspired by the strong and resilient rare disease communities around the world, driving us to work even harder to develop innovative treatments to improve their lives. We actively listen to and learn from their experiences and integrate their insights into our efforts throughout the development process.
We have been focused on developing potential treatments for rare diseases for many years, and it remains a core part of our strategy. We have invested significantly in research and development and leveraged our scientific expertise to bring scientific advancements to patients. By conducting first-in-the-world clinical trials, we help continue the search for life-changing medicines.
Targeted research in bone disease, endocrinology, and other areas with high unmet medical needs.
Plans to expand our work into additional disease areas with unmet need, established and emerging modalities and gene-based therapies, and all stages from late-preclinical to marketed products.
