At Sanofi, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We are an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma company committed to improving people’s lives and delivering compelling growth. Sanofi leverages its expertise in immunoscience to bring forward paradigm-shifting treatments for respiratory diseases.
Through innovation, and in partnership with Regeneron, we have proven ourselves a leader in type 2 inflammation research, providing solutions for some chronic inflammatory diseases. Our researchers are also looking beyond type 2 inflammation to discover new solutions for patients with mixed inflammatory responses.
Chronic respiratory diseases can have a significant physical, psychological and economic impact on patients and caregivers, and can place an economic burden on the healthcare system. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, causing 3.5 million deaths1 in 2021. In the U.S. alone, the total economic cost of COPD for people over 45 years old is $24 billion per year.2
Improving outcomes in COPD requires a multifaceted approach—one that combines scientific innovation with system-level transformation. Sanofi is committed to working alongside health systems to reimagine care pathways by leveraging technology, addressing barriers to access, and supporting community education. By integrating insights with real-world data and informatics, we aim to enable earlier intervention, more personalized treatment strategies, and more equitable care delivery across diverse populations.
