TKIs

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a class of medications used to treat various types of cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer, HER2-positive breast cancer, brain metastases, myelofibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Examples of TKIs include Crizotinib, which is specifically used to treat ALK-rearranged advanced squamous cell carcinoma.

Likelihood of approval
8% vs 5% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2036–2040
Steps remaining: Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Low
Why this estimate
  • Baseline preclinical → approval rate +5.0pp
    Industry-wide preclinical drugs reach approval ~5% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Big-pharma sponsor +3.0pp
    Pfizer Inc. is a top-20 pharma sponsor — historical approval rates run ~3pp above average due to scale, regulatory experience, and trial-design quality.
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)
Regulator Country Likely year Lag vs FDA
FDA US 2036–2040
EMA EU 2037–2041 +0.7 yr
MHRA GB 2037–2041 +0.7 yr
Health Canada CA 2037–2042 +0.9 yr
TGA AU 2037–2042 +1.2 yr
PMDA JP 2037–2042 +1.5 yr
NMPA CN 2038–2043 +2.3 yr

CDSCO IN 2037–2043 +1.8 yr
ANVISA BR 2038–2043 +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.
