Partnering in Oncology
Working together with our collaboration partners, Boehringer Ingelheim is leading the way in the search for novel therapeutic concepts, biomarkers, drug candidates and treatment modalities in oncology and cancer immunology. Our growing portfolio of partnerships includes a large number of collaborations with academic partners and biotechnology companies and we are actively pursuing new early-science collaborations in our areas of partnering interest.
Our experience
We are advancing a comprehensive clinical development pipeline of around 20 projects including cancer cell-directed agents, immune oncology therapies and smart combination approaches. These are being developed in various cancers and tumor types and include multiple new biological entities and new chemical entities. We are poised for the next wave of innovation with clinical phase projects involving novel modalities such as oncolytic viruses, cancer vaccines and T-cell engagers.
Our commitment to innovation in oncology research has already resulted in the launch of two pioneering treatments for non-small cell lung cancer.
Located in Austria and the USA, our dedicated Oncology research centers are the hubs for our cancer R&D activities where our scientists, working together with our innovation partners, have the ambition to identify and translate the most promising scientific breakthroughs into clinical applications for patients across a wide range of cancers.
Our research focus
Our research in oncology and cancer immunology has two major focus areas:
- Cancer cell-directed therapies
- Immune cell-directed therapies.
