Deferiprone is under clinical development by Chiesi Farmaceutici and currently in Phase III for Neurodegenerative Diseases. According to GlobalData, Phase III drugs for Neurodegenerative Diseases have a 13% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Pre-Registration. GlobalData’s report assesses how Deferiprone’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.

Deferiprone overview

Deferiprone (Ferriprox) is an iron chelating agent. It is formulated as solution, tablets and film coated tablets for oral route of administration.
