The revenue for Bemarituzumab is expected to reach an annual total of $432 mn by 2037 in the US based off GlobalData’s Expiry Model. The drug’s revenue forecasts along with estimated costs are used to measure the value of an investment opportunity in that drug, otherwise known as net present value (NPV). Applying the drug’s phase transition success rate to remaining R&D costs and likelihood of approval (LoA) to sales related costs provides a risk-adjusted NPV model (rNPV). The rNPV model is a more conservative valuation measure that accounts for the risk of a drug in clinical development failing to progress.
Bemarituzumab Overview
Bemarituzumab [FPA-144] is under development for the treatment of solid tumors such as gastric cancer, gastroesophageal cancer, transitional cell carcinoma, lymphoma, bladder cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, fallopian tube cancer, peritoneal cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, triple-negative breast cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, ovarian epithelial cell carcinoma, endometrial adenocarcinoma and cervical carcinoma. The drug candidate is administered through intravenous route. It is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against a splice form of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2). It is a targeted immunotherapy for FGFR2b-overexpressing tumors and designed to recruit tumor-killing NK cells into the tumor microenvironment. The drug candidate is developed based on Potelligent CHOK1SV technology. Potelligent CHOK1SV, combines the advantages of GS Gene Expression System with the glyco-engineered technology.
It was also under development for the treatment of breast cancer and squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

The gold standard of business intelligence.
Blending expert knowledge with cutting-edge technology, GlobalData’s unrivalled proprietary data will enable you to decode what’s happening in your market. You can make better informed decisions and gain a future-proof advantage over your competitors.
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.
