Afatinib dimaleate is under clinical development by Boehringer Ingelheim International and currently in Phase I for Bile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma). According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Bile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma) have an 87% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Afatinib dimaleate’s drug-specific PTSR and Likelihood of Approval (LoA) scores compare to the indication benchmarks. Buy the report here.
GlobalData tracks drug-specific phase transition and likelihood of approval scores, in addition to indication benchmarks based off 18 years of historical drug development data. Attributes of the drug, company and its clinical trials play a fundamental role in drug-specific PTSR and likelihood of approval.
Afatinib dimaleate overview
Afatinib dimaleate (Giotrif, Gilotrif, Xovoltib) is a 4-anilinoquinazoline, antineoplastic agent. It is formulated as film coated tablets for oral route of administration. It is indicated for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon-19 deletions or exon-21 (L858R) substitution mutations as detected by an FDA-approved test, indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor naïve patients with metastatic (including cytologically proven pleural effusion) adenocarcinoma of the lung with activating EGFR mutation(s). Giotrif is also indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC progressing after platinum-based chemotherapy.
Afatinib is under development for the treatment of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, advanced refractory lymphoma and multiple myeloma, refractory metastatic urothelial tract carcinoma, uterine cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer. It is also under development for the treatment of Fanconi anemia.
