biopharmaceutical company whose purpose is to innovate to transform
the lives of patients and their families. We are dedicated to
developing life-changing medicines for people with serious diseases
- often with limited or no therapeutic options. We have a diverse
portfolio of marketed medicines and novel product candidates, from
early- to late-stage development, in neuroscience and oncology. We
actively explore new options for patients including novel

Oncology Overview Announced in December 2019, PharmaMar and Jazz
Pharmaceuticals have entered into an exclusive license agreement,
which became effective in January 2020, granting Jazz U.S.
commercialization rights to Lurbinectedin. This milestone is an
exciting opportunity for Jazz to enter the solid tumor space with a
late-stage molecule, complementing the company's current oncology
portfolio of commercial products in hematology/oncology and Jazz's
R&D portfolio in precision oncology including investigational
efforts in solid tumors. Lurbinectedin is a potential treatment for
SCLC developed by PharmaMar. It is an immunomodulator and selective
inhibitor of the oncogenic transcription programs on which many
tumors are particularly dependent. Together with its effect on
cancer cells, Lurbinectedin inhibits oncogenic transcription in
tumor-associated macrophages, downregulating the production of
cytokines that are essential for the growth of the tumor. There
remains a critical unmet need for patients with relapsed SCLC, as
the treatment landscape has not changed substantially in more than
two decades since with the last new chemical entity was approved.
Position Profile The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) will provide
clinical and scientific information in response to inquiries about
Jazz Pharmaceuticals' marketed and developmental products to
physicians, other health care providers, medical centers and staff,

and national key opinion leaders; and when appropriate the MSL will
assist with the identification of potential clinical investigators.
The Medical Science Liaison will collaborate with other field-based
personnel to ensure that Jazz maintains a strong clinical and
scientific presence in the field. The Medical Science Liaison
