Investment summary

Having exercised its option to co-promote Alpharadin, Algeta is set to enter the commercialisation process with Bayer on a 50/50 basis in the US. The project is on track to be filed with the FDA in mid-2012 – an event that will trigger a €50m milestone payment from Bayer. While the specific claims sought in the US label have yet to be confirmed, we believe that Alpharadin will become a standard of care in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Industry outlook

Algeta is the world leader in the development of alpha-pharmaceuticals. Interest around Alpharadin is growing after positive Phase III data and the approvals for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer of Dendreon's Provenge, Sanofi's Jevtana and J&J's Zytiga.
