Metenkefalin is under clinical development by Statera Biopharma and currently in Phase II for Kaposi Sarcoma. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Kaposi Sarcoma have an 8% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Metenkefalin’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.

Metenkefalin overview

IRT-101 (methionine-enkephalin) is under development for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, head and neck cancer, ovarian cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma, influenza A virus H1N1 subtype virus, HIV / AIDS, Kaposi’s sarcoma, lung cancer, hypernephroma. It is administered through intravenous route. It acts by targeting opiod receptors. IRT-101 works by isolating a patient's lymphocytes and then incubating them together with Methionine Enkephalin (MENK) in an enriching external incubation system. After incubation the patient's lymphocytes are re-infused back into the patient where they combat and destroy tumor cells. It is being developed based on AIMS: Advanced Immunomodulating Multi-receptor System platform.

It was also under development for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), thyroid cancer.
