New presentations for tildrakizumab-asmn explore real-world use in U.S. patients using Medicare New data specific to patients with skin of color expands evidence supporting strong efficacy and safety for clascosterone cream 1% Robust set of 19 presentations across dermatology and immunology portfolio, including additional data for deuruxolitinib, highlight commitment to improved patient outcomes and scientific excellence MUMBAI, India and PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 27, 2026 /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 the company will share 19 abstracts, including new clinical data, across its dermatology and immunology portfolio, at 2026 Winter Clinical Miami on February 27-March 1, 2026 in Aventura, Florida. The data presentations will include study results for several medications, including ILUMYA® (tildrakizumab-asmn), WINLEVI® (clascosterone cream 1%) and LEQSELVI™ (deuruxolitinib).
"The data we are sharing at Winter Clinical Miami reflect our patient-first focus on generating robust clinical and real‑world evidence for the treatment of alopecia areata, plaque psoriasis, and acne," said Ahmad Naim, MD, Senior Vice President and North American Chief Medical Officer, Sun Pharma. "Continued scientific evidence is essential to better inform clinical decision-making for dermatology clinicians." ILUMYA data to be presented at the conference include new real-world analyses examining biologic use and continuity of care in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, including older and clinically complex patient populations. Additional presentations evaluate real-world effectiveness and patient-reported outcomes across prior biologic experience and U.S. geographic regions, providing practical insight into treatment performance in routine dermatology practice. New, open-label, 52-week data from a pilot study evaluating WINLEVI in patients with skin of color demonstrated sustained improvement in acne severity with a consistent safety and tolerability profile, reinforcing WINLEVI as an appropriate option across the diversity of patients age 12 and older with acne vulgaris. In addition, pilot combination studies show that incorporating WINLEVI into multimodal acne treatment regimens provides benefit, further supporting its usage as a part of a regimen with other acne therapies. Notably, 10 abstracts include data showing that LEQSELVI enables early and sustained scalp hair regrowth in severe alopecia areata, with consistent benefits across key subgroups, including those with varying disease durations and eyebrow, eyelash and nail involvement. Additional findings from the company's landmark alopecia areata survey illuminate discrepancies between patient and clinical perspectives, particularly as it relates to clinical priorities, treatment awareness, and goal prioritization. The company will provide updates on the full set of data listed below onsite at 2026 Winter Clinical Miami.
About ILUMYA® ILUMYA (tildrakizumab-asmn) is a humanized lgG1/k monoclonal antibody designed to selectively bind to the p19 subunit of interleukin-23 (IL-23) and inhibit its interaction with the IL-23 receptor, leading to inhibition of the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. ILUMYA is indicated for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy, in the United States. ILUMYA has also been approved for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Australia and Japan, and under the brand name ILUMETRI® in Europe, where it is marketed by Almirall. INDICATIONS AND USAGE CONTRAINDICATIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Infections Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to prescribing ILUMYA in patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection. Instruct patients receiving ILUMYA to seek medical help if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a patient develops a clinically important or serious infection, or is not responding to standard therapy, closely monitor and consider discontinuation of ILUMYA until the infection resolves. Pretreatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis Immunizations Adverse Reactions Please see Full Prescribing Information. About LEQSELVI™ and alopecia areata LEQSELVI (deuruxolitinib) 8 mg tablets is an oral selective inhibitor of Janus kinases JAK1 and JAK2 approved for the treatment of adults with severe alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in partial or complete loss of hair on the scalp and body. Alopecia areata may affect up to 2.5% of the United States and global population during their lifetime.2,4 The scalp is the most commonly affected area, but any hair-bearing site can be affected alone or together with the scalp. Onset of the disease can occur throughout life and affects both women and men. Alopecia areata can be associated with serious psychological consequences, including anxiety and depression. There are currently limited approved treatment options available for alopecia areata. LEQSELVI Important Safety Information Please click here for full Prescribing Information Including BOXED WARNING and Medication Guide. Indications and Usage LEQSELVI (deuruxolitinib) is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adults with severe alopecia areata. Limitations of Use LEQSELVI is not recommended for use in combination with other JAK inhibitors, biologic immunomodulators, cyclosporine or other potent immunosuppressants. Contraindications LEQSELVI is contraindicated in patients who are CYP2C9 poor metabolizers or who are using moderate or strong CYP2C9 inhibitors. Warnings Serious Infections Increased risk of serious bacterial, fungal, viral and opportunistic infections including tuberculosis (TB) that may lead to hospitalization or death. Interrupt treatment with LEQSELVI if a serious infection occurs until the infection is controlled. Test for latent TB before and during therapy; treat latent TB prior to use. Monitor all patients for active TB during treatment, even patients with initial negative, latent TB test. Mortality Higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden cardiovascular death with another Janus kinase inhibitor (JAK) vs. TNF blockers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. LEQSELVI is not approved for use in RA patients. Malignancy Malignancies have occurred in patients treated with LEQSELVI. Higher rate of lymphomas and lung cancers with another JAK inhibitor vs. TNF blockers in RA patients. Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events Higher rate of MACE (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) with another Janus kinase inhibitor (JAK) vs. TNF blockers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Thrombosis Thrombosis, including PE, DVT & CVT, has occurred in patients treated with LEQSELVI. Increased incidence of pulmonary embolism, venous and arterial thrombosis with another JAK inhibitor vs. TNF blockers. Increased risk of serious adverse reactions in CYP2C9 poor metabolizers or with concomitant use ofmoderate or strong CYP2C9 inhibitors Do not treat patients who are CYP2C9 poor metabolizers or patients taking a moderate or strong CYP2C9 inhibitor with LEQSELVI.
