Zenocutuzumab is under clinical development by Merus and currently in Phase II for Solid Tumor. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Solid Tumor have a 10% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Zenocutuzumab’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.

Zenocutuzumab overview

Zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128) is under development for the treatment of solid tumors, HER2 low expressing and HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, Cholangiocarcinoma, metastati castration resistant prostate cancer and other solid tumors. It is administered by intravenous route as an infusion. The therapeutic candidate is a full-length IgG bi-specific antibody that acts by targeting HER2 and HER3. It is an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)-enhanced Biclonic, that is developed based on Biclonics ENGAGE platform.

It was also under development for the treatment of ovarian cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, epithelial tumor, gastric cancer, endometrial cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Merus overview

Merus is a pharmaceutical company that discovers and develops antibody therapeutics for cancer indications. The company is investigating MCLA-128, for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer and solid tumors; ONO-4685, for the treatment of autoimmune disease. It is also evaluating MCLA-158 and MCLA-129, to treat solid tumors and MCLA-145, a T-cell agonist targeting hematological malignancy and solid tumors. Merus utilizes Multiclonics, Biclonics and Triclonics technology platform for developing antibodies to treat cancer. The company works in collaboration with Incyte Corporation, Simcere Pharmaceutical Group, Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Betta Pharmaceuticals Co Ltd to advance its pipeline products.

GlobalData

GlobalData, the leading provider of industry intelligence, provided the underlying data, research, and analysis used to produce this article.

GlobalData’s Likelihood of Approval analytics tool dynamically assesses and predicts how likely a drug will move to the next stage in its clinical pathway (PTSR), as well as how likely the drug will be approved (LoA). This is based on a proprietary algorithm built from the drugs’ sales forecast, regulatory milestones, cost forecasts, WACC rate and other proprietary data sources found on GlobalData’s Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center.
