ABSTRACT

CEO and President Adrian Adams described Auxilium Pharmaceuticals as "the same as a Big Pharma company, only smaller." This 'specialty biopharmaceutical company' has transformed itself in the last 6 to 9 months to become the "leading men's healthcare franchise with a broad and diverse product portfolio." All of this has led to a very busy 2013, which began with the USD 600 million acquisition (Q2) and integration of Actient Pharmaceuticals, the licensing of avanafil (Stendra™) for erectile dysfunction and ended with the approval of collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (Xiaflex®) in Peyronie's disease. From a portfolio of 2 products at the beginning of 2013, Auxilium ended the year with 12.
