Vincerinone is a small molecule commercialized by PTC Therapeutics, with a leading Phase III program in Epilepsy. According to Globaldata, it is involved in 24 clinical trials, of which 15 were completed, 7 are ongoing, 1 is planned, and 1 was terminated. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of Vincerinone’s valuation in its risk-adjusted NPV model (rNPV). Buy the model here.

The revenue for Vincerinone is expected to reach an annual total of $74 mn by 2032 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.

Vincerinone Overview

Vatiquinone (EPI-743) is under development for the treatment of Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome, Friedreich ataxia, inherited mitochondrial disorders including Leigh syndrome, Alpers syndrome, mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), myoclonic epilepsy with ragged-red fibers (MERRF), pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6 (PCH6), or other mitochondrial disease, mitochondrial diseases and refractory epilepsy. It is administered orally. It is a small molecule that readily crosses into the central nervous system. It works by targeting the enzyme NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase. It was also under development for the treatment of Rett syndrome, Melas syndrome, Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy and mitochondrial diseases such as Pearson syndrome, a form of mitochondrial myopathy and Tourette syndrome. It was under development for the treatment of cobalamin C deficiency syndrome (methylmalonic acidemia), RARS2 syndrome, Parkinson's disease, metabolic disease (disorders of energy utilization or oxidation-reduction),Leigh's disease in children and noise-induced hearing loss.

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.
