Snapshot
- Overview – Acorda presents an attractive takeover target in 2018 with its streamlined CNS portfolio, including the company’s single forecasted revenue growth driver beyond July 2018 in Inbrija for Parkinson’s disease, potentially lucrative early-stage asset in CVT-427 for migraine, and promising proprietary ARCUS pulmonary delivery platform technology.
- Key themes – [1] Acorda’s total product revenue is set to dip to $300m in 2019 owing to generic erosion of Ampyra sales from July 2018, but then grow to $941m in 2027 due to fast uptake of Inbrija [2] Acorda’s late-stage investigational adjunctive treatment for symptoms of “off” periods in Parkinson’s disease, Inbrija, is its only forecasted sales driver beyond July 2018; clinical development of CVT-427 for acute migraine treatment is on hold while resources are focused on the Inbrija launch [3]Acorda will face significant pressure to put the company up for sale during 2018 due its sole forecasted revenue driver beyond July 2018.
- Q4 2017 – M&A is the key theme for Acorda, with multiple potentially interested neurology-focused players, including Biogen, UCB, AbbVie, Mitsubishi Tanabe, and Roche.
- Out to 2022 – After dropping to $300m in 2019 owing to generic competition for Ampyra in multiple sclerosis, total prescription pharmaceutical product sales are set to recover to reach $634m in 2022 due to fast uptake of Inbrija.
- Out to 2027 – Inbrija’s launch in Parkinson’s disease is set to drive total product revenue to $941m in 2027.
- Pipeline – Inbrija is Acorda’s only active investigational drug, with clinical development of its next most exciting pipeline asset, CVT-427 for migraine, on hold to focus resources on Inbrija’s US launch.
- Lifecycle – Acorda’s prolonged and expensive defense of Ampyra’s intellectual property is highly likely to ultimately fail, leaving all forecasted revenue beyond July 2018 in the company’s launch product Inbrija.
- Events – Tozadenant clinical development in Parkinson’s disease discontinued; SYN120 failed Phase II proof-of-concept study in Parkinson’s disease dementia; Inbrija launch expected in the US and EU in Q4 2018 and Q2 2019, respectively; Ampyra patent ruling to allow generic market entry in July 2018.
