Natalizumab is under clinical development by Biogen and currently in Phase II for Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD). According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) have a 48% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Natalizumab’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.

Natalizumab overview

Natalizumab (Tysabri) is a recombinant humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody acts against multiple sclerosis. It is formulated as a solution-concentrate for intravenous and solution for subcutaneous route of administration. Tysabri is indicated as the single disease modifying therapy in highly active relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, and  active secondary progressive disease, in adults.
