In hematology, the company is advancing its leadership position with sustainable growth of on-market products, including ADVATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)] and FEIBA [Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex (Human)]. Baxalta is also bringing next-generation products, including BAX 855, an investigational extended half-life recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) treatment for hemophilia A to be marketed in the United States under the brand name ADYNOVATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Pegylated].
In immunology, Baxalta expects to capitalize on its broad and differentiated immune globulin portfolio with the successful launch of HYQVIA [Immune Globulin Infusion 10% (human) with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase], an innovative therapy for the treatment of adults with primary immunodeficiency.
In oncology, the company’s late-stage pipeline capitalizes on its expertise and capabilities in rare diseases and complex therapeutics to address patients with high unmet need and difficult-to-treat cancers including myelofibrosis, a rare blood cancer, and metastatic pancreatic cancer. In addition, Baxalta recently announced the acquisition of the ONCASPAR® (pegaspargase) product portfolio for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which is expected to close in the second half of 2015.
