Novartis said it had 139 projects in clinical development including more than 73 new molecular entities spread across a wide area of diseases, in a statement published ahead of an investor event in Boston later on Thursday.

Among the products it hails as its most promising are serelaxin and LCZ686 to treat patients with heart failure as well as drugs for psoriasis and multiple sclerosis.

Novartis said it plans to file serelaxin for regulatory approval in the United States and Europe in early 2013.
