Optimizing the Patent-Protected Portfolio. The company will continue its focus on delivering revenue from patent-protected medicines, seven of which are global market leaders in their disease areas. Revenues from certain in-line medicines including Geodon, Xalatan, Zyvox, and Vfend are growing at double-digit rates, and revenues from new medicines Chantix, Lyrica and Sutent more than doubled to $3.3 B in 2007, versus $1.5 B in 2006.
The Company is also establishing a new Business Unit focused solely on oncology in its Worldwide Pharmaceutical Group. This unit will bring together global oncology functions including clinical development, medical affairs, commercial development, sales and marketing. It will have the resources to seize growth opportunities to strengthen Pfizer's research investment in oncology, a market expected to more than double in the next decade. The Oncology Business Unit will enable the Company to expedite launches of novel oncology agents, as well as to focus research efforts on cancers common in Asia, including those of the liver, esophagus and nasopharynx.
