ITEM 8.01         OTHER EVENTS

On March 16, 2005, as a result of technical inadvertence by a financial printer,
a draft document captioned "Annual Report Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004" on
Form 10-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on behalf of
Celgene Corporation (the "Company"). The Company intends to request withdrawal
of such filing as soon as possible. Nothing in such filing should be relied upon
in any respect. The Company intends to file a fully reviewed Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 in the next several days.
