Ipilimumab is under clinical development by Bristol-Myers Squibb and currently in Phase I for Multiple Myeloma (Kahler Disease). According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Multiple Myeloma (Kahler Disease) have a 75% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Ipilimumab’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.

Ipilimumab overview

Ipilimumab (Yervoy, Winglore) is a recombinant, human monoclonal antibody belongs to antineoplastic agent.
