Promising early results from the C4X Discovery (C4XD) collaboration, initiated in May 2018, highlight the flexibility of e-therapeutics’ network-driven drug discovery (NDD) approach, and its applicability to drug discovery for complex diseases. NDD analysis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) associated genes identified both known and potential new biological mechanisms. This is a first demonstration of the ability of the NDD platform to extract insights from genomic data and link them to potential new targets and pathways for drug discovery. While further work is necessary to explore this more fully in PD (and other diseases), it could provide another facet to e-therapeutics’ business development discussions. We continue to value e-therapeutics at £53.8m (20.4p/share) and anticipate one or more NDD-based deals in the next 12 months.
