Rh-endostatin

Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease · Phase 3 active Small molecule ✓ Verified May 2026

Rh-endostatin is a Angiogenesis inhibitor Small molecule drug developed by Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Non-small cell lung cancer, Other solid tumors (in development). Also known as: Pembrolizumab, carboplatin, cisplatin, pemetrexed.

Rh-endostatin inhibits angiogenesis by blocking new blood vessel formation, thereby starving tumors of their blood supply.

Rh-endostatin is used in combination with thoracic irradiation of 50 Gy and possibly other treatments for the conditions studied, including Lung Cancer, Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, Colorectal Neoplasms, and Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. The exact mechanism of Rh-endostatin is not specified in the provided facts, but it is listed as recombinant human endostatin (Endostar) in ClinicalTrials.gov.

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
MHRA GB 2029–2031 +0.7 yr

Mechanism of action

Endostatin is an endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor derived from collagen XVIII. Rh-endostatin (recombinant human endostatin) works by suppressing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling and inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and migration, preventing the formation of new blood vessels that tumors require for growth and metastasis.
