Daiichi Sankyo Business Development

At Daiichi Sankyo, we have a firm commitment to flexibility and transparency for all our alliances in service to making any collaboration greater than the sum of its parts. By creating tailored business models for each asset, we have built a history of strong, successful partnerships in the interest of rapidly bringing innovative therapies to patients. Our oncology pipeline is one of the strongest in the industry with great potential for transforming the way diseases are treated. 

Our early research team focuses on new approaches to care, leveraging our world-class technology and expertise. Together with our partners, we believe we can transform standards of care.

Our therapeutic areas of interest include:

Earlier stage approaches & platforms, including:

  • Discovery platform for tumor environment-dependent functional peptides
  • Antibodies (including VHH antibodies), peptides, or small molecules with high penetration and retention in tumor stroma
  • New targets for gene therapy

Oncology, later stage assets:

  • Post-preclinical or clinical-stage oncology programs with the potential to combine with DXd-based ADCs (or topoisomerase I inhibitors) to improve clinical outcomes by broadening the addressable population or increasing the duration of response.
  • Mechanisms of action of interest potentially include some of the following:
    • Cell Cycle regulation
    • TKI (Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors) in priority indications
    • DDR (DNA Damage Response)n

Non-oncology, late-stage assets (phase 2 ongoing or later) regional partnerships

Non-oncology, research, including psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular, and others
