Flash note: US partner on board ahead of PDUFA date
Commercial partner, Zambon, has announced a sublicence agreement with US WorldMeds for the US commercialisation of Parkinson’s disease (PD) therapy Xadago (safinamide). Under the agreement’s terms Zambon will give Newron a share of undisclosed, upfront milestone and royalty payments made by US WorldMeds, in addition to a milestone payment on FDA approval (we estimate €9m, not included in our forecasts). Importantly Xadago’s US PDUFA date is looming (29 March 2016) and a positive decision will clearly bode well for Newron’s share price. Our valuation of Newron remains unchanged at CHF504m or CHF35.5/share.Newron Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company. Co. is focused on the development of drugs for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain. Co.'s pipeline include, Xadago® (safinamide), for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and PD Levodopa-induced dyskinesia; Sarizotan, for the treatment of Rett syndrome (Orphan drug status); Evenamide (NW-3509), for the treatment of Schizophrenia and Clozapine-treatment-resistant schizophrenia; and Ralfinamide for patients with specific rare pain indications (neuropathic pain).
