Sanofi has highlighted the progress being made on its research and development strategy during an analyst meeting in Paris.

In accordance with the company's 'Sustaining Innovation' business strategy, Sanofi has been able to cultivate a pipeline of 71 research projects, including 37 new molecular entities and novel vaccines.

At least ten pivotal phase III studies are expected to start over the next 12 months, which will evaluate new treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, eosinophilic oesophagitis, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity,
primary progressive multiple sclerosis and non-small-cell lung cancer.

Regulatory filings expected in the next year include the investigational cancer drugs cemiplimab and isatuximab, as well as the novel type 1 diabetes therapy sotagliflozin and dupilumab, a potential treatment for uncontrolled, persistent asthma.

Dr Olivier Brandicourt, chief executive officer of Sanofi, said: "We have seen significant advancement on our ambition to sustain innovation in research and development, with the development of leading technology platforms and proof of concept demonstrated in multiple high-potential projects in late-stage trials."
