Presently there are about 78,030,000 AVXL shares in trade. I’ll presume that that number won’t change by the time blarcamesine is approved for sale and Alzheimer’s treatment therapy
Would it not be practical to assume anywhere from 10% to 20% increase in the share count - for various reasons, unless you are assuming that AVXL gets approval for AD this year?
PRICING (From our competition) Acadia announced on their webcast that the list price of DAYBUE is $21.10 per mL. That comes to $9,495 per 450 mL bottle. Given the dosage included in the prescribing information, cost per patient, depending on weight, will be between $385,075 and $924,180 per year. Acadia has not yet announced if there will be discounts or rebates on pricing.
KEY SUMMARY FACTS OF LAVENDERTM AND LILAC-1 TRIALS
61% of patients taking DAYBUE did not improve 13% of patients were rated as “much improved” No data are provided regarding which specific symptoms improve 85% of patients treated with DAYBUE had diarrhea and 29% had vomiting In the study where everyone received DAYBUE, 46% of patients withdrew before completing the study
TROFINETIDE DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
Trofinetide is the chemical name for DAYBUE. Based upon efficacy in a rat model for traumatic brain injury (TBI), a clinical trial with trofinetide for treatment of TBI was initiated in 2008. In that study, trofinetide was administered intravenously. It did not demonstrate efficacy for treating TBI.
Trofinetide was then re-formulated as an oral solution and tested in individuals with concussion, Rett syndrome and Fragile X syndrome. DAYBUE’s official prescribing information states that its “mechanism of action” is unknown. This means that how DAYBUE produces an effect in Rett syndrome is not known. Although there is a publication reporting the efficacy of trofinetide in a Fragile X mouse model, there are currently no publications evaluating the efficacy of trofinetide in any animal model of Rett.
DAYBUE has been previously tested in a number of clinical trials in individuals with Rett syndrome. A clinical trial in adults (initiated in 2012) and a clinical trial in pediatrics (initiated in 2016) assessed its safety and tolerability.
The FDA approval of DAYBUE is based on the LavenderTM clinical trial, which began in 2019. In the prescribing information the trial is referred to as Study 1.
As shown in the table above, the LavenderTM trial had two primary clinical outcome assessments: RSBQ and CGI-I. A clinical outcome assessment aims to reflect how a patient feels, functions, or survives. Both the RSBQ and CGI-I are scales that require caregivers and clinicians to interpret how their child and patient are doing and are therefore subjective by nature.
WHAT IS THE RSBQ?
The Rett Syndrome Behavioral Questionnaire (RSBQ) is a 45-item survey that assesses behavioral and emotional characteristics of Rett.
Here are some examples of symptom statements included in the RSBQ.
Her breathing is sometimes deep and fast (hyperventilation). Spells of screaming for no apparent reason during the day. There are certain days/periods where she performs much worse than usual. Has frequent naps during the day. Expressionless face. Bright wide-open eyes. There are times when she is irritable for no apparent reason. Rocks self when hands are prevented from moving.
That does not even consider whether sales figures are plausible for all of Pharma let alone Anavex. You seem to assume Anavex "corners the Market" for even those estimates of TOTAL US sales.
Your presumption is quite presumptuous! While I certainly would love to see your presumption become reality, IMO there is 0.0000000001% chance of that happening (and my odds are that high only because you can never say never)...
You mean to tell me I'm going to hold some AVXL shares all this time until this projected revenue starts pouring in, and then I'm only going to realize a lousy share price of $858.64 (which will be equal to just 1x sales based upon a 78M O/S)? Oh man, that is disappointing... JWC3 - where you at???
