Toujeo LA is a Recombinant Protein owned by Sanofi, and is involved in 34 clinical trials, of which 31 were completed, and 3 are ongoing.

Insulin glargine is a recombinant human insulin analog that binds to insulin receptor (IR) in the regulation of glucose metabolism. It lowers blood glucose levels by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake especially by skeletal muscle and fat mediated through the facilitative glucose transporter Glut4. Insulin inhibits hepatic glucose production, lipolysis in the adipocyte, inhibits proteolysis, and enhances protein synthesis.

The revenue for Toujeo LA is expected to reach a total of $21.4bn 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 Toujeo LA NPV Report.

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.
