Strategy

OSI Pharmaceuticals strives to improve the health and quality of life for patients, develop breakthrough treatment options for physicians, offer rewarding careers to employees, and deliver value to our shareholders. Our strategy is to build on the success of our flagship product, Tarceva® (erlotinib), and continue to invest in clinical and pre-clinical drug candidates in oncology, diabetes and obesity to provide longer-term growth.

OSI has evolved to become a scientifically strong and financially successful top-tier biopharmaceutical company that is focused on disease areas that impact virtually every family in the world. Our Oncology team is dedicated to the discovery and development of molecular targeted therapies to revolutionize the way cancer is treated and improve treatment outcomes.

Our Diabetes & Obesity team is dedicated to the discovery and development of novel drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. The strategy for this business team is to advance a pipeline of innovative diabetes and obesity research projects through clinical proof-of-concept studies, with a view to then potentially seeking financially attractive development and commercialization partnerships for these research programs.

Our goal is to pave the way for the future of oncology, diabetes and obesity treatments. We believe that our Company strategy is poised to deliver a rich pipeline of promising drug candidates that have the potential to significantly improve the treatment options available to patients today.
