Sanofi is hosting an Investor R&D Event in New York providing updates and insight into its innovative pipeline and new growth drivers.
Focusing on its unprecedented portfolio of 12 new molecular entities with blockbuster potential, including multiple late-stage assets, the company will be prioritizing development and leveraging its leadership in immunology across all other therapeutic areas. Sanofi will also share its ambitions to break efficacy ceilings and expand into new indications, generating a steady flow of predominantly wholly-owned new assets.
The company will continue to serve more patients with a combination of strong growth from existing assets and a steady stream of potential blockbuster launches:
Sanofi’s R&D will lead to a 50% increase in the number of Phase 3 studies between 2023 and 2025, creating the greatest pipeline momentum in Sanofi’s history. The company’s commitment to R&D will also support an expected 25 mid- to late-stage read-outs and up to 19 regulatory submissions for its pharma assets in the next two years.
Houman Ashrafian, Head of Research and Development, Sanofi
“Today we show how our decision to strategically increase our focus on R&D will unlock our pipeline’s full potential as we prioritize potential first- or best-in-class assets to deliver innovative medicines to patients. With an unprecedented number of potential blockbuster assets in our pipeline, we will showcase how we become a development-driven, tech-powered biopharma company, committed to serving patients and accelerating growth. We are in a privileged position today with many very promising assets in mid- and late-stage development. We believe in our capacity to improve outcomes for patients globally, while bringing innovative new medicines to market and strengthening our leadership in immunology and neuro-inflammation.”
Paul Hudson, Chief Executive Officer, Sanofi
“Building on our successful recent launches, we are making decisive choices to deliver breakthrough medicines and long-term value for all of our stakeholders. We are confident in our current product portfolio and the strength of our pipeline to deliver sustainable growth through 2030 and beyond. I could not be prouder of the progress we have made over the past three years, and I am looking forward to sharing further updates as our key assets pass new milestones toward their market launch and as we turn Sanofi into an immunology powerhouse.”
Highlighted key programs
Sanofi shares insights into the development status and target indications of its pipeline of 12 potential blockbuster assets in immunology and vaccines. This includes its three ‘pipeline-in-a-product’ assets, amlitelimab, frexalimab and SAR441566 (Oral TNFR1si), each with a peak sales potential of over €5 billion, as well as treatments for multiple sclerosis (tolebrutinib), asthma (lunsekimig, rilzabrutinib), inflamatory bowel disease (Anti-TL1A), atopic dermatitis (IRAK4 degrader), and COPD (itepekimab). Additional potential blockbusters include vaccines against acne, extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli, and RSV in older adults.
The company also demonstrates strong proof points of its progress in increasing R&D productivity, notably by continuously evolving its R&D engine, unlocking the power of its data and leveraging AI at scale to inform portfolio decisions. Additionally, Sanofi presents the actions taken to reflect the group’s sustainability roadmap across its development pipeline.
