- Kerrisdale believes that Prothena's lead drug NEOD001 will fail in its current Phase 2b and Phase 3 trials

NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Kerrisdale Capital, a private investment manager, has published a negative report explaining its short position in Prothena Corporation PLC (PRTA), a $2.4 billion development-stage biotechnology company whose valuation is primarily based on lead drug candidate NEOD001, an antibody currently in trials to treat AL amyloidosis. Prothena's stock price has increased over 700% since its spin-off from Elan in 2012 despite no evidence that its principal asset NEOD001 works. Kerrisdale believes that NEOD001 is a poorly-understood drug that will fail its Phase 2b and Phase 3 trials.
