Okay Colbaltblue, I appreciate positivity is not your thing. However please take a look at this recent study the author is Shingo Yamaguchi an employee of GlaxoSmithKline K.K., Tokyo, Japan.
Approval success rates of drug candidates based on target, action, modality, application, and their combinations.
"The current success rate of a drug candidate, from the beginning of the clinical trial to receiving marketing approval, is about 10%-20%, and it has not changed during the past few decades."
Moreover, after analyzing the combinations of these parameters, the approval success rates of drugs that corresponded to the following categories-a stimulant in drug action or an enzyme in drug target and biologics in drug modality-were high (34.1% and 31.3%, respectively)
My understanding is SDC-1801 is the later of the two categories.
