Xgeva is under clinical development by Amgen and currently in Phase II for Multiple Myeloma (Kahler Disease). According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Multiple Myeloma (Kahler Disease) have a 31% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Xgeva’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.

Xgeva overview

Denosumab (Xgeva / Ranmark / Corora) is a human monoclonal antibody of the immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2), acts as antineoplastic agent. It is produced in genetically engineered Chinese hamster ovary cells. It is formulated as solution for subcutaneous route of administration. Xgeva is indicated for the prevention of skeletal-related events in patients with bone metastases in patients with multiple myeloma and giant cell tumor of bone. Xgeva is also indicated for the treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy that is refractory to intravenous bisphosphonate, and for the treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in men and women at high risk of fracture who are either initiating or continuing systemic glucocorticoids in a daily dosage equivalent to 7.5 mg or greater of prednisone and expected to remain on glucocorticoids for at least 6 months and is indicated for the treatment of adults and skeletally mature adolescents (defined as having at least one mature long bone and weigh≥45 kg) with giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) that is unresectable or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity.

The drug candidate is under development for the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer, multiple myeloma,  metastatic melanoma, langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), metastatic urothelial carcinoma and metastatic renal cell carcinoma. It was also under development for the treatment of breast cancer in Japan and metastatic breast cancer. (adjuvant therapy), bone metastasis.

It was also under development for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
