EUSA Pharma Inc is a new transatlantic specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and marketing innovative products for the worldwide hospital market. The company was formally launched with the acquisition of OPi SA, in March 2007.

EUSA Pharma aims to create a $1 billion company by building a portfolio of products in the fields of oncology, pain and critical care, and to create a balanced company in the EU and USA. It will seek to in-licence, develop and market late-stage compounds. The Company has an active partnering approach to take advantage of the opportunities presented by its outstanding infrastructure and capabilities. In addition, EUSA Pharma will seek to licence out portfolio products not in its core therapeutic areas such as its early stage CNS products, and to partner or out-licence its fully human anti-IL6 mAb in inflammatory diseases.

Following the acquisition of OPi, EUSA Pharma has four products in the market plus three products in clinical development and three products in preclinical development. EUSA Pharma’s management team has a proven track record of marketing within global pharmaceutical companies and an entrepreneurial edge in the creation of new pharmaceutical businesses.
