IDEC’S Mission Statement

IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation is a leader in the development of targeted immunotherapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. The company’s products act chiefly through immune system mechanisms, exerting their effect by binding to specific, readily targeted immune cells in the patient’s blood or lymphatic system. In human clinical trials, IDEC’s immunotherapies have demonstrated long-lasting therapeutic effects, low toxicity and few side effects, potentially providing significant improvements over currently available treatments. In addition, IDEC’s products offer opportunities for outpatient administration, providing the prospect to reduce overall treatment costs.
