Azacitidine is under clinical development by Bristol-Myers Squibb and currently in Phase II for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma does not have sufficient historical data to build an indication benchmark PTSR for Phase II. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to create drugs-specific PTSR and LoA in the Azacitidine LoA Report. 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.
Azacitidine overview
Azacitidine (Vidaza, Azafuridine, Celazadine) is a pyrimidine analog acts as an anti-anemic, anti-neoplastic agent. It is formulated as lyophilized powder for suspension and solution for intravenous, and subcutaneous route of administration. It is indicated for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It is indicated used for all 5 FAB (French-American-British) subtypes of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) which include refractory anemia (RA), refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS), refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB), refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation (RAEB-T) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMoL). Vidaza is also indicated for the treatment of adult patients aged 65 years or older with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and indicated for the treatment of adult patients who are not eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with intermediate-2 and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) according to the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) with 10-29% marrow blasts without myeloproliferative disorder and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with 20-30% blasts and multi-lineage dysplasia. Vidaza is indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients aged one month and older with newly diagnosed JMML.
