Sun Pharma gets exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize Philogen anti-cancer immunotherapy Fibromun

Prof. Dr. Dario Neri, CEO and CSO of Philogen, commented, “We are pleased to extend our collaboration with Sun Pharma, a leading global pharmaceutical company, from our existing partnership on Nidlegy to Fibromun. This collaboration will focus on the global commercialization of Fibromun, a new immunotherapy that has the potential to serve patients with soft tissue sarcoma and certain malignant forms of brain tumors (e.g., glioblastoma), for which limited therapeutic alternatives exist. Our group has published data reflecting the promising therapeutic activity of Fibromun in glioblastoma, inducing long-lasting anti-tumor responses in a subset of patients. We have also announced that an independent monitoring board has evaluated safety and efficacy data of the pre-planned interim analysis of our Phase III clinical trial in soft tissue sarcoma and recommended continuing the study as planned by the protocol. In view of these promising developments, both companies are committed to the development and commercialization of Fibromun, making it widely available to patients who may benefit from it.”

Previously, the two companies announced that on May 30, 2023, they entered into an Exclusive Distribution, License, and Supply Agreement for commercializing the specialty product Nidlegy™ in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The first Marketing Authorization Application for Nidlegy™ has been submitted to European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of locally advanced, fully resectable melanoma in the neoadjuvant setting.
