Ipsen in Oncology
Ipsen in Oncology
Ipsen specializes in treatments for niche cancers. This means we focus on a select group of cancers that are characterized by their high unmet need – these tend to be the patients with the highest needs often overlooked by other pharmaceutical companies.
To us, every patient matters, and we are emboldened and inspired by patients to pursue new treatments through partnerships and external innovation.
We go boldly where others don’t, so no patient is left behind.
