Prostavasin

Hannover Medical School · Phase 2 active Small molecule Under review

Prostavasin is a Small molecule drug developed by Hannover Medical School. It is currently in Phase 2 development for Aorta Dextratransposition with Intact Ventricular Septum, Coarctation of aorta, Congenital Heart Defect Requiring Open Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Also known as: Aprostadil.

Prostavasin is a compound that has been studied in various clinical trials for conditions such as Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Chronic Idiopathic Constipation, Dental Pain, and Congestive Heart Failure. It has been investigated as part of continuous intra-femoral thrombolysis, conventional therapy, and in combination with Lubiprostone, but its exact mechanism of action is not specified in the available information.

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).
  • Cardiovascular Phase 3 risk -2.0pp
    Modern cardiovascular outcome trials are large + long; many fail to beat aggressive standard-of-care.
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.
