Enzalutamide by Pfizer for Relapsed Multiple Myeloma: Likelihood of Approval

Enzalutamide is under clinical development by Pfizer and currently in Phase I for Relapsed Multiple Myeloma. According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Relapsed Multiple Myeloma have an 80% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how Enzalutamide’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.
