Prasinezumab is a Monoclonal Antibody owned by Prothena Corp, and is involved in 5 clinical trials, of which 4 were completed, and 1 is ongoing.

Prasinezumab is an alpha-synuclein monoclonal antibody. Alpha-synuclein normally in an unstructured soluble form found almost exclusively in the nucleus of brain neurons. Alpha-synuclein is involved in neuronal plasticity and could act as a molecular chaperone. In synucleinopathies, the synuclein protein misfolds and aggregates to form insoluble fibrils that contribute to the pathology of the disease. Antibodies targeting alpha-synuclein might slow down or reduce the neurodegeneration associated with synuclein misfolding and/or transmission.

The revenue for Prasinezumab is expected to reach a total of $346m 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 Prasinezumab NPV Report.

Prasinezumab was originated by Prothena Biosciences and is currently owned by Prothena Corp. F. Hoffmann-La Roche is the other company associated in development or marketing of Prasinezumab.

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.
