Silmitasertib is under clinical development by Senhwa Biosciences and currently in Phase I for Basal Cell Carcinoma (Basal Cell Epithelioma). According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Basal Cell Carcinoma (Basal Cell Epithelioma) have an 81% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Silmitasertib’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.
