TransCon IL-2 beta/gamma is under clinical development by Ascendis Pharma and currently in Phase II for Melanoma. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Melanoma have a 27% 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, renal cell carcinoma, metastatic colorectal cancer, colon cancer and other human papilloma virus associated cancers. The drug candidate comprises of a protein conjugated to a carrier via a TransCon hGH linker and administered through intravenous route.
