Medivation was founded by a group of experienced professionals with a long track record of working together successfully as a team in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. We founded Medivation to leverage that expertise to bridge the medical product development gap between early-stage development and product launch.

Through our extensive network of contacts with top-flight scientists and research institutions, we acquire early-development stage pharmaceuticals and medical devices that have promising clinical, intellectual property and commercial prospects. Using the extensive development experience and expertise of our core team, supplemented by expert consultants in relevant functions, we identify and execute the strategic pathway that will allow the most rapid, efficient and effective development.

Our business strategy is straightforward:

• Build a portfolio of four to six product candidates that have the potential to be in clinical development within 12 to 18 months after acquisition
• Develop those product candidates as rapidly and efficiently as possible
• Consider selling or partnering successful programs to large pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device companies for late-stage clinical studies and commercialization or, depending on the indication, conduct those activities internally.

Our current product development programs address lucrative markets with significant unmet medical needs. These include:

• Dimebon™ for Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s disease
• MDV3100 for hormone-refractory prostate cancer
