Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Millennium Pharmaceuticals wants to be "the" drug company for the new millennium. Its cancer drug Velcade is approved as a treatment for multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (or MCL, an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). The company has more than a dozen other candidates in the pipeline, most of them cancer-related. Millennium's oncology-focused sales force, in partnership with Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Ortho Biotech, sells the drug in the US; Ortho Biotech is responsible for sales in Europe and in other countries where Velcade is approved (except Japan, which is covered by Janssen). Takeda Pharmaceutical acquired Millennium Pharmaceuticals for $8.8 billion in 2008.
