Trehalose is under clinical development by Seelos Therapeutics and currently in Phase III for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. According to GlobalData, Phase III drugs for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis have a 32% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Pre-Registration. GlobalData’s report assesses how Trehalose’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.

Trehalose overview

Trehalose is under development for the treatment of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (a type of congenital myopathy), Alzheimer's disease, Huntington’s disease (HD), friedreich ataxia, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Sanfilippo syndrome and undisclosed liver disease. The drug candidate is administered through intravenous infusion. Trehalose is a naturally occurring sugar containing two D-glucose units in an alpha,alpha-1,1 linkage. Trehalose reduces the polyA binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1) aggregates seen in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. It was also under development for the treatment of spino bulbar cerebellar ataxia (SBMA)/Kennedy’s disease and  Machado-Joseph disease/spinocerebellar ataxia 3 (SCA3).
