Niraparib is under clinical development by Johnson & Johnson and currently in Pre-Registration for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC). According to GlobalData, Pre-Registration drugs for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) have a 91% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Marketed. GlobalData’s report assesses how Niraparib’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.

Niraparib overview

Niraparib (MK-4827, Zejula) is an anti-neoplastic agent. It is formulated as hard gelatin capsules, tablets and film coated tablets for oral route of administration. Zejula is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer who are in complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy and also indicated for the treatment of adult patients with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have been treated with three or more prior chemotherapy regimens and whose cancer is associated with homologous-recombination deficient (HRD) positive status defined by either a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA mutation, genomic instability and who have progressed more than six months after response to the last platinum-based chemotherapy.
