PDE3 Inhibitors
1 drugsAbout PDE3
Phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) is an enzyme that regulates intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP by hydrolyzing these cyclic nucleotides. This influences physiological processes like smooth muscle contraction, platelet aggregation, and cardiac function.
PDE3 is a target of interest for drug development due to its involvement in various physiological processes. Currently, there is no genetic evidence directly linking PDE3 to specific diseases.
There is one FDA-approved drug, OHTUVAYRE, targeting PDE3, a small molecule developed by Verona Pharma for respiratory conditions. OHTUVAYRE was first approved in 2024.

How We Calculate These Metrics
Target Attractiveness Score
A 0-100 score based on trial activity, sponsor diversity, and completion rates. Calculated from 20 clinical trials targeting PDE3.
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 Trials terminated early, withdrawn, or suspended are not counted—these often indicate safety issues, lack of efficacy, or strategic pivots.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
