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.

Remestemcel-L overview

Remestemcel-L (Prochymal, Temcell) is a stem cell drug therapy. It is formulated as solution for intravenous route of administration. Remestemcel-L is indicated in the management of acute Graft versus Host Disease (aGvHD) in pediatric patients. Temcell is indicated for treatment in children and adults with acute Graft Versus Host Disease in Japan. Prochymal is an intravenous formulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The stem cells are obtained from the bone marrow of healthy adult donors. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic stem cells of mesodermal origin, with the capacity to differentiate into both mesenchymal and nonmesenchymal lineages likewise bone, cartilage and muscle, tendon, fat and liver.

Prochymal is under development for the treatment of  ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, cutaneous ulcers. It is administered through intravenous and subcutaneous routes. The therapeutic candidate is developed based on mesenchymal precursor cell (MPC) technology platform.

It was also under development for the treatment of acute steroid refractory graft versus host disease (GvHD) in adults and pediatrics as first line therapy and for acute epidermolysis bullosa, type 1 diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), myocardial infarction, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and acute radiation syndrome (ARS), osteoarthritis, cartilage repair.

It is also under development for the treatment of moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Mesoblast overview

Mesoblast is a regenerative medicine company that develops regenerative cell-based products. Its most advanced candidate, remestemcel-L, is in Phase III clinical trials under the brand name RYONCIL for the treatment of pediatric steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGVHD). Mesoblast is advancing rexlemestrocel for localized inflammatory diseases including advanced heart failure, and end-stage ischemic heart failure, and MPc-06-ID (rexlemestrocel) for the treatment of chronic low back pain. The company employs its proprietary technology platform to discover and treat cardiac diseases, and hematological diseases, mesenchymal lineage adult stem cells (MLCs), spine and musculoskeletal disorders, and immune-mediated and inflammatory conditions. The company has operations in the US, Australia, and Singapore. Mesoblast is headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

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.
