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.

Bimekizumab overview

Bimekizumab (Bimzelx) is a humanised IgG1monoclonal antibody produced in a genetically engineered Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line by recombinant DNA technology. It is formulated as solution for injection in pre-filled syringe and pre-filled pen for subcutaneous route of administration. Bimzelx is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy. Bimzelx is indicated for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, generalized pustular psoriasis and psoriatic erythroderma in patients who are not sufficiently responding to existing treatments
