Avutometinib potassium is under clinical development by Verastem and currently in Phase I for Lung Cancer. According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Lung Cancer have an 80% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Avutometinib potassium’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.

Avutometinib potassium overview

Avutometinib potassium (RG-7304, RO5126766) is under development for the treatment of solid tumors including low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) , peritoneal cancer, metastatic uveal melanoma, metastatic pancreatic cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, non-small cell lung cancer, multiple myeloma, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, HER2 negative breast cancer and colorectal cancer. It is administered orally as a capsule. It is a new molecular entity (NME) with a structure based on a coumarin skeleton. The drug candidate acts by targeting B-Raf kinase, C-Raf kinase, mitogen activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MEK-1 or MAP2K1). It was also under development for melanoma, pancreatic cancer and solid tumors in Japan.

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.
