(Buprenorphine hydrochloride + naloxone hydrochloride) is a Small Molecule owned by Indivior, and is involved in 25 clinical trials, of which 21 were completed, 3 are ongoing, and 1 is planned.

Buprenorphine acts as a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptors and as an antagonist at the kappa-opioid receptors. The binding to the mu and kappa receptors results in hyper-polarization and reduces neuronal excitability. Naloxone hydrochloride is a thebaine derivate with potent antagonistic activity at mu-opioid receptors. It binds to receptors and produces opioid withdrawal signs and symptoms including analgesia, euphoria, sedation, physical dependence.

The revenue for (Buprenorphine hydrochloride + naloxone hydrochloride) is expected to reach a total of $220m through 2038. This change impacts the valuation of this asset and is an important factor to understand the current value of the drug in a clinical process.

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.
