Serdolect

University of Aarhus · Phase 1 active Small molecule Under review

Serdolect is a Small molecule drug developed by University of Aarhus. It is currently in Phase 1 development for Schizophrenia. Also known as: sertindole.

Sertindole, sold under the brand name Serdolect, is an antipsychotic medication used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It works as a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, a small molecule that blocks the action of dopamine at these receptors in the brain.

Likelihood of approval
6.6% vs 9.6% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2033–2036
Steps remaining: Phase 2 → Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Medium
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 1 → approval rate +9.6pp
    Industry-wide phase 1 drugs reach approval ~9.6% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • CNS / neurology attrition -3.0pp
    CNS drugs have historically high Phase 3 failure rates (notably in Alzheimer disease + major depression).
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)
Regulator Country Likely year Lag vs FDA
FDA US 2033–2036
EMA EU 2034–2037 +0.7 yr
MHRA GB 2034–2037 +0.7 yr
Health Canada CA 2034–2038 +0.9 yr
TGA AU 2034–2038 +1.2 yr
PMDA JP 2034–2038 +1.5 yr
NMPA CN 2035–2039 +2.3 yr
MFDS KR 2034–2038 +1.4 yr
CDSCO IN 2034–2039 +1.8 yr
ANVISA BR 2035–2039 +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.
