Dibromopropamidine (DIBROMPROPAMIDINE)

Phase 2 active Small molecule ✓ Verified May 2026

Dibromopropamidine (generic name: DIBROMPROPAMIDINE) is a dibrompropamidine drug. It is currently in Phase 2 development.

Dibromopropamidine works by binding to the Suppressor of tumorigenicity 14 protein, potentially inhibiting its activity.

Dibromopropamidine is a small molecule with a verified synonym, and it has been studied in a clinical trial as a 0.1% solution for the treatment of Acanthamoeba Keratitis. The study compared dibromopropamidine to a 0.08% PHMB solution and a placebo.

Likelihood of approval
13.3% vs 15.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2031–2034
Steps remaining: Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Medium
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 2 → approval rate +15.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 2 drugs reach approval ~15.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Oncology Phase 2 attrition -2.0pp
    Oncology drugs have higher Phase 2-to-Phase 3 attrition than average — many fail to show OS benefit in larger studies.
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)
Regulator Country Likely year Lag vs FDA
FDA US 2031–2034
EMA EU 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
MHRA GB 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
Health Canada CA 2032–2036 +0.9 yr

Mechanism of action

Imagine your body's cells have a 'brake' system to prevent them from growing out of control. The Suppressor of tumorigenicity 14 protein is like a key part of this brake system. Dibromopropamidine is designed to bind to this protein, which could help slow down or stop the growth of abnormal cells.
