Ensifentrine is under clinical development by Verona Pharma and currently in Phase II for Bronchiectasis. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Bronchiectasis have a 44% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase III. GlobalData’s report assesses how Ensifentrine’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.

Ensifentrine overview

Ensifentrine (Ohtuvayre) acts as bronchodilator and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. It is formulated as suspension for inhalational route of administration. Ohtuvayre is indicated for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adult patients. 

Ensifentrine (RPL-554) is under development for the treatment of allergic asthma, mild to moderate chronic asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, non cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. The drug candidate is administered through inhalation route as a suspension. RPL-554 acts by targeting both phosphodiesterase 3 and phosphodiesterase 4 enzymes. It was also under development for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Ensifentrine (RPL-554) was under development for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
