Cevaretigene Ritoparvovec is a gene therapy commercialized by MeiraGTx, with a leading Phase II program in Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA). According to Globaldata, it is involved in 3 clinical trials, of which 1 was completed, 1 is ongoing, and 1 is planned. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of Cevaretigene Ritoparvovec’s valuation in its risk-adjusted NPV model (rNPV). Buy the model here.
The revenue for Cevaretigene Ritoparvovec is expected to reach an annual total of $75 mn by 2036 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.
Cevaretigene Ritoparvovec Overview
AAV-RPE65 is under development for the treatment of Leber congenital amaurosis type 2 (LCA2). The drug candidate contains adeno-associated virus (AAV)-OPTRPE65. It is administered by intraocular route (subretinal) and acts by targeting retinal pigment epithelium 65 (RPE 65). It is developed based on transformative gene regulation technology platform.
MeiraGTx Overview
MeiraGTx is a gene therapy company that develops treatments for ocular, salivary gland and central nervous system diseases. It is investigating AAV-RPGR program against X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP); AAV-RPE65 gene therapy to treat RPE65 (retinal pigment epithelium-specific 65 kDa) gene deficiency; AAV-CNGB3 drug for achromatopsia (ACHM); and A006 program targeting wet AMD (age-related macular degeneration). The company is also evaluating AAV-GAD medicine to treat Parkinson’s disease; AAV-UPF1 against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); AAV-AQP1 for radiation-induced xerostomia (RIX); and AAV-AQP1 program to treat xerostomia caused due to Sjogren’s syndrome. MeiraGTx is developing riboswitch inducible expression programs targeting ophthalmology and oncology indications, diabetes and metabolic disorders, among others. The company operates in the UK, and the Netherlands. MeiraGTx is headquartered in New York City, New York, the US.

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.
