Bristol Myers Squibb is a global drug company based in Princeton, New Jersey, whose purchase of Celgene, completed in November 2019, made blood cancers and blood disorders a large part of its business. Most of its medicines treat common conditions such as cancer, heart disease and schizophrenia, but many of them are for rare diseases.

Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic heart muscle disease characterized by inappropriate left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction.
How common: 1 in 500 people; 50% of first-degree relatives of affected individuals inherit the mutation
Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system characterized by the presence of abnormal Reed-Sternberg cells.
How common: About 8,920 new cases expected in the U.S. in 2026 (American Cancer Society); approximately 2.6 per 100,000 people
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic, progressive lung disease characterized by scarring (fibrosis) of lung tissue.
How common: About 100,000 people in the U.S., with 30,000 to 40,000 new cases a year (MedlinePlus Genetics)

How common: Approximately 5 in 100,000 people; an estimated 57,000 diagnosed individuals in the U.S. as of 2024
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the immune system destroys platelets, the blood cells that stop bleeding, and slows their production.
How common: Estimated 9 to 20 per 100,000 people; children often have a temporary form that resolves within months
Lupus nephritis is kidney inflammation caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in which the immune system attacks the kidneys' filters and, without treatment, can lead to kidney failure.
How common: About 21 per 100,000 people in a Minnesota population study in 2015 (Lupus Midwest Network, 2022)
