Ofatumumab is under clinical development by Novartis and currently in Phase III for Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). According to GlobalData, Phase III drugs for Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) have an 89% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Pre-Registration. GlobalData’s report assesses how Ofatumumab’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.

Ofatumumab overview

Ofatumumab (Arzerra) is an antibody. It is formulated as injection solution for intravenous route of administration. It is indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumab. Arzerra in combination with chlorambucil or bendamustine is indicated for the treatment of patients with CLL who have not received prior therapy and who are not eligible for fludarabine-based therapy. Arzerra is used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Arzerra indicated for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia relapsed or refractory cd20 positive, for extended treatment of patients who are in complete or partial response after at least two lines of therapy for recurrent or progressive CLL. Arzerra in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).

Ofatumumab in combination with bendamustine is under development for the treatment of follicular lymphoma relapsing multiple sclerosis including relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS), and recurrent multiple sclerosis. The drug candidate is also under development for acute lymphoblastic leukemia as first-line therapy. It was under development for the treatment of refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, pemphigus vulgaris, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, extranodal marginal zone B-Cell lymphoma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (relapsed and refractory patients).
