Streptozotocin
Streptozotocin is a Small molecule drug developed by Hoffmann-La Roche. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor.
Streptozotocin is a small molecule DNA inhibitor used as an alkylating antineoplastic agent. It is particularly toxic to the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas and is used in medicine to treat certain cancers, including those of the islets of Langerhans, and conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.

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. -
Big-pharma sponsor
+3.0pp
Hoffmann-La Roche is a top-20 pharma sponsor — historical approval rates run ~3pp above average due to scale, regulatory experience, and trial-design quality.

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.
