Medivir focuses on cancers of high unmet medical need, where existing therapies are not very successful and there is a great opportunity to provide real benefit to patients with few treatment options.
Medivir conducts clinical development in order to on its own, or through partnerships or out-licensing agreements, bring its candidate drugs to market approval. To do this efficiently and with a high success rate, we bring together a unique combination of clinical development skills, a collaborative culture and an extensive industry experience with a balanced project portfolio.
