Case Study  ·  Pipeline Landscape

Spotting the next assets in neurodegeneration.

A global biopharma company wanted to advance its pipeline in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Prescouter mapped more than 1000 small-molecule programs and built a framework that flagged over 30 likely peri-IND programs worth a closer look.

The Client

The client is a global biopharma company. It wanted to explore strategic opportunities across neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

The Challenge

A crowded field.
Find the ready assets.

The client needed a comprehensive view of small-molecule assets across Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, from discovery to approval, with a sharp focus on programs nearing an Investigational New Drug filing.

  • Scope

    Discovery to approval

    Every stage of development.

  • Readiness

    Peri-IND focus

    Programs nearing IND submission.

  • Deals

    Acquisition targets

    Assets to partner with or buy.

Our Approach

A full landscape and a readiness framework.

Landscape construction
1000+programs mapped

Map every stage

We covered development status, mechanism of action and positioning for programs across both diseases.

IND readiness system
3readiness categories

Score readiness

Preclinical programs were classed as likely peri-IND, adjacent to IND or exploratory assets.

Asset identification
30+likely peri-IND programs

Flag near-term assets

We found over 30 likely peri-IND programs beyond those already marked as IND-ready.

The Outcome

From 1000+ programs to a focused shortlist.

Prescouter delivered landscapes covering more than 1000 Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s programs and identified over 30 likely peri-IND programs, those nearing IND submission within 18 months. It also highlighted potential strategic partners, equipping the client to optimize pipeline development and pursue external innovation.

  • Near term

    Likely peri-IND assets

    IND submission within 18 months.

  • Mid term

    Adjacent to IND

    IND readiness within 3 years.

  • Framework

    A dynamic system

    Adapts as priorities evolve.

In a crowded therapeutic area, timing matters as much as mechanism. A clear view of IND readiness shows which assets are worth a conversation now.
