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.
Petosemtamab overview
Petosemtamab (MCLA-158) is under development for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer and other solid tumors including cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer, penile cancer, anal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, squamous non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, endometrial cancer, pancreatic cancer, salivary gland cancer, squamous esophageal cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The therapeutic candidate is administered through intravenous route.
