Description of Business Description of Business
Myovant Sciences Ltd. (or together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company) is a healthcare company focused on developing innovative treatments for women’s health and prostate cancer. The Company is developing a relugolix combination tablet (relugolix 40 mg plus estradiol 1.0 mg and norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg) for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids and for pain associated with endometriosis, relugolix 120 mg as a monotherapy for advanced prostate cancer, and an additional product candidate, MVT-602, an oligopeptide kisspeptin-1 receptor agonist, for the treatment of female infertility as part of assisted reproduction. Both relugolix and MVT-602 were licensed to the Company by Takeda Pharmaceuticals International AG, or Takeda, on April 29, 2016.
The Company is an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda in February 2016 under the name Roivant Endocrinology Ltd. The Company changed its name to Myovant Sciences Ltd. in May 2016. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to identifying and in-licensing its product candidates, organizing and staffing the Company, raising capital, preparing for and advancing the clinical development of its product candidates, and preparing for potential future regulatory approvals and commercialization of relugolix.
The Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant operating losses and negative operating cash flows as it continues to develop its product candidates and prepares for potential future regulatory approvals and commercialization of relugolix. To date, the Company has not generated any revenue, and it does not expect to generate revenue unless and until it successfully completes development and obtains regulatory approval for at least one of its product candidates.
