Pegargiminase is under clinical development by Polaris Pharmaceuticals and currently in Phase III for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma. According to GlobalData, Phase III drugs for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma have a 50% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Pre-Registration. GlobalData’s report assesses how Pegargiminase’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.
