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.

Sorafenib tosylate overview

Sorafenib tosylate (Nexavar) is an antiproliferative and angiogenesis inhibitor. Nexavar is formulated as film coated tablets for oral route of administration. Nexavar is indicated for hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic renal cell carcinoma and for the treatment of patients with locally recurrent or metastatic, progressive, differentiated thyroid carcinoma (papillary, follicular, Hurthle cell) that is refractory to radioactive iodine treatment.

The gold standard of business intelligence.

Blending expert knowledge with cutting-edge technology, GlobalData’s unrivalled proprietary data will enable you to decode what’s happening in your market. You can make better informed decisions and gain a future-proof advantage over your competitors.

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.
