Medivation's acquisition journey began in 2016 when Pfizer acquired the company for $14 billion. This marked a significant milestone in the company's history.
Pfizer's acquisition of Medivation was a strategic move to expand its portfolio of cancer treatments. The acquisition allowed Pfizer to gain access to Medivation's flagship product, Xtandi, which was a key driver of the company's growth.
Xtandi's success was largely due to its ability to treat prostate cancer, a disease that affects millions of men worldwide. The medication's effectiveness in slowing the progression of the disease made it a valuable asset for Pfizer.
The acquisition had a significant financial impact on Pfizer, with the company reporting a net income of $15.9 billion in 2016, a 35% increase from the previous year.

Acquisitions

Medivation's pipeline isn't very big, but it's promising, with talazoparib in a later-stage trial for advanced breast cancer patients who have BRCA mutations.
The combination of Xtandi and talazoparib could be a uniquely value-added combination in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Pfizer believes the acquisition will build upon its success with Ibrance and its strong immuno-oncology portfolio, and transform Pfizer into a leading oncology company.
Pfizer Acquires Sanofi for $14 Billion
Pfizer just made a huge acquisition deal for $14 billion, buying out Medivation.
Medivation's Xtandi is a top-selling cancer treatment, with U.S. sales exceeding $1 billion in 2015 alone.
The deal is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2016, with Pfizer offering $81.50 per share for all outstanding Medivation common stock.
Medivation's pipeline includes promising treatments for blood cancers, such as Pidiluzumab in mid-stage trials, and talazoparib in a later-stage trial for advanced breast cancer patients with BRCA mutations.
Talazoparib has the potential to be a game-changer in the treatment of prostate cancer, especially when combined with Xtandi.
Pfizer's Ibrance and Xtandi will give the company leadership in two hormone-driven cancers, prostate and breast cancer.
