Our treatments portfolio
Laboratoires Pierre Fabre market oncology treatments, including precision oncology, in many countries. As a mid-sized pharmaceutical company, we have the agility and focus to deliver innovative treatments for patients with particularly complex cancers.
R&D strategy, partnering with biotechs
Research and development of new oncology treatments is a long, complex, and costly process. Convinced that innovation in oncology requires the sharing of complementary expertise, we have adopted a resolutely partnership-based approach to oncology R&D. For example, we have been collaborating for several years with Array BioPharma (since acquired by Pfizer), PUMA Biotechnology, and Scorpion Therapeutics (since acquired by Lily) to develop targeted cancer therapies.
A comprehensive approach : prevent, treat, support
At Laboratoires Pierre Fabre, we take a truly holistic approach to cancer care, focusing as much on treatment as on prevention and post-treatment follow-up. This holistic approach is unique in the pharmaceutical industry.
In terms of prevention, we offer a wide range of proven and recognized dermo-cosmetic products designed to protect and preserve skin health. We are particularly recognized for our innovation and commitment to sun protection for all skin types, including hypersensitive skin and those at risk of actinic keratosis and melanoma. We also holistically support patients in their journey to quit smoking.
In post-treatment supportive care, our dermo-cosmetic and oral care products help mitigate the potential side effects of cancer treatments on the skin, hair, and oral cavity, thereby improving patient comfort and self-esteem.
We are committed to the prevention of colorectal, skin and breast cancers through annual public awareness campaigns on screening and the importance of diagnosis. We also support patient communities by providing informational materials that help patients navigate their cancer care journey.
