Ziv-aflibercept is under clinical development by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and currently in Phase II for Uveal Melanoma. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Uveal Melanoma have a 20% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Ziv-aflibercept’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.

Ziv-aflibercept overview

Ziv-aflibercept (Zaltrap / Aflitiv / Lidaveg / Zaltrapziv / Zalzen) is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)-binding portions from the extracellular domains of human VEGF Receptors 1 and 2 fused to the Fc portion of the human IgG1. Zaltrap in combination with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan-(FOLFIRI), is indicated for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Ziv-aflibercept is under development for the treatment of uveal melanoma. It was also under development for rectal cancer, ovarian cancer, ascites, non-small-cell-lung adenocarcinoma, metastatic pancreatic cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). It is administered through the intravitreal route.

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.
