Sun Pharma & Philogen Complete Enrollment for Phase III FIBROSARC Trial

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited and Philogen S.p.A. have reported the successful conclusion of patient enrollment in the Phase III FIBROSARC trial for Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS). All current Fibromun trials are progressing according to their anticipated schedules.

Dario Neri, CEO, Philogen said, "We are highly encouraged by the progress of Fibromun’s pivotal trials in both Soft Tissue Sarcoma and Glioblastoma. In October 2024, the program entered a strategic commercial partnership with Sun Pharma, a leading multinational pharmaceutical company. The Soft Tissue Sarcoma trials are proceeding as planned across Europe and the United States. Key readouts from our most advanced studies—Phase III FIBROSARC and Phase II FLASH—are anticipated between March and June 2025. These results represent critical milestones for Philogen, as Fibromun has the potential to become our second product to successfully complete multinational clinical trials with registration potential."

"We are also seeing faster-than-expected patient enrollment in the Glioblastoma trials. The Phase II GLIOSTAR trial, originally projected to complete enrollment by December 2025, is now expected to conclude recruitment in Q2 2025. Philogen remains committed to advancing innovative therapies and delivering meaningful outcomes for patients worldwide,” added Neri.

Dilip Shanghvi, Chairman and Managing Director, Sun Pharma said, “We look forward to the Fibromun readouts over the next few months. Fibromun has the potential as a valuable treatment option for soft-tissue sarcomas and other cancers with high unmet medical needs. The candidate aligns well with our current portfolio in skin cancers.”
