TransCon IL-2 beta/gamma is under clinical development by Ascendis Pharma and currently in Phase II for Head And Neck Cancer Squamous Cell Carcinoma. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Head And Neck Cancer Squamous Cell Carcinoma have a 28% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how TransCon IL-2 beta/gamma’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.

TransCon IL-2 beta/gamma overview

Recombinant Protein is under development for the treatment of advanced, recurrent, or metastatic solid tumor including melanoma, cervical cancer, head and neck cancer squamous cell carcinoma and colon cancer. The drug candidate comprises of a protein conjugated to a carrier via a TransCon hGH linker and administered through intravenous route. It acts by targeting interleukin-2 receptor subunit beta and gamma. It is being developed based on the TransCon technology platform.

Ascendis Pharma overview

Ascendis Pharma is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on developing drugs for endocrinology and oncology indications. It is investigating TransCon hGH, a long-acting human growth hormone prodrug targeting GHD (growth hormone deficiency); TransCon PTH drug to treat hypoparathyroidism by restoring physiologic levels of PTH (parathyroid hormone); and TransCon CNP, a CNP (C-type natriuretic peptide) drug against achondroplasia (ACH). It is also evaluating TransCon TLR (toll-like receptor) 7/8 agonist, and TransCon IL-2 ß/?, an interleukin-2 variant that activates the IL-2 receptor beta/gamma (IL-2Rß/?) for the treatment of cancer. Ascendis Pharma utilizes its proprietary TransCon technology platform to develop its drugs. The company has its operations in the US, Germany and Denmark. Ascendis Pharma is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.

GlobalData

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 its clinical pathway (PTSR), as well as how likely the drug will be approved (LoA). This is based on a proprietary algorithm built from the drugs’ sales forecast, regulatory milestones, cost forecasts, WACC rate and other proprietary data sources found on GlobalData’s Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center.
