Selumetinib sulfate is under clinical development by AstraZeneca and currently in Phase II for Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (Neurofibrosarcoma). According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (Neurofibrosarcoma) does not have sufficient historical data to build an indication benchmark PTSR for Phase II. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to create drugs-specific PTSR and LoA in the Selumetinib sulfate LoA Report. 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.

Selumetinib sulfate overview

Selumetinib sulfate (Koselugo / Cocellugo / Coselugo) is a potent anti neoplastic agent. It is formulated as hard gelatin capsules for oral route of administration. Koselugo is indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN).

Selumetinib sulfate (ARRY-142886, AZD6244) is under development for the treatment of solid tumors including peripheral nerve sheath tumor (second-line therapy), plexiform neurofibroma, children with recurrent or refractory low-grade gliomas, meningioma, vestibular schwannoma, neuroblastoma, neurofibromatoses type II. It is administered orally and acts as a mitogen activated protein kinase 1 and 2. It is a new molecular entity (NME).

The drug candidate was also under development for the treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia, differentiated thyroid cancer, advanced biliary tract cancer, metastatic uveal melanoma, recurrent or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic breast cancer, AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, metastatic pancreatic cancer, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, multiple myeloma, relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and non-small cell lung cancer, gallbladder cancer, bile duct cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma), neuroblastoma, EGFR mutated non small cell cancer, ovarian or peritoneal cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
