liposomal cisplatin

Federation Francophone de Cancerologie Digestive · Phase 3 active Small molecule ✓ Verified Jun 2026

liposomal cisplatin is a Platinum-based chemotherapy Small molecule drug developed by Federation Francophone de Cancerologie Digestive. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Ovarian cancer, Non-small cell lung cancer, Bladder cancer.

Liposomal cisplatin works by releasing cisplatin, a platinum-based chemotherapy drug, in a targeted manner to kill cancer cells.

Liposomal cisplatin is a small molecule modality used in combination with other treatments, such as Sintilimab and chemotherapy, to study its safety and efficacy in various conditions including Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Pleural Mesothelioma. It is used in clinical trials, often in combination with other interventions like Liposomal Paclitaxel and Doxorubicin, to investigate its effects in potentially resectable esophageal cancer and other conditions.

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)
Regulator Country Likely year Lag vs FDA
FDA US 2028–2030
EMA EU 2029–2031 +0.7 yr
