What celgene does

Celgene previously operated as an independent biopharmaceutical company focused on cancer and immunology medicines and was acquired by Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) in 2019; the entity is now a legacy brand operating under the BMS corporate umbrella. Bristol Myers Squibb is a publicly traded global biopharmaceutical company (NYSE: BMY) headquartered in Summit, New Jersey, with international subsidiaries including Bristol-Myers Squibb, S.A.U. in Madrid, Spain, and dedicated R&D infrastructure including the CITRE hematology center in Seville. The company's core activity is the development, manufacture, and commercialization of prescription pharmaceutical products across five therapeutic areas: oncology, hematology, immunology, cardiovascular disease, and virology.

Its technology base spans small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulatory agents, kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and proprietary cellular therapies, including two commercialized CAR-T products (Abecma for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and Breyanzi for hematological malignancies) and checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1 (Opdivo), CTLA-4 (Yervoy), and the LAG-3 / PD-1 combination Opdualag. The active portfolio also includes the oral anticoagulant Eliquis, the multiple-myeloma franchise Revlimid / Imnovid / Empliciti, the cardiac myosin inhibitor Camzyos for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the TYK2 inhibitor Sotyktu for plaque psoriasis, the S1P modulator Zeposia for multiple sclerosis and ulcerative colitis, and additional oncology, virology, and transplant products. Core R&D capabilities include cellular therapies, personalized medicines, and a Seville-based hematology research center focused on identifying new therapeutic targets.

BMS generates revenue through direct prescription pharmaceutical product sales, with distribution via enterprise field sales to hospitals, treatment centers, licensed pharmacies, and pharmaceutical wholesalers across 40+ countries in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined by country-specific regulatory frameworks; products are dispensed only through authorized healthcare providers. The go-to-market motion combines country-specific commercial operations and websites, healthcare-provider engagement programs, patient support and disease-awareness campaigns, and digital channels (LinkedIn, X, YouTube) targeting healthcare professionals, patients and caregivers, and researchers. A 2019 acquisition of Celgene added the hematology and immunology franchises that now sit at the core of the company's oncology and immunology portfolio.

• Merck & Co. Direct peer in oncology: Merck's Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is the leading PD-1 inhibitor competing head-to-head with BMS's Opdivo across multiple tumor types. Both are large-cap diversified biopharmas with oncology, vaccines, and specialty care franchises.
• Pfizer: Direct peer across oncology, immunology, and vaccines. Pfizer competes with BMS in hematology, solid tumors, and inflammatory disease, and through Seagen has built a competing oncology biologics portfolio.
• Roche: Direct peer in oncology and immunology. Roche markets competing immune checkpoint inhibitors (Tecentriq), a deep hematology franchise (including Polivy, Columvi, Lunsumio), and competes with BMS CAR-T via internal cell therapy efforts.
• Novartis: Direct peer across oncology, hematology, and immunology. Novartis was the first to commercialize an FDA-approved CAR-T therapy (Kymriah) and competes directly with BMS in hematology and cardiovascular (Entresto vs. Eliquis/Camzyos).
• AstraZeneca: Direct peer in oncology and specialty care: AstraZeneca markets the competing PD-L1 inhibitor Imfinzi, has built a major hematology franchise post-Alexion, and increasingly overlaps with BMS in immunology and rare disease.
• Johnson & Johnson: Direct peer in oncology, hematology, and immunology: J&J's Darzalex/Carvykti franchise (the latter co-developed with Legend Biotech) directly competes with BMS's multiple myeloma assets including Revlimid and Abecma.
