Avutometinib potassium is under clinical development by Verastem and currently in Phase III for Ovarian Cancer. According to GlobalData, Phase III drugs for Ovarian Cancer have a 36% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Pre-Registration. GlobalData’s report assesses how Avutometinib potassium’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.

Avutometinib potassium overview

Avutometinib potassium (RG-7304, RO5126766) is under development for the treatment of solid tumors including low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) , peritoneal cancer, gastroesophageal junction carcinoma, fallopian tube cancer, metastatic uveal melanoma, brain metastases from cutaneous melanoma, metastatic pancreatic cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, non-small cell lung cancer, multiple myeloma, glioblastoma, recurrent glioblastoma, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, HER2 negative breast cancer, anaplastic thyroid cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular thyroid carcinoma and colorectal cancer. It is administered orally as a capsule. It is a new molecular entity (NME) with a structure based on a coumarin skeleton. The drug candidate acts by targeting B-Raf kinase, C-Raf kinase, mitogen activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MEK-1 or MAP2K1). It was also under development for melanoma, pancreatic cancer and solid tumors in Japan.
