PP405 price & availability, what to expect (timeline/market)
PP405 just cleared a meaningful early hurdle: Pelage announced positive Phase 2a topline results, and the company says it plans to move into later stage studies.
Below I make straightforward predictions, with the reasoning behind each.
Availability , year prediction (best estimate):
- Base case: 2028-2029. Pelage plans Phase 3 starts in 2026; a typical Phase 3 program plus regulatory review for a topical small molecule often runs 18-36 months before approval and commercial launch, putting a realistic earliest broad availability around 2028, more likely 2029.
- Optimistic: late 2027-2028, if Phase 3 is fast, endpoints are clear, and regulators fast track the filing.
- Conservative: 2030+, if more trials are needed or manufacturing/label negotiations slow things down.
Price , predicted retail range (monthly)
No official price exists yet, and caution is warranted because third party sellers already hawk unregulated “PP405” serums online. Treat those listings skeptically.
Projected pricing scenarios, anchored to comparable prescription dermatology and specialty topicals:
- Mass market outcome (competitive pricing): $30-$120 per month, similar to established over the counter topicals if Pelage pursues broad access.
- Specialty prescription outcome (more likely initially): $150-$600 per month, reflecting a branded, clinic dispensed topical with limited competition and higher R&D recoupment.
- Premium/limited supply outcome: $600-$1,500+ per month, if PP405 becomes a clinic administered specialty therapy or is adopted as an adjunct to surgical options; some forums already hint consumers would pay transplant level prices for a true cure.
Bottom line: PP405 looks promising, but real world availability and pricing depend on Phase 3 outcomes, regulatory decisions, and Pelage’s go to market strategy. My best single number prediction: expect general availability around 2029, with a likely introductory monthly cost in the $150-$600 band until competition or generics push it down. Monitor Pelage’s official updates for exact timing and pricing.
