In the next several months, the company expects to launch a type 2 diabetes indication for its lipid-lowering drug, WelChol(R) (colesevalam hydrochloride). With FDA approval, WelChol will be the first LDL-lowering medication also indicated for improving glycemic control. And within two years, Daiichi Sankyo and its co-promotion partner Eli Lilly and Company hope to bring the anti-platelet agent prasugrel to market for patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Globally, Daiichi Sankyo currently ranks as one of the top twenty pharmaceutical companies, with sales last year exceeding $8 billion. As a company in existence for more than 100 years, Daiichi Sankyo is very well known in Japan-it is the country's second largest drug maker, ranking ahead of Astellas Pharma Inc. and Eisai Inc. whose sales are $7.5 and $4.6 billion, respectively.

"The legacy of Daiichi and Sankyo is more than a century of pharmaceutical experience in bringing important medical discoveries to market," Pieroni said. "We are continuing this tradition of solid R&D innovation and are confident that our company is well positioned as an emerging leader in cardiovascular care to excel in the challenging U.S. pharmaceutical marketplace-and in bringing more life sciences jobs to New Jersey."

Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd., (TSE: 4568), the U.S. organization's parent company, is traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
