Crizotinib is under clinical development by Pfizer and currently in Phase II for Uveal Melanoma. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Uveal Melanoma have a 29% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Crizotinib’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.

Crizotinib overview

Crizotinib (Xalkori, Crizalk) is a pyrazolylpyridine derivative acts as anti-cancer agent. It is formulated as hard gelatin capsules, pellets for oral route of administration. Xalkori is a prescription medicine used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is advanced or has spread to other parts of the body and is caused by a defect in a gene called ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase). It is also indicated for the treatment of patients with ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Xalkori is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive as detected by an FDA-approved test. Xalkori also indictaed as first-line treatment of adults with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Xalkori is indicated to treat patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are ROS1-positive and as a monotherapy in the treatment of patients with ROS1-positive locally advanced (not amenable to curative therapy) or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Xalkori is indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 year of age and older and young adults with relapsed or refractory, systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) that is ALK-positive and indication for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with unresectable, recurrent, or refractory inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) that is ALK-positive. 

The drug candidate is under development for treatment of malignant neoplasms, advanced malignancies including anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), uveal melanoma, metastatic and pediatric colorectal cancer, metastatic breast cancer, gastric cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, metastatic ovarian cancer, metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma (hepatic carcinoma), refractory multiple myeloma, neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, anaplastic thyroid cancer, metastatic urothelial cancer, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, HER2 negative breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer and glioblastoma multiforme as first and second line of therapy. It can administered through oral route as capsules and tablets.
