“Last year was an important year for Abraxis,” reports Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., chairman and CEO of Abraxis BioScience. “In addition to achieving our highest revenues to date, we made strategic acquisitions that enhanced our product offerings and manufacturing capabilities; defined our divisions enabling each to capitalize on strategic opportunities and operate more efficiently; and continued to drive sales of Abraxane while advancing our clinical programs. As we explore additional partnerships and other strategic opportunities, we believe 2007 will prove to be another important year in the evolution of Abraxis.”
