SPI-62 is under clinical development by Sparrow Pharmaceuticals and currently in Phase I for Type 2 Diabetes. According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Type 2 Diabetes have a 65% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how SPI-62’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.

SPI-62 overview

Concomitant therapy of SPI-62 and next generation corticosteroid is under development for the treatment of cushing's syndrome, autonomous cortisol secretion, type 2 diabetes in obese patients and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). It is administered though oral route in the form of tablet and also administered through intraocular, topical routes. It acts by targeting 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD1).
