Pexidartinib hydrochloride is under clinical development by Daiichi Sankyo and currently in Phase II for Sarcomas. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Sarcomas have a 27% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Pexidartinib hydrochloride’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.

Pexidartinib hydrochloride overview

Pexidartinib hydrochloride (Turalio) is an anti-neoplastic agent. It is formulated as hard gelatin capsules for oral route of administration. Pexidartinib hydrochloride is indicated for the treatment of or the treatment of adult patients with symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) associated with severe morbidity or functional limitations and not amenable to improvement with surgery.

Pexidartinib hydrochloride (PLX-3397) is under development for the treatment of tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors and sarcoma. The drug candidate is administered through the oral route. It targets macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF-1), mast/stem cell growth factor receptor kit and receptor-type tyrosine-protein kinase FLT3. This small molecule is developed using scaffold-based drug discovery platform.
