Hydroxydaunomycin

Weill Medical College of Cornell University · Phase 2 active Small molecule ✓ Verified May 2026

Hydroxydaunomycin is a Small molecule drug developed by Weill Medical College of Cornell University. It is currently in Phase 2 development for Acute lymphoid leukemia, Acute myeloid leukemia, disease, Advanced ovarian cancer. Also known as: Doxorubicin Hydrochloride, Hydroxydoxorubicin Hydrochloride.

Hydroxydaunomycin, also known as doxorubicin, is a small molecule used in various clinical trials for conditions such as hepatocellular carcinoma, relapsed follicular lymphoma, and advanced Hodgkin lymphoma. It is administered through different interventions, including ThermoDox, a heat-activated liposomal formulation.

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
TGA AU 2032–2036 +1.2 yr
PMDA JP 2032–2036 +1.5 yr
NMPA CN 2033–2037 +2.3 yr
MFDS KR 2032–2036 +1.4 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.
