Brexanolone is under clinical development by Sage Therapeutics and currently in Phase I for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) does not have sufficient historical data to build an indication benchmark PTSR for Phase I. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to create drugs-specific PTSR and LoA in the Brexanolone LoA Report. 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.
Brexanolone overview
Brexanolone (Zulresso) is a mixture of allopregnanolone and sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin, acts as an anti-depressant. It is formulated as injectable solution for intravenous route of administration. Zulresso is indicated for the treatment of postpartum depression (PPD) in adults. Zulresso is indicated for the treatment of postpartum depression in patients 15 years of age and older.
SAGE-547 (SGE-120) is under development for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychosis, tinnitus and alcohol use disorder. The drug candidate is administered through intravenous injection. The drug candidate is a formulation of allopregnanolone, a metabolite of progesterone formed in the CNS. It is a positive GABAA receptor allosteric modulator. The drug candidate is based on positive and negative allosteric modulator (PANAM) chemistry platform. The PANAM technology comprises of non-benzodiazepine approach that regulates allosteric modulation of GABAA receptor in the positive (PAM) direction.
It was also under development for the treatment of postpartum depression (PPD), super-refractory status epilepticus (SE), traumatic brain injury, major depressive disorder, Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, COVID-19 related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and essential tremor.
