Sun Pharma's ILUMYA delivers positive psoriatic arthritis trial results
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has announced that its psoriasis drug ILUMYA (tildrakizumab 100 mg) delivered positive results in two late-stage clinical trials for active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), potentially paving the way for regulatory filings in the United States. The Phase 3 INSPIRE-1 and INSPIRE-2 studies evaluated the efficacy and safety of ILUMYA over a 24-week period. According to the company, both trials achieved statistically significant improvements in ACR20 response rates—a standard measure of arthritis treatment effectiveness—compared with placebo at Week 24. INSPIRE-1 included patients with prior exposure to anti-TNF therapies, while INSPIRE-2 focused on anti-TNF naïve patients. More than 800 adult participants were enrolled across clinical sites in the US, Europe, and Asia. ILUMYA was administered at Week 0 and every 12 weeks thereafter, with no induction dose. Consistent safety profile supports regulatory case Sun Pharma stated that the safety outcomes in the psoriatic arthritis trials were consistent with ILUMYA's established safety profile from earlier studies in plaque psoriasis. No new safety signals were identified. ILUMYA is currently approved in the US and other countries for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adults. Its use in psoriatic arthritis remains investigational and has not yet been evaluated by regulatory authorities. Detailed results from the INSPIRE studies will be presented at upcoming medical conferences and submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals. Targeting IL-23 in chronic inflammatory pathways ILUMYA is a monoclonal antibody that targets the p19 subunit of interleukin-23 (IL-23), thereby inhibiting inflammatory pathways associated with chronic autoimmune conditions. Common adverse reactions reported in previous studies include upper respiratory infections, injection-site reactions, and diarrhoea. The drug carries warnings related to hypersensitivity, infections, and tuberculosis risk. Psoriatic arthritis affects an estimated 2.4 million people in the United States. Approximately one-third of psoriasis patients may develop the joint condition, though many cases remain undiagnosed. Strategic pipeline strengthens global presence Sun Pharma is India's largest pharmaceutical company and one of the world's leading generic drug manufacturers. The company operates in over 100 countries and has a growing specialty portfolio in dermatology, ophthalmology, and onco-dermatology.

Sun Pharma announces top-line results of tildrakizumab 100 mg Phase 3 studies
For treatment of active psoriatic arthritis Sun Pharmaceutical Industries announced top-line results from two Phase 3 clinical studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab 100 mg (ILUMYA) administered over 24 weeks for treatment of active psoriatic arthritis. Treatment with tildrakizumab 100 mg (ILUMYA) resulted in greater improvements in PsA signs and symptoms at Week 24 compared to treatment with placebo. Both the INSPIRE-1 and INSPIRE-2 studies achieved the primary endpoint, with a higher proportion of patients in the INSPIRE-1 and INSPIRE-2 studies treated with tildrakizumab achieving ACR20 responses at week 24, compared to those receiving placebo (p < 0.05). "We are excited to share that both the INSPIRE-1 and INSPIRE-2 clinical trials have successfully met their primary endpoints. These top-line results reinforce the therapeutic potential of ILUMYA as a treatment option for patients with active psoriatic arthritis. We extend our sincere gratitude to the patients, healthcare professionals and administrators whose contributions made the studies possible. We look forward to sharing the complete clinical data in the near future, said Marek Honczarenko, MD, PhD, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Specialty Development at Sun Pharma.

Sun Pharma reports positive results from Phase 3 trials for ILUMYA
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has shared encouraging top-line results from two (Phase 3) clinical trials evaluating its biologic drug tildrakizumab 100 mg, marketed as ILUMYA®, for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The studies, named INSPIRE-1 and INSPIRE-2, tested ILUMYA over a 24-week period. Patients who received ILUMYA showed significant improvements in symptoms of psoriatic arthritis compared to those who received a placebo. Both trials successfully met their primary goal—a higher proportion of patients treated with ILUMYA achieved ACR20 responses, a standard measure used to assess improvement in joint disease, by Week 24. The results were statistically significant. On the safety front, the drug performed as expected. There were no new safety concerns, and the data remained in line with ILUMYA's existing safety record. The drug is already approved to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, and these latest findings suggest it may have potential in addressing PsA as well. However, it's important to note that ILUMYA is not yet approved for psoriatic arthritis, and its use for this indication has not been reviewed or authorized by health regulators. Marek Honczarenko, MD, PhD, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Specialty Development at Sun Pharma, stated, 'We are excited to share that both the INSPIRE-1 and INSPIRE-2 clinical trials have successfully met their primary endpoints. These top-line results reinforce the therapeutic potential of ILUMYA as a treatment option for patients with active psoriatic arthritis. We extend our sincere gratitude to the patients, healthcare professionals and administrators whose contributions made the studies possible. We look forward to sharing the complete clinical data in the near future.' Sun Pharma plans to present the full results from these studies at upcoming medical conferences and publish them in peer-reviewed journals.

Tariff delay sparks relief rally in Indian pharma stocks: Sudip Bandyopadhyay
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel "The uncertainty is not around demand or the price hike but the uncertainties are company specific. JSW Steel , we will definitely want to hear what is their strategy about Bhushan Steel, that is a huge problem which has been created in the recent past post the Supreme Court order and one needs to understand how that will get disentangled," says Sudip Bandyopadhyay , Group Chairman, Inditrade Capital Well, of course, what has changed significantly is the tariff announcement by President Trump. There was a sword hanging on pharma sector and at different levels different figures were being thrown around. But finally, when the announcement came, it talks about very high 200% or whatever but it is after two obviously people immediately started talking about the fact that probably it will never come because if something gets pushed back by two years obviously there is no threat of imminent tariff on pharma products, so that was a fantastic news for most Indian pharma companies because most of them or at least a lot of them have significant business in do manufacture in India and supply to US, so they would have been adversely affected by the tariff and since that is not happening, that was the point from where pharma actually we started seeing significant momentum in largecap and some midcap pharma companies. As far as overall pharma is concerned Sun Pharma does look good because some of the molecules which they were expected to commercialise a bit later in the year is getting preponed and the commercial launch is happening in US very-very soon and that kind of enthused the investors about Sun they have significant business in US as well as India and both the markets are expected to do good. The pricing pressure on generics is, of course, there but that has kind of reached a level where we have seen the course, Glenmark did a landmark deal and it is not only for Glenmark, for the entire Indian pharmaceutical industry this was a landmark deal with R&D getting established and getting properly valued by global pharma players, so this was definitely landmark and of course, Glenmark investors were rewarded and will be rewarded further I am sure in terms of dividend or other some kind of payouts, so that is as far as Glenmark and Sun Pharma is by and large Indian pharma can breathe a sigh of relief post the tariffs sword going away and it is back to business as usual and considering that most of the sectors are kind of still awaiting to know about the tariff and its implications, pharma is one sector where that has been taken care of. Hence, pharma is rallying, that is my it is definitely positive for the overall steel industry. We have to remember that globally also demand for steel is going up and naturally price hike in the domestic scenario is also expected. The uncertainty is not around demand or the price hike but the uncertainties are company specific. JSW Steel , we will definitely want to hear what is their strategy about Bhushan Steel, that is a huge problem which has been created in the recent past post the Supreme Court order and one needs to understand how that will get is very critical for JSW Steel at this stage. Of course, coking coal prices of the entire industry will be interesting to understands the trend and what the management commentary is for multiple companies not only JSW Steel because that is a very-very critical ingredient as far as steel making is and large, we believe that the industry margins would have improved in this current quarter for which results will come out. Top line depends on company specific like JSW Steel had a scheduled maintenance, so obviously the volume will be low, but the margin improvement will be visible.
