The revenue for Zorevunersen sodium is expected to reach an annual total of $169 mn by 2035 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.
Zorevunersen sodium Overview
Zorevunersen sodium (STK-001) is under development for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. It is administered via intrathecal route. It is developed based on targeted augmentation of nuclear gene output (TANGO) technology, RNA splicing. The therapeutic candidate increases productive SCN1 mRNA and consequently restore levels of Nav1.1 protein.
Stoke Therapeutics Overview
Stoke Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the development of RNA-based medicines to address the underlying causes of severe diseases. The company’s main activity focuses on the use of its proprietary research platform, targeted augmentation of nuclear gene output (TANGO), to upregulate protein expression and restore missing proteins. The company’s lead clinical program focuses on Dravet syndrome, a severe and progressive genetic epilepsy. Stoke’s products are primarily aimed at patients suffering from severe diseases caused by genetic mutations.

The gold standard of business intelligence.
Blending expert knowledge with cutting-edge technology, GlobalData’s unrivalled proprietary data will enable you to decode what’s happening in your market. You can make better informed decisions and gain a future-proof advantage over your competitors.
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.
