- Novartis AG is dedicated to the worldwide discovery, advancement, production, and distribution of pioneering healthcare solutions. The enterprise now operates exclusively as an innovative medicines company, having concluded the full divestiture of its Sandoz generics and biosimilars business in October 2023. Its focused efforts encompass key therapeutic areas, including cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases, immunology, neuroscience, and oncology, striving to address significant global patient needs. Within these domains, Novartis offers a suite of advanced therapies such as Kisqali for breast cancer, Kesimpta for multiple sclerosis, Pluvicto for prostate cancer, and Scemblix for chronic myeloid leukemia, in addition to products like Cosentyx, Leqvio, Fabhalta, and Rhapsido for chronic spontaneous urticaria. The company strategically expands its pipeline through acquisitions and partnerships, evidenced by an increased investment and collaboration with Argo Biopharma on RNA interference therapies for cardiovascular conditions, the acquisition of MorphoSys AG to enhance its oncology offerings, and plans for substantial expansion of its manufacturing footprint in the United States. Novartis AG was established in 1996 and is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland.
