GnRH agonist
The GnRH agonist developed by Cairo University is currently marketed, positioning it as an established player in its therapeutic segment. A key strength of this drug is its patent protection, which extends until 2028, providing a significant period of exclusivity. The primary risk lies in the lack of disclosed revenue data and key trial results, which may limit investor confidence and market valuation.
