Itolizumab is under clinical development by Equillium and currently in Phase I for Lupus Nephritis. According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Lupus Nephritis have an 84% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Itolizumab’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.

Itolizumab overview

Itolizumab (T1h, Alzumab / Anti-CD6 ) is a humanized recombinant anti-CD6 monoclonal antibody. It is formulated as injection solution for intravenous infusion. It is indicated for the treatment of patients with active moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy. Alzumab is indicated for emergency use in the treatment of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in moderate to severe ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) patients due to COVID-19.
