ARGX-117 Overview

ARGX-117 (PRO-02) is under development for the prevention of ischemia-reperfusion damage and antibody-mediated diseases like autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) following organ transplantation. It is administered through the intravenous route. It acts by targeting complement C2 cascade. The therapeutic candidate is a monoclonal antibody equipped with Argenx’s proprietary Fc engineering technology NHance. It is also under development for the treatment of multifocal motor neuropathy and kidney diseases. It was also under development for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients.

GlobalData

GlobalData, the leading provider of industry intelligence, provided the underlying data, research, and analysis used to produce this article.

To create this model, GlobalData takes into account factors including patent law, known and projected regulatory approval processes, cash flows, drug margins and company expenses. Combining these data points with GlobalData’s world class analysis creates high value models that companies can use to help in evaluation processes for each drug or company.

The rNPV method integrates the probability of a drug reaching a clinical stage into the cash flow at that time, which provides a more accurate valuation, as it considers the probability that the drug never makes it through the clinical pathway to commercialization. GlobalData’s rNPV model uses proprietary likelihood of approval (LoA) and phase transition success rate (PTSR) data for the indication in the highest development stage, which can be found on GlobalData’s Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center.
