Ebopiprant is a Small Molecule owned by Organon, and is involved in 4 clinical trials, of which 2 were completed, 1 is ongoing, and 1 is planned.

OBE-022 acts by antagonizing Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2a) receptors. The receptor belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor family. Activation and stimulation of myometrium leads to increased uterine contractility. The drug candidate by blocking PGF2a receptors provides tocolytic effect for women in preterm labour to postpone the premature birth.

The revenue for Ebopiprant is expected to reach a total of $236m 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. View the complete picture with the Ebopiprant NPV Report.

Ebopiprant was originated by Merck and is currently owned by Organon. ObsEva is the other company associated in development or marketing of Ebopiprant.

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.
