Likelihood of approval

15.3% 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).

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
