Revenue for Tirbanibulin is expected to have a CAGR of 13.98% through 2038

Tirbanibulin is a Small Molecule owned by Athenex, and is involved in 23 clinical trials, of which 16 were completed, 6 are ongoing, and 1 is planned.

Tirbanibulin mesylate (KX01, KX2-391) inhibits Src kinase signaling and tubulin polymerization. Tubulin inhibitors act by perturbation of microtubule dynamics during the G2/M phase of cell division and subsequent entry into apoptosis. Src can be switched from an inactive to an active state through control of its phosphorylation state. Src kinase interacts with tyrosine kinase receptors, such as EGFR and the VEGF receptor and affect cell proliferation via the Ras/ERK/MAPK pathway. They regulate gene expression via transcription factors such as STAT molecules. SFKs can also affect cell adhesion and migration via interaction with integrins, actins, GTPase-activating proteins, scaffold proteins, such as p130(CAS) and paxillin, and kinases such as focal adhesion kinases. Inhibiting Src kinase, help in controlling malignant cell proliferation, angiogenesis, adhesion, invasion, motility, survival, and metastasis which may result in anti-cancer effect.

The revenue for Tirbanibulin is expected to reach a total of $2.2bn through 2038. This change impacts the valuation of this asset and is an important factor to understand the current value of the drug in a clinical process. View the complete picture with the Tirbanibulin NPV Report.

Tirbanibulin Overview

Tirbanibulin (Klisyri) acts as a anti-keratolytic agent. It is formulated as ointment for topical application. Klisyri is indicated for the treatment of actinic keratosis on the face or scalp. Klisyri is indicated for the treatment of non-hyperkeratotic, non-hypertrophic actinic keratosis of the face or scalp in adults.
Tirbanibulin (KX01, KX2-391) is under development for the treatment of acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), castration-resistant prostate cancer, actinic keratosis, psoriasis and solid tumors. It is administered orally and topically in the form of ointment and capsule. It is a small molecule and acts by targeting dual src/pretubulin. The drug candidate is based Mimetica and Optimized Photo-Affinity Labeling (Opal) platform.
It was also under development for the treatment of breast cancer, skin cancers, liver fibrosis, gastric cancer, liquid tumor, ovarian cancer and hormone refractory (castration resistant, androgen-independent) prostate cancer, acute myelocytic leukemia (AML, acute myeloblastic leukemia), solid tumor and  lymphoma.
