MUMBAI, India and PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (Reuters: SUN.BO, Bloomberg: SUNP IN, NSE: SUNPHARMA, BSE: 524715 (together with its subsidiaries and/or affiliated companies, "Sun Pharma") today announced it will present more than a dozen posters at the 44^th Annual Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, being held October 24-27, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The presentations will include data from across the Sun Pharma dermatology portfolio, including study results for LEQSELVI^™ (deuruxolitinib), WINLEVI^® (clascoterone), ILUMYA^® (tildrakizumab-asmn), ODOMZO^® (sonidegib) and LEVULAN^® KERASTICK^® (aminolevulinic acid HCl) + BLU-U^® (blue light photodynamic therapy).

"As an organization dedicated to supporting the dermatology community, the Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference offers a vitally important forum to present new data and highlight how Sun's innovative dermatology portfolio can support those living with alopecia areata, psoriasis, acne and other skin-related diseases," said Marek Honczarenko, MD, PhD, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Development at Sun Pharma. "We look forward to sharing data from across our portfolio with the dermatology research community and our esteemed industry colleagues."

Six abstracts, accepted for poster presentations, will highlight clinical efficacy and safety data of LEQSELVI™ (deuruxolitinib). Approved earlier this year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with severe alopecia areata, LEQSELVI^™ is an oral JAK inhibitor that interrupts the pathways thought to contribute to hair loss in severe AA and delivered statistically significant efficacy at 24 weeks across two Phase 3 clinical trials. LEQSELVI^™ data being presented at Fall Clinical showcase pooled long-term results for ongoing clinically meaningful improvements in scalp hair regrowth in adults with alopecia areata. Additionally, two posters will present patient and clinician preferences for the treatment of alopecia areata.

The WINLEVI^® poster presentations will include new data showing significant reductions in casual facial sebum levels from baseline, stability in the presence of other commonly prescribed acne medications, and efficacy and safety from a pilot study in patients with skin of color. The conference will also feature data from three additional WINLEVI^® studies.
