Vodobatinib for Parkinson’s disease
Program risks
Vodbatinib addresses a significant unmet need, but translation risks remain:
Translatability of animal models of Parkinson’s Disease;
Lack of validated target engagement markers;
Reproducibility of clinical Proof of Concept studies; and
PROSEEK clinical design addresses the translational challenges to the extent possible.
Expanding evaluation of Vodobatinib beyond early PD patients needs further validation;
PROSEEK patient population includes early PD patients that have not been treated with L-Dopa;
SPARC would explore initial registration in early, treatment naïve setting; and
Targeting additional patient sub-types in Parkinson’s Disease and other relevant disease areas would require additional time and investment.

Vodobatinib for Parkinson’s disease
Market risks
Biotechs’ approaching key data events attract significant speculative activity:
Exploitative or uninformed attempts to manufacture positive or negative outlook;
Significant risks in speculative trading involving uncertain data events; and
Investors who intend to ‘price-in’ Vodobatinib’s impact needs to do so after deliberate analysis of sales potential, costs, time to market and potential risks.
SPARC is committed to exploring targeted therapies for complex Neurodegenerative diseases:
SPARC will disclose the topline as soon as such information can be safely shared after full analysis and without compromising underlying data;
SPARC plans to continue exploration of Vodbatinib in PD and other relevant conditions based on data flow; and
We remain committed to exploring c-Abl inhibition, oxidative stress response modulation and other appropriately validated pathways to advance standards of care in neurodegenerative diseases.
