- Sepranolone: Formulation development is complete, and the pre-filled syringe delivery system is being finalized. The therapy is a synthetic isoallopregnanolone targeting disorders linked to excess GABAergic activity.
- Over 335 patients have been treated with sepranolone in clinical trials to date with an excellent safety profile.
- NDV-01 is encompassed by multiple patent applications that could provide protection until 2047 if issued.
Market and Competitive Landscape
- NMIBC represents 75-80% of all bladder cancer cases with high recurrence rates (50–80% over 5 years) and limited treatment options for high-risk BCG-unresponsive disease.
- The market includes over 744,000 prevalent cases in the U.S.
- Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) has a global prevalence estimated at 350,000-400,000 patients.
