  • time3 Min
  • share

Summary

On October 1, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and Philogen S.p.A have announced a global licensing agreement to commercialise Philogen’s specialty product, FIBROMUN (L19TNF). FIBROMUN is an innovative anti-cancer immunotherapy currently being studied for treating soft tissue sarcoma and glioblastoma.

Sun Pharma Partners with Philogen to Commercialise FIBROMUN

Key Takeaways from Sun Pharma Commercialisation of FIBROMUN:

  • Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and Philogen S.p.A have entered into a global licensing agreement for Philogen’s specialty product, FIBROMUN (L19TNF).
  • FIBROMUN is an innovative anti-cancer immunotherapy being studied for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and glioblastoma.
  • Philogen will conduct ongoing clinical trials, seek regulatory approval, and manufacture the product, while Sun Pharma will manage all commercialisation efforts.
  • The two companies will share the financial benefits in a 55:45 ratio, with Sun Pharma receiving the larger share.

Under this agreement, Sun Pharma will have exclusive rights to market FIBROMUN worldwide. Philogen will continue its pivotal clinical trials, seek marketing authorisation from regulatory bodies, and produce the product. Sun Pharma will handle all commercialisation efforts, and both companies will share the financial benefits in a 55:45 ratio, favouring Sun Pharma.

Dilip Shanghvi, Chairman and Managing Director of Sun Pharma, said, “Fibromun’s progress through development has been quite encouraging and it has potential to be an important option for treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas and other cancers with significant unmet medical needs.”

This agreement builds on their previous partnership for another product, Nidlegy™, which is also being developed for cancer treatment.

About Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited:

Sun Pharma is a leading global company in specialty generics, offering a wide range of products in specialty, generics, and consumer healthcare. It is the largest pharmaceutical company in India and a top generic drug provider in the US and other emerging markets. Sun Pharma's specialty portfolio includes innovative products in dermatology and oncology, which make up over 18% of its sales. The company operates manufacturing facilities across six continents and provides high-quality medicines trusted by healthcare professionals and consumers in over 100 countries.

About Philogen Group:

Philogen is a biotechnology company based in Italy and Switzerland, focused on creating new drugs for serious diseases. The company's mission is to find, develop, and sell innovative medicines for conditions with significant unmet medical needs. Philogen uses unique technologies to identify specific substances that target disease-related proteins, along with expertise in drug development and manufacturing. While many of its products are aimed at treating cancer, the company’s targeting methods could also be used for other diseases, including certain chronic inflammatory conditions.

About Fibromun:

Fibromun is a biopharmaceutical product developed by Philogen for treating advanced soft tissue sarcoma and glioblastoma. It combines the L19 antibody with Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF). The L19 antibody specifically targets a protein called Fibronectin, which is found in tumours but not in most healthy tissues. TNF is a substance that can kill cancer cells, and the L19 antibody helps deliver it directly to tumours. Fibromun is given through an intravenous infusion and is currently in late-stage clinical trials for its potential use in treating these cancers. It may also be effective against other types of cancer, such as lung, breast, colon, and prostate cancers.
