Bayer Pharma Head Touts Healthiest Pipeline in Company's History -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-01

1423 GMT - Bayer's pharmaceutical division is set to benefit in coming years from a drug pipeline that is in better shape than ever before, the unit's president Stefan Oelrich says in an interview. "Last year alone we had five product approvals and we had six phase three readouts," Oelrich says. A few years ago people said Bayer had no pharma pipeline, he adds. "We've done a lot with relatively little." Oelrich cites a targeted radiotherapy for prostate cancer, gene therapies for Parkinson's disease and heart failure, and antibody for acute stroke among the most promising products in the business's early-stage pipeline. Shares rise 0.9%. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
