Aclacur (ACLARUBICIN)

Phase 3 active Small molecule

Aclacur (generic name: ACLARUBICIN) is a aclarubicin drug. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Acute myeloid leukemia, disease.

Aclacur works by binding to the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B, which is involved in cell growth and proliferation.

Aclacur, also known as aclarubicin, is a small molecule drug that targets the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B. It is used to treat acute myeloid leukemia. The commercial status of Aclacur is unknown, and it is not clear if it is patented or available as a generic. Aclacur's safety considerations are also unknown. Further research is needed to fully understand its pharmacological properties.

Likelihood of approval
61.3% vs 58.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2028–2030
Steps remaining: NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: High
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 3 → approval rate +58.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 3 drugs reach approval ~58.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Oncology Phase 3 boost +3.0pp
    Oncology Phase 3 trials have higher approval rates (~61%) than the cross-industry average due to clearer endpoints and FDA oncology pathway.
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)

Mechanism of action

Imagine your cells are like a city, and the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B is like a traffic light that helps control how fast the city grows. Aclacur is like a traffic cop that blocks the traffic light, slowing down the growth of cancer cells. This helps to stop the cancer from spreading.
