(Cedazuridine + decitabine) is a Small Molecule owned by Otsuka Pharmaceutical, and is involved in 33 clinical trials, of which 3 were completed, 27 are ongoing, and 3 are planned.

ASTX-727 acts as hypomethylating agent (HMA). Decitabine incorporates into DNA and inhibits DNA methyltransferase-1 which results in hypomethylation of DNA and intra-S-phase arrest of DNA replication. E-7727 acts as cytidine deaminase inhibitor. Cytidine deaminase (CDA) is an enzyme that is responsible for the degradation of nucleosides, including decitabine. E-7727 by inhibiting CDA, inhibits degradation of decitabine. Decitabine induced hypomethylation in neoplastic cells restores normal function to genes that are critical for the control of cellular differentiation and proliferation.

The revenue for (Cedazuridine + decitabine) is expected to reach a total of $1.5bn 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.
