OrgaNext is a Dutch pharmaceutical company established in 2007 with no marketed products as of 2015.[2] The company was founded by Marjanne Prins, who also serves as the chief executive officer.[2] As of the end of 2014, the company had four employees, all former employees of Organon International who left the company when it was acquired by Schering-Plough in 2007.[2] The focus of the company is the development of a treatment for age-related muscle atrophy, specifically a "low-dose, short-term Recovery Booster therapy, a combination of nandrolone decanoate and Vitamin D3 (NDD)" for administration to victims of hip fractures.[1][2] In 2011, the company received a WIPO patent for a general treatment for "frailty" of which NDD was a specific instance.[3]

OrgaNext was established with seed financing of US$3,200,000 and was seeking, as of late 2014, an infusion of US$31,000,000 through Series A and Series B venture capital funds.[2]
