MCLA-129 is under clinical development by Merus and currently in Phase II for Laryngeal Cancer. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Laryngeal Cancer does not have sufficient historical data to build an indication benchmark PTSR for Phase II. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to create drugs-specific PTSR and LoA in the MCLA-129 LoA Report. Buy the report here.

Smarter leaders trust GlobalData

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.

MCLA-129 overview

MCLA-129 is under development for the treatment of solid tumor including non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC), gastroesophageal junction (GC/GEJ) adenocarcinoma, Paranasal Sinus And Nasal Cavity Cancer; Oropharyngeal Cancer; Laryngeal Cancer, head and neck cancer and colorectal cancer. It is administered through intravenous drip. The therapeutic candidate is a bi-specific monoclonal antibody that acts by targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET). The drug candidate is being developed based on Multiclonics (biclonics) technology platform.
