Frank Baldino Jr. (May 13, 1953 – December 16, 2010) was an American pharmacologist and scientist who was one of the co-founders of the pharmaceutical firm Cephalon, a company that was formed in 1987 and had grown to annual sales of $2.8 billion and net income of $425 million in 2010.
After leaving DuPont, Baldino co-founded Cephalon in 1987 at the age of 33. Its best known product has been modafinil, which the firm markets under the brand name Provigil, which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in treating narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, and excessive daytime sleepiness resulting from sleep apnea, though the FDA has held off on approving its use for treating jet lag. In marketing Provigil, Baldino emphasized that “there are no warts on this drug” and the product became a best seller for its off-label use by individuals seeking to maintain alertness and combat fatigue without the side effects of caffeine and amphetamines, with off-label uses accounting for 90% of sales by 2004. The current market size of Provigil is over US$1,120 million in 2010 while Nuvigil is expected to reach revenue of US$700 million by 2013 . Baldino said that his “only question is how big we can make it”. Brenda D. Gavin of Quaker Bio Ventures credited Baldino as one of the “really, really rare” people who were able to found a company and then build it over the years as its chief executive.
