The emergence of gene therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) represents a clear emerging threat. Specifically, Sarepta Therapeutics' Elevidys (delandistrogene moxeparvovec), which received accelerated approval from the FDA, offers a novel gene therapy approach to address the underlying genetic cause of DMD. This potentially disease-modifying treatment competes directly with PTC Therapeutics' existing DMD portfolio, including Translarna (ataluren) for nonsense mutation DMD and Emflaza (deflazacort) for all DMD patients. Gene therapy offers a fundamentally different and potentially more impactful treatment modality compared to PTC's small molecule and corticosteroid therapies, potentially eroding market share and long-term viability for these products by offering a superior and more comprehensive therapeutic option.

Below are the addressable markets for PTC Therapeutics' main products:

• Translarna (ataluren) and Emflaza (deflazacort) for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD):
  • The global Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treatment market across the seven major markets (7MM: US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Japan) was approximately $2.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $5.2 billion by 2033.
  • The United States is expected to account for 84.8% of the total DMD market share. In 2023, there were approximately 17,200 prevalent cases of DMD in the United States.
  • For Emflaza, PTC estimates an addressable market of approximately 10,000 DMD patients aged five years or older in the United States.
• Upstaza (eladocagene exuparvovec) for Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency:
  • AADC deficiency is classified as a "very rare disease." A specific addressable market size in USD for this product is not publicly available.
• Tegsedi (inotersen) for hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR):
  • The global patient population for hATTR ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 people.
  • North America holds the largest share in the Tegsedi market as of 2024. A specific numerical market size in USD is not publicly available in the provided search results.
• Waylivra (volanesorsen) for Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS) and hypertriglyceridemia:
  • The Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS) market size in the seven major markets (US, EU4, UK, Japan) was approximately $15 million in 2022.
  • Europe was the largest region in the Waylivra market in 2024. A specific global Waylivra market size in USD is not publicly available in the provided search results.
• Evrysdi (risdiplam) for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA):
  • Global sales for Evrysdi were over $1.7 billion in 2024. (PTC Therapeutics receives royalties from these sales, as Roche markets the product).
• Sephience (sepiapterin) for Phenylketonuria (PKU):
  • Sephience generated $19.6 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2025. A specific overall addressable market size in USD for PKU is not publicly available.

PTC Therapeutics (PTCT) is expected to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through several key areas:

1. Global Launch and Expansion of Sephience: The successful launch of Sephience (sepiapterin), an FDA-approved therapy for phenylketonuria (PKU), is a primary revenue driver. Sephience received a positive CHMP opinion in Europe, anticipating a broad label for all ages and PKU patients. The global launch, initiated in the US and Europe, has shown strong initial uptake, generating $19.6 million in revenue in Q3 2025. Analysts project Sephience sales could reach $500 million by 2026. Further market expansion is anticipated with ongoing marketing authorization reviews, including in Japan, expected in Q4 2025.
2. Continued Contribution from the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Franchise: PTC's DMD franchise, comprising Translarna and Emflaza, continues to be a significant revenue contributor. Despite the non-renewal of Translarna's conditional marketing authorization in the EU, PTC has secured agreements with several European countries to continue product supply, retaining approximately 25% of prior European revenue for the remainder of 2025. The DMD franchise generated $85.9 million in revenue in Q3 2025.
3. Roche Evrysdi Royalty Revenue: Royalty revenue from Evrysdi (risdiplam), a spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) treatment developed in collaboration with Roche, remains a steady source of income. Roche reported global sales of approximately $559 million in Q2 2025, contributing $58 million in royalty revenue to PTC. Q3 2025 royalty revenue from Evrysdi further increased to $70.8 million.
4. Advancement of PTC518 for Huntington's Disease: The progression of PTC518, an oral therapy for Huntington's disease (HD), through clinical development represents a future growth catalyst. The drug has demonstrated dose-dependent HTT reduction in Phase 2 trials. A significant licensing deal with Novartis, involving a $1 billion upfront payment and potential additional payments up to $1.9 billion tied to milestones, underscores its commercial potential. An FDA meeting for the Huntington's disease program is planned for Q4 2025, with potential approval by 2026 or 2027.
5. Global Commercialization of Upstaza: Upstaza (formerly GT-AADC), the first FDA-approved gene therapy for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency, is expected to contribute to revenue as PTC continues its global commercialization efforts. Upstaza is approved in both the United States (as Kebilidi) and the European Union.
