Cemiplimab is under clinical development by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and currently in Phase I for Merkel Cell Carcinoma. According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Merkel Cell Carcinoma have an 82% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Cemiplimab’s drug-specific PTSR and Likelihood of Approval (LoA) scores compare to the indication benchmarks. Buy the report here.
Smarter leaders trust GlobalData
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.
Cemiplimab overview
Cemiplimab (Libtayo) is an anti-neoplastic agent. It is formulated as concentrate solution for intravenous route of administration. Libtayo is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. Libtayo is indicated for the treatment of patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC) previously treated with a hedgehog pathway inhibitor or for whom a hedgehog pathway inhibitor is not appropriate and in patients with metastatic basal cell carcinoma (mBCC) previously treated with a hedgehog pathway inhibitor or for whom a hedgehog pathway inhibitor is not appropriate. Libtayo is indicated for the first-line treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression [Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) ≥ 50%] as determined by an FDA-approved test, with no EGFR, ALK or ROS1 aberrations, and is locally advanced where patients are not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation or metastatic.
Cemiplimab (REGN-2810) is under development for the treatment of metastatic melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma, merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), advanced/metastatic penile carcinoma, recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, advanced solid tumors including metastatic pancreatic cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal, endometrial cancer, advanced or metastatic secondary angiosarcoma, metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, fallopian tube cancer, thyroid cancer, colon cancer colorectal cancer, metastatic prostate cancer (as a first-line therapy), metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, pediatric glioblastoma, advanced malignancies, newly diagnosed glioblastoma, melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, relapsed or refractory natural killer cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphomas, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and adenocarcinoma of the prostate, cervical cancer, HPV16 positive oropharyngeal cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma and advanced hematologic malignancies including relapsed and refractory B-cell Hodgkin lymphoma, B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, breast cancer (adjuvant), oral cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, metastatic uveal melanoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is administered intravenously and intralesionally. The drug candidate is a fully human hinge-stabilized IgG4P monoclonal antibody which acts by targeting the PD-1 receptor. It is developed based on VelocImmune platform technology.
It was also under development for the treatment of squamous non-small cell lung cancer, hepatitis B, newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma in children, newly diagnosed or recurrent high-grade glioma in children, triple negative breast cancer.
