Doxorubicin hydrochloride is under clinical development by Johnson & Johnson and currently in Phase II for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Positive Breast Cancer (HER2+ Breast Cancer). According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Positive Breast Cancer (HER2+ Breast Cancer) have a 45% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Doxorubicin hydrochloride’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.

Doxorubicin hydrochloride overview

Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil, Caelyx) is an anthracycline topoisomerase inhibitor isolated from Streptomyces peucetius var. caesius. Doxil is encapsulated in the Stealth liposomes and follows lipid nanoparticle (LNP) drug delivery system. It is formulated as concentrate suspension pegylated liposomal injection for intravenous infusion administration. It is used for the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer whose disease has progressed or recurred after platinum-based chemotherapy, metastatic breast cancer and it is also used for the treatment of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma in patients with disease that has progressed on prior combination chemotherapy or in patients who are intolerant to such therapy. In combination with bortezomib, Doxil is used for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have not previously received bortezomib and have received at least one prior therapy.

It is under development for the treatment of HER2 negative and positive breast cancer as a adjuvant therapy. It was under development for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer as a first line therapy in the United states.
