Focused on
Understanding
the problem
At Myovant, the diseases we are focused on affect millions of people, often in their most productive years. We are on a mission to combine science, medicine, and advocacy to improve the lives of people suffering from uterine fibroids, endometriosis, prostate cancer, or infertility. We believe the first step to progress is understanding the problem.
Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine myomas or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous tumors that develop in the muscle of the uterus. Uterine fibroids may cause debilitating symptoms such as heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding, anemia, and pelvic pain.
Estrogen drives uterine fibroids
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining is found outside the uterine cavity, commonly in the lower abdomen or pelvis. Endometriosis may cause debilitating symptoms such as dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain), non-menstrual pelvic pain, and dyspareunia (painful intercourse).
Estrogen drives endometriosis
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a potentially lethal disease that starts in the prostate gland in men. Most prostate cancer is diagnosed while men are asymptomatic. Symptoms of metastatic prostate cancer may include weight loss, bone pain, fatigue, and urinary symptoms.
Testosterone drives prostate cancer
Infertility
Infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant after 12 months of regular intercourse without use of contraception. Causes of infertility include ovulatory disorders, endometriosis, and abnormal sperm.
Our mission
We exist to redefine care for women and for men with purpose-driven science, empowering medicines, and transformative advocacy.
