Zilovertamab vedotin is under clinical development by Merck and currently in Phase I for Lymphoma. According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Lymphoma have a 70% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Zilovertamab vedotin’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.

Zilovertamab vedotin overview

Zilovertamab vedotin is under development for the treatment of solid tumors, blood cancer including advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma of renal pelvis, ureter (upper urinary tract), bladder, or urethra, relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer, mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or Richter transformation lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, acute lymphoid leukemia, or acute myeloid leukemia, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, progesterone receptor (PR)-positive, or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative breast cancer (HER2- breast cancer), ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer. It is administered through intravenous route of administration. It acts by targeting ROR1 antigens expressing cells. The drug candidate is linked to UC-961-linker-monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) ADC that preserves the high-affinity binding and specificity of UC-961 and allows for ROR1-targeted intracellular release of MMAE.

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.
