Sun Pharma Advanced Slips 5%. Here's Why

Moving on to news from the pharma sector, Shares of Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company (SPARC) fell 5% to hit the lower circuit on 10 April after the Mumbai-based pharma company said it was abandoning Phase 2 study on Vodobatinib for Parkinson's.

The PROSEEK study was a global trial that enrolled 513 patients with early Parkinson's disease from the United States, Europe, and India.

It was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the selective c-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor in patients with early Parkinson's disease.

The primary goal of the study was to show an improvement in the symptoms, as measured by the Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III.

However, the interim analysis, based on data from 442 patients who completed 40 weeks of treatment, failed to demonstrate the superiority of Vodobatinib compared to placebo in the primary endpoint.

It plans to complete the full analysis of clinical outcomes and correlative biomarker data in the coming months.

The pay-in date of the bonds is 16 April. Pay-in date is the date when the exchange of money and bonds takes place between issuers and investors.
