 PROFILE
Cephalon just wants a chance to get "a head" by helping others stay awake. The company (whose name comes from the Greek for "head") sells Provigil, a treatment for the sleep disorder narcolepsy licensed from Laboratoire L. Lafon. It markets the drug in Australia, Ireland, the UK, and the US. The company is trying to extend the drug's use for other sleep-related conditions, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Cephalon's drug development activities focus on neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease and ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), as well as cancer and sleep disorders. The firm also sells epilepsy treatment Gabitril and cancer pain medication Actiq.
