Frequently asked questions about Leflunomide

What is Leflunomide?

Leflunomide is a small molecule drug developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (ticker: TEVA). It is also known as Leflunomide 20 mg Tablets. The drug is in Phase 1 clinical development, with two completed trials in healthy volunteers. Its molecular target is DHODH, and it acts as an inhibitor.

What does Leflunomide target?

Leflunomide targets DHODH (dihydroorotate dehydrogenase). It is classified as a DHODH inhibitor. By inhibiting this enzyme, Leflunomide interferes with pyrimidine synthesis, which is important for cell proliferation. This mechanism is relevant to its development as a small molecule therapeutic.

Who makes Leflunomide?

Leflunomide is developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, which trades under the ticker symbol TEVA. Teva is responsible for the clinical development of Leflunomide 20 mg Tablets.

What phase is Leflunomide in?

Leflunomide is in Phase 1 clinical development. Two Phase 1 trials have been completed, and there are currently no active trials. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is Leflunomide in?

Leflunomide has been studied in two completed Phase 1 trials: NCT00834418, titled "Leflunomide 20 mg Tablets Under Fasting Conditions," which enrolled 84 healthy volunteers, and NCT00834405, titled "Leflunomide 20 mg Tablets, Non-Fasting," which enrolled 37 healthy volunteers. Both trials were conducted in the United States.
