Avacopan is under clinical development by Amgen and currently in Phase III for Churg-Strauss Syndrome. According to GlobalData, Phase III drugs for Churg-Strauss Syndrome have a 100% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Pre-Registration. GlobalData’s report assesses how Avacopan’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.
Avacopan overview
Avacopan (Tavneos) is a selective immunosuppressant. It is formulated as hard capsules for oral route of administration. Tavneos is indicated for the treatment of patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), the two main types of ANCA-associated vasculitis, a rare and severe autoimmune renal disease with high unmet medical need.
Avacopan (CCX-168) is under development for the treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis and Churg-Strauss syndrome, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) which includes dense deposit disease (DDD), C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) and hidradenitis suppurativa, lupus nephritis. CCX-168 is an orally bioavailable small molecule antagonist of the C5a receptor. The drug candidate is based on the EnabaLink platform. It was also under development for the treatment of IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease).

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.
