Berdazimer Sodium is a small molecule commercialized by Novan, with a leading Pre-Registration program in Molluscum Contagiosum. According to Globaldata, it is involved in 7 clinical trials, which were completed. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of Berdazimer Sodium’s valuation in its risk-adjusted NPV model (rNPV). Buy the model here.

The revenue for Berdazimer Sodium is expected to reach an annual total of $191 mn by 2033 globally 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.

Berdazimer Sodium Overview

SB-206 is under development for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum caused by the molluscipoxvirus and Genital Warts (Condylomata Acuminata).The drug candidate is applied topically as gel.

It is a nitric oxide-releasing anti-viral new chemical entity. It is developed based on NITRICIL technology delivering nitric oxide by storing the gaseous species on large polymers that result in timed-release of nitric oxide. It was also under development for the treatment of HPV associated sexually transmitted infection (HPV 16 & 18) and perianal warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV 6 & 11).

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.
