We push the boundaries of science to change the practice of medicine, transform the lives of patients living with cancer, and ultimately eliminate cancer as a cause of death. To accomplish this, we focus on delivering a new generation of medicines that have the potential to redefine cancer treatment.
AstraZeneca aims to transform the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by eliminating preventable asthma attacks across all severities and removing COPD as a leading cause of death through earlier, biology-led treatment.
With common pathways and underlying disease drivers across respiratory and immunology, we are following the science from chronic lung diseases to immune-driven diseases. Our ambition in immunology is to achieve disease control and ultimately clinical remission in targeted immune-driven diseases.
In addition to our focus on the treatment of diseases in our three main therapy areas, we are also selectively active in the areas of autoimmunity and inflammation, neuroscience and infection. Our approach in these other disease areas looks to advance the novel product pipeline with partnerships where appropriate, and preserve a stake in the most promising assets.
We group these fields into one therapy area to help support existing medicines, develop and commercialise new therapies, prioritise resources, enable effective and efficient investment and maximise value for patients and shareholders.
