Reproductive Medicine & Maternal Health
Parenthood can be one of life’s most fulfilling achievements; however, it can be a challenging journey for many individuals and couples. Over the past decade, the use of in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been increasing in the U.S,1 with 2.5% of all U.S. births now the result of successful IVF cycles.2
Gastroenterology & Microbiome
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are affected by recurrent C. difficile infection,3 a potentially fatal condition. Ferring focuses on this debilitating condition for which there is significant unmet need.
Orthopaedics
In the U.S., 14 million people suffer from osteoarthritis of the knee.4 Ferring focuses on treating pain associated with this condition and advancing a potential non-surgical treatment option for radicular leg pain or sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation which affects 2-3% of the U.S. population.5
Urology and Uro-Oncology
Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the United States6 and about 75% of newly diagnosed patients have non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).7
