MIGENIX likes to pick up compounds after they've been discovered, and shepherd them through to late-stage clinical development. After that point, the company is happy to license them out and hopefully reap the benefits. MIGENIX has partnered with Cadence Pharmaceuticals to shoulder the cost of putting its omiganan gel through Phase III clinical trials for use in preventing catheter-related infections. Cutanea Life Sciences holds the rights to develop omiganan as an acne treatment. Other clinical and pre-clinical drug candidates in the company's pipeline include potential treatments for Hepatitis B and C, blood infections, and neuro-degenerative diseases.

Millennium Pharmaceuticals wants to be "the" drug company for the new millennium. Its cancer drug Velcade is approved as a treatment for multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (or MCL, an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma).
