Likelihood of approval
10% vs 5% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2036–2040
Steps remaining: Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Low
Why this estimate
  • Baseline preclinical → approval rate +5.0pp
    Industry-wide preclinical drugs reach approval ~5% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Anti-infectives pathway favourability +2.0pp
    Microbiological endpoints + non-inferiority designs raise approval rates above baseline.
  • Big-pharma sponsor +3.0pp
    Pfizer Inc. is a top-20 pharma sponsor — historical approval rates run ~3pp above average due to scale, regulatory experience, and trial-design quality.
