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.

Triheptanoin overview

Triheptanoin (Dojolvi) is a triglyceride. It is formulated as liquid for oral route of administration. Dojolvi is indicated for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with molecularly confirmed long chain fatty acid oxidation disorders.

Triheptanoin is under development for the treatment of long-chain 3-hydroxy acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency, carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency, carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency and medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD). The drug candidate is administered orally as a liquid. It is a synthetic triglyceride of heptanoate which is composed of three seven-carbon fatty acids.

It was also under development for the treatment of Pompe disease and sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM). It was under development for Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome (Glut1 DS) patients experiencing disabling paroxysmal movement disorders, Barth syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Rett syndrome, Huntington's disease, Mc Ardle disease (glycogen storage disease type V), glycogen storage disorder type 1, tarui disease, debrancher deficiency and glycogenin-1 deficiency, childhood hemiplegia, migraine, mitochondrial dysfunction in Rett syndrome, dyskinesia and epilepsy. 

Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical overview

Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical (Ultragenyx) is a biotechnology company that develops novel medicines for rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases. It has four marketed products, Mepsevii (vestronidase alfa) for the treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis (Sly syndrome); Dojolvi (triheptanoin), a highly purified, synthetic, 7-carbon fatty acid triglyceride for long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD); Crysvita (burosumab), a fully human monoclonal antibody for the treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH); and Evkeeza (evinacumab) for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). Its pipeline includes DTX401 for the treatment of glycogen storage disease type Ia, or GSDIa; UX701 for Wilson disease; UX053 for glycogen storage disease type III; and GTX-102 for Angelman syndrome in partnership with GeneTx. It works in partnership with various academic institutes and biotechnology companies to advance its product candidates. Ultragenyx is headquartered in Novato, California, the US.

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.
