Celgene (NYSE:CELG) is a pharmaceutical company that develops and sells drugs to treat blood cancers. Its main drugs include Thalomid, which is used to treat multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cell in blood; Revlimid, which is a first-line treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS); and a family of Ritalin drugs, which are used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD). The company generated $2.6 billion in revenue and $777 million in net income in 2009.^[1]

Velcade has shown much greater efficacy as a first-line treatment in its clinical trials, surpassing the performance of Revlimid, which means it will compete fiercely with Revlimid after it receives FDA approval and enters the market.
