Volixibat potassium is under clinical development by Mirum Pharmaceuticals and currently in Phase II for Pruritus. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Pruritus have a 50% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Volixibat potassium’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.

Volixibat potassium overview

Volixibat potassium (SHP-626, LUM-002) is under development for primary sclerosing cholangitis and its associated pruritus and primary biliary cholangitis. It is administered through the oral route as a capsule. The drug candidate selectively targets apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT). The human apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (SLC10A2) belongs to the solute carrier family (SLC) of transporters and is an important carrier protein expressed in the small intestine.

It was also under development for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) by Shire, adult cholestasis (intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy), and Type 2 diabetes.
