From Platform to Product Company
Platforms build on creative new ideas that can be broadly
applied in drug development
Platform companies struggle because their value is determined
by ultimate product success
Result:
Companies disappear or the value of their platform is
not maximized (few disease areas only)
Result:
Fewer patients get the benefit from use of the innovation
Result: Reduced shareholder value due to under-utilized
platform
How Patients have Suffered in the Transition

Platform Technologies & Novel Therapeutics
Challenge:
Evolve from a Platform-based Company into a Product-
based Company while preserving the total value and
potential of the Company.
Solution:
Identify innovative ways to capitalize on portions of the
platform outside the Company’s strategic core focus in
order to broaden the development of and access to novel
therapeutics for patients and physicians, while building
shareholder value.
