Lorigerlimab is under clinical development by MacroGenics and currently in Phase II for Melanoma. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Melanoma have a 27% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Lorigerlimab’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.

Lorigerlimab overview

Lorigerlimab (MGD-019) is under development for the treatment of squamous non-small cell lung cancer, cutaneous melanoma, metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, cervical cancer and non-microsatellite instability-high colorectal cancer. The drug candidate is a bi-specific monoclonal antibody which acts by targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte protein 4 (CTLA4). It is based on the dual-affinity re-targeting (DART) technology. It was also under development for the treatment of hematological malignancies. It is administered through intravenous route.

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.
