Dimethyl fumarate DR is under clinical development by Biogen and currently in Phase I for Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma). According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) have an 84% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Dimethyl fumarate DR’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.

Dimethyl fumarate DR overview

Dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera) is the methyl ester of fumaric acid, acts as an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agent. It is formulated as gastro-resistant hard capsules or delayed release capsules for oral route of administration. Tecfidera is indicated for the treatment of relapsing – remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).

The drug candidate is under development for the treatment of primary progressive multiple sclerosis and systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH). It is administered through oral route. It was also under development for the treatment of psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic leukemia.
