About Elan Corp. plc

Elan Corporation, plc operates as a neuroscience-based biotechnology company.

Segments

The company operates in two segments, BioNeurology and Elan Drug Technologies (EDT).

BIONEUROLOGY

The BioNeurology segment engages in the research, development, and commercial activities primarily in the areas of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), Crohn’s disease, and severe chronic pain.

Beta amyloid immunotherapies (AIP)

Beta amyloid immunotherapy pioneered by the company’s scientists involves the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease by inducing or enhancing the body’s immune response to clear toxic species of beta amyloid from the brain. The AIP includes bapineuzumab and ACC-001, as well as other compounds.

Bapineuzumab is an experimental humanized monoclonal antibody delivered intravenously that is being studied as a treatment for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Bapineuzumab is thought to bind to and clear beta amyloid peptide in the brain. It is designed to provide antibodies to beta amyloid directly to the patient (passive immunotherapy).

In 2009, Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy (Janssen AI) acquired all of the assets and rights related to its AIP collaboration with Wyeth (which has been acquired by Pfizer).

ELND005, an Aâ aggregation inhibitor

The company has a worldwide collaboration with Transition for the joint development and commercialization of a therapeutic agent for Alzheimer’s disease. ELND005 is in a Phase 2 clinical study, AD201.

Secretase inhibitors

Gamma secretase: Gamma secretase is a multi-protein complex that is required to produce beta amyloid. The company’s development program for ELND006, a small molecule gamma secretase inhibitor, continues to progress through Phase 1 clinical studies, with additional gamma secretase inhibitor programs advancing in late stages of preclinical development.

In addition to its internal gamma secretase programs, the company also retains certain rights to Eli Lilly and Company’s (Lilly) LY450139 compound, which arose from collaborative research between it and Lilly. In 2008, Lilly initiated Phase 3 trials for LY450319 for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

Beta secretase: Beta secretase, sometimes called BACE (for Beta-site of APP Cleaving Enzyme), is believed to initiate the first step in the formation of beta amyloid, the precursor to plaque development in the brain.

Small Molecule (p75) Ligands

In 2009, the company entered into collaboration with PharmatrophiX, a biotechnology company focused on the development of small molecule ligands for growth factor receptors relevant to neurological disorders. It is working with PharmatrophiX on continued research on all p75 ligands, compounds that mimic the activity of neurotrophins by interacting with neurons that are susceptible to loss in Alzheimer’s disease, for neurologic indications. LM11A-31, which is the lead compound in the PharmatrophiX portfolio, interacts with and potentially protects neurons that are susceptible to loss in Alzheimer’s disease.

Parkinson’s Research

The company’s scientific approach and clinical development pipeline in Alzheimer’s disease encompass four programs, including the beta amyloid aggregation inhibitor ELND005, secretase inhibitors and small molecule (p75) ligands.

Alpha-synuclein is a protein genetically linked to Parkinson’s disease and a key component in degenerating neurons in brain regions controlling movement. The company’s scientists have made significant scientific progress in identifying unusual modified forms of alpha-synuclein in human Parkinson’s disease brain tissue.

The company is also studying parkin, a protein found in the brain that, like alpha-synuclein, has been genetically linked to Parkinson’s disease. Parkin may be involved in the elimination of misfolded proteins within neurons, and has demonstrated neuroprotective capabilities in cells. Its study of the relationship between parkin activity and neurodegeneration is in the drug discovery stage.

Tysabri

Tysabri is a major therapeutic approach to MS. Tysabri, which is co-marketed by the company and Biogen Idec, is approved

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
