Diazepam is a Small Molecule owned by Bausch Health Companies, and is involved in 1 clinical trial, which was completed.

Diazepam enhances the neuro-inhibitory actions of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) through positive allosteric modulation of GABAA receptors. As GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, this results in increased inhibition of the ascending reticular activating system. Thus diazepam potentiate GABAergic transmission, thus increasing the frequency of chloride channel opening, resulting influx of chloride ions causes hyperpolarisation of the neuron. The sedative, anxiolytic, anti-convulsant and muscle relaxant properties are obtained after the collection of these neuro-inhibitory effects.

The revenue for Diazepam is expected to reach a total of $275m 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 uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of this assessment in their Diazepam NPV Report.

Diazepam is currently owned by Bausch Health Companies.

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.
