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.

Cetuximab overview

Cetuximab (Erbitux) is a chimeric monoclonal IgG1 antibody produced in a mammalian cell line (Sp2/0) by recombinant DNA technology, acts as anti-neoplastic agent. It is formulated as injection, solution for intravenous route of administration. Erbitux is indicated in combination with radiation therapy for the initial treatment of locally or regionally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN); in combination with platinum-based therapy with fluorouracil for the first-line treatment of patients with recurrent locoregional disease or metastatic SCCHN and as a single-agent for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN for whom prior platinum-based therapy has failed. It is also indicated for the treatment of K-Ras wild-type, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-expressing, metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) as determined by an FDA-approved test, in combination with FOLFIRI (irinotecan, fluorouracil, leucovorin) for first-line treatment; in combination with irinotecan in patients who are refractory to irinotecan-based chemotherapy and as a single-agent in patients who have failed oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based chemotherapy or who are intolerant to irinotecan.

It is under development for the treatment of advanced or metastatic squamous anal cancer (SCCAC), and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. It was under development for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, metastatic breast carcinoma, triple-negative breast cancer, adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, metastatic pancreatic cancer, metastatic breast cancer, ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, peritoneal cancer, prostate cancer, metastatic pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and metastatic biliary tract cancer, squamous non-small cell lung cancer and recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma .

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.
