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.

Abatacept overview

Abatacept (Orencia/ Ohrencia) is a soluble fusion protein produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary cells. It is formulated as an solution for subcutaneous route and powder for concentrate solution for intravenous route of administration. It is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, inducing major clinical response, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, for reducing signs and symptoms in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It may be used as monotherapy or concomitantly with methotrexate (MTX), indicated for reducing signs and symptoms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older who have had an inadequate response to one or more DMARDs, such as MTX. Orencia in combination with methotrexate (MTX), for the treatment of highly active and progressive disease in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) not previously treated with MTX, indicated as alone or in combination with methotrexate for the treatment of active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) in adult patients for whom the response to previous disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy, including methotrexate, has been inadequate, and additional systemic therapy for psoriatic skin lesions is not required.

Abatacept is under development for the treatment of interstitial lung diseases, Wegener's granulomatosis, immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD), graft versus host disease, myocarditis. It is administered through intravenous and subcutaneous routes. It acts by targeting CTLA 4.

It was also under development for the treatment of dermatomyositis, polymyositis, vitiligo, idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, cytopenia, nephrotic syndrome including focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, COVID-19,uveitis, primary Sjogren's syndrome, psoriasis, alopecia areata, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, sarcoidosis, giant cell arteritis, Takayasu arteritis, relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, chronic urticarial, untreated rheumatoid arthritis (intravenous), lupus nephritis (subcutaneous, intravenous), myasthenia gravis, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus,  polymyalgia rheumatica and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy

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.
