Bosulif (bosutinib) is for the treatment of adult patients with chronic, accelerated, or blast phase Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) with resistance, or intolerance to prior therapy. Once-daily Bosulif was studied in a broad range of patients with CML, including CML patients treated with imatinib followed by a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Bosulif addresses an unmet need in the CML treatment landscape.

Eliquis (apixaban) gained approval to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in the U.S., the 27 countries in the European Union, Canada, and Japan, and is under review in other countries. Elliquis, an oral Factor Xa inhibitor anticoagulant, has demonstrated superior risk reductions versus warfarin in three key outcomes of stroke and systemic embolism, major bleeding and all-cause death in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. In 2007, Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb entered into a worldwide collaboration to develop and commercialize this oral anticoaglulant discovered by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Inlyta (axitinib) is indicated for the treatment of advanced kidney cancer when one prior drug treatment for this disease has not worked or has stopped working. It is the first treatment to demonstrate superior progression-free survival in a Phase III study compared with sorafenib in second-line advanced kidney cancer. Since its approval, Inlyta has established its utility in this setting, where it is an important treatment option for many patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of one prior systemic therapy.

Quillivant XR (methylphenidate hydrochloride) for extended-release oral suspension, CII, is the first once-daily liquid medication approved in the U.S. for the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
