Astellas is committed to providing patients, customers, community and employees with a bright future by Changing Tomorrow. As a responsible corporate citizen, it's important we crystalize our stance on important issues impacting the healthcare industry and pharmaceutical innovation.
Read our stance on important patient-relevant topics below. Read all of our corporate policy and positioning statements here.
Position on expanded access to investigational medicines
Astellas is committed to making our medicines available to patients in the most efficient manner to address their unmet medical needs. The general approach is through the conduct of clinical trials and subsequent registration and commercialization of our products. However, Astellas recognizes that patients with serious or life-threatening diseases may have exhausted all of their available treatment options, may not qualify for a clinical trial and may seek access to investigational medicines.
Position on patient organization engagement
Patient organizations play an active role in representing the patient voice to society and the healthcare community. Patient organizations are an important stakeholder for Astellas.
Position on value + pricing of medicines
Astellas contributes to improving the health of people around the world by providing innovative medicines to patients. We do this by investing in leading-edge research and development for innovative medicines and by supporting patients to the access to the medicines they need.
Astellas engages with many stakeholders in the healthcare community to find ways to meet the dual imperatives of working towards affordable access for patients while maintaining proper incentives for companies required to sustain the promise of future innovative medicines.
Position on access to health
Advances continue to be made in technology and medicine that address unmet medical needs. However, there still remain barriers for many people who have difficulty accessing the healthcare they need due to the lack of available treatments, poverty, healthcare system challenges and insufficient healthcare information.
