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.

Lonafarnib overview

Lonafarnib (Zokinvy) is a synthetic tricyclic derivative of carboxamide with antineoplastic properties. It is formulated as hard gelatin capsules for oral route of administration.
