Docetaxel is under clinical development by Starpharma and currently in Phase II for Solid Tumor. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Solid Tumor have a 10% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Docetaxel’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.

Docetaxel overview

Docetaxel (nano-formulation) is under development for the treatment of solid cancers, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer, prostate, esophageal cancer, bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma). It is administered through intravenous route. The drug candidate is developed based on dendrimer nanotechnology. It was also under development for the treatment of small cell lung cancer, gastro-oesophageal, breast, cervical, renal and brain cancer.

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.
