Ladiratuzumab vedotin is a Monoclonal Antibody Conjugated owned by Seagen, and is involved in 4 clinical trials, which are ongoing.

Ladiratuzumab vedotin (SGN-LIV1A) is an antibody-drug conjugate that targets LIV-1 (a zinc transporter), which is expressed in most subtypes of metastatic breast cancer. Zinc is essential for normal cell growth and is tightly controlled in cells by two families of zinc transporters. The aberrant expression of zinc transporters from the LIV-1 family of ZIP (Zrt/Irt-like protein) transporters is implicated in breast cancer. Upon internalization by LIV-1-positive tumor cells, anti-LIV-1 antibody-drug conjugate SGN-LIV1A undergoes enzymatic cleavage to release MMAE into the cytosol. MMAE binds to and inhibits tubulin polymerization, which may result in G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in LIV-1-expressing tumor cells.

The revenue for Ladiratuzumab vedotin is expected to reach a total of $356m 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.

Ladiratuzumab vedotin Overview

Ladiratuzumab vedotin (SGN-LIV1A) is under development for the treatment of HR positive metastatic breast cancer, HER2 positive and negative metastatic breast cancer, LIV-1-positive metastatic triple negative breast cancer, small-cell lung cancer, squamous non-small cell lung cancer, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma gastric cancer, adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and malignant melanoma. It is administered through the intravenous route. The drug candidate is an antibody-drug conjugate which is comprised of an anti-LIV-1 monoclonal antibody linked to a synthetic cell-killing agent called monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). The drug candidate is developed based on antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology. It was also under development for the treatment of cervical cancer.

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, potential applicable patients, drug margins, company expenses, and pricing estimates. 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 rNPV, 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.
