Mitiperstat is a small molecule commercialized by AstraZeneca, with a leading Phase III program in Diastolic Heart Failure. According to Globaldata, it is involved in 14 clinical trials, of which 8 were completed, 4 are ongoing, and 2 were terminated. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of Mitiperstat’s valuation in its risk-adjusted NPV model (rNPV). Buy the model here.

The revenue for Mitiperstat is expected to reach an annual total of $11 mn by 2034 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.

Mitiperstat Overview

Mitiperstat is under development for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with fibrosis, diastolic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction. It is a small molecule administered through oral route as a coated tablet, solution and suspension. AZD-4831 acts by targeting myeloperoxidase (MPO). The drug candidate is a new molecular entity (NME).

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.
