BO-112 is under clinical development by Highlight Therapeutics and currently in Phase I for Head And Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSC). According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Head And Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSC) have a 79% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how BO-112’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.

BO-112 overview

BO-112 is under development for the treatment of aggressive solid tumors including metastasis from refractory non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, basal cell carcinoma, soft tissue sarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, leiomyosarcoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. It is administered through intratumoral  and intralesional route. The drug candidate is a synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) nanoplexed with the cationic carrier polyethylenimine (PEI), it activates retinoic acid inducible gene 1 protein (RIG 1), toll like receptor 3 (TLR 3) and melanoma differentiation associated protein 5 (MDA5).

It was also under development for the treatment of melanoma, triple negative breast cancer, gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors.
