At Astellas, we are a progressive health partner dedicated to delivering value and outcomes where needed.

We focus on innovative science, initially targeting areas of greatest potential and developing solutions for high-need patient populations, often in rare, under-served, or life-threatening diseases.

We collaborate directly with patients, healthcare professionals, and doctors to ensure that patient and clinical needs guide our development activities at every stage.

Our global vision for Patient Centricity is to support the development of innovative health solutions through a deep understanding of the patient experience.

At Astellas, Patient Centricity is more than a buzzword—it's a guiding principle for action. We believe all staff have a role in fostering a patient-centric culture and integrating patient awareness into our daily work, regardless of role, team, or division.

We work closely with regulatory authorities and payers to find new ways to ensure access to therapies. We provide insights and real-world evidence to inform decisions that benefit patients and caregivers, ensuring our medicines continue to deliver meaningful outcomes.

Beyond medicines, we support stakeholder initiatives to improve awareness, education, access, and standards of care.
