CYP27B1 Inhibitors
1 drugsAbout CYP27B1
CYP27B1 is an enzyme crucial for vitamin D metabolism, catalyzing the conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol). This activation is essential for calcium homeostasis, bone health, and immune function.
CYP27B1 is a therapeutic target for conditions with impaired vitamin D activation. Currently, there is no genetic evidence available linking CYP27B1 to specific diseases.
CYP27B1 is targeted by one FDA-approved small molecule drug, RAYALDEE (EIRGEN), indicated for two conditions. EIRGEN is the only company with an approved drug for this target.
Strategic Insights
ℹ️ How we calculate- White space opportunity in Critically Ill with only 1 trials.
Top Drugs
EIRGEN is the only company with an approved drug targeting CYP27B1.
The lack of competition suggests a high barrier to entry or an unvalidated market.
Drug Modality Landscape

Drug Approval Timeline (2016 - 2016)
RAYALDEE was first approved in 2016 and remains the only approved drug.
The absence of recent approvals indicates a potentially saturated market or limited innovation in this area.

How We Calculate These Metrics
Target Attractiveness Score
A 0-100 score based on trial activity, sponsor diversity, and completion rates. Calculated from 15 clinical trials targeting CYP27B1.
Completion rate: Percentage of trials that reached their planned endpoint. Trials terminated early, withdrawn, or suspended are not counted—these often indicate safety issues, lack of efficacy, or strategic pivots.
- Highly Attractive (80+): High trial activity, many sponsors, strong completion rates
- Attractive (60-79): Good trial activity and validation
- Moderate (40-59): Moderate interest from sponsors
- Low (under 40): Limited trial activity or validation concerns
Strategic Insights
Auto-generated insights based on trial analytics including competition intensity, white space opportunities, modality shifts, and failure patterns. We analyze trial sponsors, phases, indications, and outcomes.
Risk Signals
- High Competition: Many sponsors competing for this target (may reduce market opportunity)
- High Failure Risk: Low trial completion rates suggest development challenges
- Low Validation: Limited trial activity or poor outcomes indicate uncertain viability
- White Space Available: Underexplored indications present opportunities
