Merinax (HEXAPROPYMATE)

Phase 2 active Small molecule Quality 24/100

Merinax (generic name: HEXAPROPYMATE) is a hexapropymate drug. It is currently in Phase 2 development.

Merinax is thought to work by interacting with a specific target in the body, although the exact mechanism is not well understood.

Merinax, also known as hexapropymate, is a small molecule drug of the hexapropymate class. Its exact target and mechanism of action are unknown, and it has not been approved by the FDA for any indications. The commercial status of Merinax is unclear, with no information available on its patent status or generic manufacturers. Further research is needed to determine the safety and efficacy of this compound. As a result, Merinax is not currently available for clinical use.

Likelihood of approval
15.3% 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).
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
TGA AU 2032–2036 +1.2 yr
PMDA JP 2032–2036 +1.5 yr
NMPA CN 2033–2037 +2.3 yr

CDSCO IN 2032–2037 +1.8 yr
ANVISA BR 2033–2037 +2.3 yr

Hover any row for the lag rationale. Lag estimates are reduced when the drug has FDA Breakthrough or EMA PRIME designation (sponsors file globally in parallel).

Estimate based on the BIO/Informa industry phase transition rates plus per-drug modifiers for therapeutic area, sponsor type, FDA designations, mechanism, and trial design. Per-jurisdiction lags from Tufts CSDD international approval studies. Not investment, clinical or regulatory advice. Methodology: /methodology#likelihood.

Mechanism of action

Imagine your body's cells are like locks, and Merinax is a key that fits into one of those locks. When it binds to the lock, it can affect how the cell works, but we don't know exactly how it does that yet. More research is needed to understand how Merinax works and how it might be used to treat diseases.
