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.

Secukinumab overview

Secukinumab (Cosentyx, Zafrez, Fraizeron, Scapho Lyvi) is an immunosuppressive agent. It is formulated as freeze-dried preparation for powder for solution and solution in prefilled syringe or pre-filled pen for subcutaneous and intravenous route of administration. Cosentyx is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in patients 6 years and older who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy; adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis. It is also indicated for the treatment of adult patients with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nraxSpA) with objective signs of inflammation and also indicated for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris, psoriatic arthritis, and pustular psoriasis in children. Cosentyx (secukinumab), used alone or in combination with methotrexate, in the juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) categories of enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) and juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) in patients 6 years and older whose disease has responded inadequately to, or who cannot tolerate, conventional therapy. It is also indicated for the treatment for tendon injury.

Secukinumab is under development for the treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum, psoriasis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, hidradenitis suppurativa, giant cell arteritis, atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis,  lichen planus. The drug candidate was under development for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, contact dermatitis, moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in pediatrics, rheumatoid arthritis, bronchial asthma, non-infectious uveitis in patients with Behcet’s disease, neutrophilia, dry eye syndrome, type 1 diabetes, severe Crohn's disease and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), relapsing multiple sclerosis, polymyalgia rheumatica and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) associated with Covid-19 and Covid-19 associated pneumonia.

It was also under development for the treatment of Necrobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum, lupus nephritis, chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus, active peripheral spondyloarthritis (pSpA), thyroid eye disease (Graves ophthalmopathy), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and ankylosing spondylitis.

GlobalData, the leading provider of industry intelligence, provided the underlying data, research, and analysis used to produce this article.

GlobalData’s Likelihood of Approval analytics tool dynamically assesses and predicts how likely a drug will move to the next stage in clinical development (PTSR), as well as how likely the drug will be approved (LoA). This is based on a combination of machine learning and a proprietary algorithm to process data points from various databases found on GlobalData’s Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center.
