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.

Epacadostat overview

Epacadostat (INCB-24360) is under development for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, urothelial carcinoma, rectal cancer and recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, epstein-barr virus positive (EBV+) nasopharyngeal carcinoma, salivary gland cancer, liposarcoma or pleomorphic liposarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE).

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 clinical development (PTSR), as well as how likely the drug will be approved (LoA). This is based on a combination of machine learning and a proprietary algorithm to process data points from various databases found on GlobalData’s Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center.
