Retifanlimab is under clinical development by Incyte and currently in Phase II for Metastatic Transitional (Urothelial) Tract Cancer. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Metastatic Transitional (Urothelial) Tract Cancer have a 46% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Retifanlimab’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.

Retifanlimab overview

Retifanlimab (Zynyz) is a humanized IgG4 kappa monoclonal antibody produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells. It is formulated as solution for intravenous route of administration. Zynyz is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic or recurrent locally advanced Merkel cell carcinoma.
