    REPORTING PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS

  • Patients are at the heart of every-

    thing Celgene does. Improving

    their lives is why we exist. We work

    tirelessly to deliver truly innovative

    and life-changing therapies.

    a collaboration with Agios, which is an exceptional example of how Celgene and its collaborators can positively impact the lives of patients with high unmet needs. Our research teams currently work with more than 70 such industry and academic collaborations.

    Bringing treatments such as IDHIFA to market is a direct result of Celgenes industry- leading commitment to reinvesting revenue into research and development (R&D), which includes robust clinical trial activities. Our R&D, medical and patient safety teams work together to develop safe, well-planned and effectively managed clinical trials. At the time of this writing, Celgene was sponsoring more than 230clinical trials examining 33unique compounds, with more than 19,000patients actively enrolled.

To that end, Celgene is working across stakeholders to address issues of cost, value and access, including reform of outdated insurance designs that force patients to face high deductibles and high co-insurance for their medicines.

    Discovering, developing and commercializing breakthrough medicines for patients with serious unmet medical needs is our mission. We are working to change the course of human health through bold pursuits in science.

    As a global leader in disease- altering myeloma treatments, for example, we are helping patients in battling this incurable disease. You can also see our progress in leukemia, where IDHIFA (enasidenib) was granted approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treat-ment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test. These patients have been without options for decades. We developed IDHIFA through
