Troxatyl (TROXACITABINE)

Phase 2 active Small molecule ✓ Verified May 2026

Troxatyl (generic name: TROXACITABINE) is a troxacitabine drug. It is currently in Phase 2 development.

Troxacitabine works by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase, which is essential for viral replication.

Troxacitabine is a small molecule used in clinical trials for various conditions, including Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Leukemia, and Neoplasms. It has been studied in combination with other interventions, such as Fostrox and Lenvatinib, in clinical trials.

Likelihood of approval
17.3% 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).
  • Anti-infectives pathway favourability +2.0pp
    Microbiological endpoints + non-inferiority designs raise approval rates above baseline.
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
MFDS KR 2032–2036 +1.4 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.

Mechanism of action

Imagine your body's cells are like factories that make copies of themselves. Viruses are like tiny invaders that try to take over these factories. Troxacitabine stops the factories from making copies of the invaders by blocking the machines that make the copies.
