Due diligence on a series of investments in oncology and genetic diseases

Challenge:

A European investor required due diligence support to appraise the attractiveness of a series of potential investments. The technologies included a theranostic agent, a DNA damage response inhibitor and a virus-like drug conjugate all targeting solid tumors. As well as a biologic asset targeting iron metabolism for genetic diseases. 

Solution:

Our experts analyzed the available data packages for the four assets and conducted separate triage-level due diligences. These assessments addressed the following key questions for each opportunity:

• Is the target robust?
• Have others addressed the same target and if so, what can be learned?
• How differentiated is the asset?
• What’s the strength of the data so far?
• Is the trial design appropriate?
• Is the commercial opportunity “real” and substantive?
• What’s the competitive position and implications for value?
