Vixotrigine is under clinical development by Biogen and currently in Phase II for Trigeminal Neuralgia (Tic Douloureux). According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Trigeminal Neuralgia (Tic Douloureux) have a 50% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Vixotrigine’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.
Vixotrigine overview
Vixotrigine (CNV-1014802, GSK-1014802) was under development for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. The drug candidate is administered orally. It targets voltage-gated sodium channel type IX alpha subunit (SCN9A or Nav1.7). The drug candidate is based upon ion channel electrophysiology and ion channel medicinal chemistry.
The drug candidate was also under development for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with lumbosacral radiculopathy (PLSR) (sciatica), erythromelalgia, primary inherited, pain associated with small fiber neuropathy (SFN) in diabetes mellitus patients.
