Working together, with patients for patients
What does this mean in practice?
Ipsen works with patients, their families, and more than 270 patient organizations around the world at a global, regional, and national level. We believe in working together with patients, for patients. In practice this means that experiences of the patient community guide everything we do. It all starts with listening, and we enter dialogue with them as early as possible when developing new medicines. Our key priorities are generating data and sharing experiences by focusing on long-term strategic engagement and partnerships with patient organizations. We believe close collaboration and inclusion is essential to ensure we chart the right course. Our goal is to understand and respond to patients’ needs, helping them and their caregivers at different points throughout their experiences.
Patients drive our science in Oncology, Neuroscience and Rare Disease. Being in touch with what matters to patients and their families helps us understand their needs and work together to bring meaningful improvements to their lives.
Making a difference
Ipsen is committed to working closely and inclusively with the patient community to impact medical care and patient outcomes in our focus fields of Oncology, Rare Disease and Neuroscience.

Ipsen clinical trials
Ipsen conducts first-in-the-world clinical trials to take science forward and bring innovative, new options to patients.

Making lay summaries accessible and understandable
We are committed to ensuring that all our published research is freely available to everyone. To make this happen, we work closely with the patient community to provide summaries of key clinical studies sponsored by Ipsen in easy-to-understand language, so they are not just available, but accessible to all.

This fully integrated approach is built on four pillars: Environment, Patients, People and Governance. Generation Ipsen is designed to ensure we meet patients’ needs while working in ways that are ethical, responsible and community-minded.
