Leader Perspectives
As we continue to make advancements in cancer research, we’re focused on delivering treatment options in areas of oncology with high unmet needs, including HER2-positive biliary tract cancer (BTC), as well as supporting patient communities beyond R&D. Through recent advocacy efforts, in addition to sharing new data at the upcoming ASCO 2024 Annual Meeting, we’re committed to supporting patients throughout their disease journeys.
March 26th marks Purple Day – a pivotal moment in time to recognize and support the 50 million people around the world who are living with epilepsy. We’re using this day to pause and reflect on the progress that has been made for people in the epilepsy community and advance our purpose to innovate to transform the lives of patients and their families.
Through our commitment to patients with unmet needs, we’re raising awareness about HER2-positive biliary tract cancer (BTC), an aggressive type of cancer often associated with a poor prognosis. As we continue to focus on those for whom we can have the greatest impact, HER2-positive cancers are one area we’re applying the science by investigating and developing innovative solutions for patients.
Our presence at SABCS 2023 marks a significant step forward for Jazz as our oncology pipeline continues to evolve to address new tumor types such as breast cancer. We’re excited to gather with leaders in the breast cancer community and share our research, including findings for our HER2-targeted bispecific antibody in HER2+ breast cancer, which reflects our continuous dedication to reshaping cancer care and addressing unmet needs.
November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month – a milestone that allows us to pause and reflect on both the progress the community has made for people living with this condition and their continued unmet needs. This time of reflection is especially important for people diagnosed with rare forms of epilepsy, as well as their families and caregivers, who are continuing to search for improved therapeutic outcomes.
Recently, Mat Davis, PhD, vice president and head of data science, presented at the 2023 STAT Summit where he shared a key moment in his career when he learned the necessity of breaking down silos to fully embrace quantitative experts across the three avenues of drug development.
