Polatuzumab vedotin is under clinical development by Genentech USA and currently in Phase I for Burkitt Lymphoma. According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Burkitt Lymphoma have a 68% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Polatuzumab vedotin’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.

Polatuzumab vedotin overview

Polatuzumab vedotin (Polivy / Ropolivy) is a monoclonal antibody, acts as an anti-neoplastic agent. It is produced by mammalian Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. It is formulated as lyophilized  powder for solution for intravenous route of administration.

Polatuzumab vedotin (RG-7596) is under development for the treatment of hematologic malignancies including Burkitt lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous DLBCL, High-grade B-cell lymphoma, T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma (B-Cell Hodgkin Lymphoma),thymic carcinoma and T-Cell lymphomas, T-cell/histiocyte-rich large-B-cell lymphoma, epstein-barr virus (EBV) + DLBCL, NOS, ALK+ large B-cell lymphoma, relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma and previously untreated relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The drug candidate is administered intravenously. It is an anti-CD79b antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of the cytotoxic agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) linked to an anti-CD79b monoclonal antibody targeting MMAE to B-cells through CD79b. It was also under development for mantle cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
