NiCord is a cell therapy commercialized by Gamida Cell, with a leading Pre-Registration program in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. According to Globaldata, it is involved in 7 clinical trials, of which 5 were completed, and 2 are ongoing. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of NiCord’s valuation in its risk-adjusted NPV model (rNPV). Buy the model here.

The revenue for NiCord is expected to reach an annual total of $159 mn by 2035 globally 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.

NiCord Overview

Omidubicel (Nicord) is under development for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies including sickle cell disease, beta-thalassemia, aplastic anemia and hematological malignancies like chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and for the use in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The therapeutic candidate is administered as an infusion. It is an allogeneic ex-vivo-expanded umbilical cord blood-derived hematopoietic CD34 positive progenitor cells and allogeneic non-expanded umbilical cord blood-derived hematopoietic mature myeloid and lymphoid cells. The therapeutic candidate is developed based on NAM platform technology. It was also under development for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, acute myelocytic leukemia (AML).

Gamida Cell Overview

Gamida Cell (Gamida) is a health care company. It offers cell therapy developing cell and immune therapy technologies for treating blood cancers and serious blood disorders. Its pipeline products include Omidubicel an advanced cell therapy being developed as an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (bone marrow) transplant solution for treating hematologic malignancies and severe aplastic anemia; GDA-201 an innate natural killer cell immunotherapy used for the treatment of hematologic and solid tumors. Gamida utilizes NAM technology platform to develop its products. Gamida is headquartered in Jerusalem, Israel.

The operating loss of the company was US$87.2 million in FY2021, compared to an operating loss of US$60.9 million in FY2020. The net loss of the company was US$89.8 million in FY2021, compared to a net loss of US$61.6 million in FY2020.

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.
