ME-344 is under clinical development by MEI Pharma and currently in Phase I for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Negative Breast Cancer (HER2- Breast Cancer). According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Negative Breast Cancer (HER2- Breast Cancer) have a 90% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how ME-344’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.
ME-344 overview
ME-344 is under development for the treatment of HER2 negative breast cancer and relapsed acute myeloid leukemia, refractory acute myeloid leukemia. The drug candidate is administered as intravenous infusion. It acts by targeting NADH Dehydrogenase and cytochrome bc1 complex. It is an isoflavone-derived mitochondrial inhibitor, an active metabolite of NV-128 that inhibits mTORC-1 and mTORC-2. The drug candidate is developed based on captisol (a patent protected, chemically modified cyclodextrin), a formulation technology.
It was also under development for the treatment of platinum-refractory ovarian, metastatic small cell lung cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer and cervical cancer.
MEI Pharma overview
MEI Pharma is a pharmaceutical company. It is focused on developing innovative cancer therapies. The company’s pipeline includes Voruciclib, an oral CDK9 inhibitor targeting relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and solid tumors, designed to overcome resistance linked to MYC and MCL1 expression. It also includes ME-344, an intravenous mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor designed to treat solid tumors by disrupting ATP production in cancer cells, inducing cell death. The clinical studies have shown promising results, especially in combination with anti-angiogenics like bevacizumab, demonstrating biological activity in HER2-negative breast cancer and efficacy in metastatic colorectal cancer. MEI Pharma is headquartered in San Diego, California, the US.
