Anifrolumab is under clinical development by AstraZeneca and currently in Phase III for Lupus Nephritis. According to GlobalData, Phase III drugs for Lupus Nephritis have a 33% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Pre-Registration. GlobalData’s report assesses how Anifrolumab’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.

Anifrolumab overview

Anifrolumab (Saphnelo) is a immunoglobulin G1 kappa (IgG1κ) monoclonal antibody that is produced in mouse myeloma cells (NS0) by recombinant DNA technology. It is formulated as solution, concentration solution for intravenous route of administration. Saphnelo is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who are receiving standard therapy.

Anifrolumab (MEDI-546) is under development for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, polymyositis, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, primary Sjogren''s syndrome and active proliferative lupus nephritis. The drug candidate is administered through intravenous and subcutaneous route as a solution. It is a fully human monoclonal antibody. It targets IFN-alpha receptor subunit 1 (IFNAR1). The drug candidate is based on UltiMAb Human antibody development technology platform.

GlobalData

GlobalData, the leading provider of industry intelligence, provided the underlying data, research, and analysis used to produce this article.

GlobalData’s Likelihood of Approval analytics tool dynamically assesses and predicts how likely a drug will move to the next stage in its clinical pathway (PTSR), as well as how likely the drug will be approved (LoA). This is based on a proprietary algorithm built from the drugs’ sales forecast, regulatory milestones, cost forecasts, WACC rate and other proprietary data sources found on GlobalData’s Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center.
