SPARC Share Price: Sun Pharma Subsidiary’s Stock Nosedives Over 20 Per Cent, Know Why

Sun Pharma Advanced Research News: Shares of Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company nosedived 20 per cent on June 4, 2025 to trade at Rs 156.14 apiece on the NSE. Notably, the stock was locked at its lower circuit limit in early trade. Shares of the pharmaceutical company fell after the company announced the top-line results from the second phase clinical trials of its psoriasis treatment drug.

On June 3, the pharmaceutical company had informed the exchanges about the results of the Phase 2 clinical trials of Vibozilimod (SCD-044), its psoriasis and atopic dermatitis treatment drug. The company mentioned in a release that the drug did not meet the goal of 75 per cent improvement in PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) score during the Phase 2 trials.

“....announced the top-line results from the Phase 2 clinical trials evaluating Vibozilimod (SCD-044) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Psoriasis (SOLARES PsO) and Atopic Dermatitis (SOLARES AD). SPIL informed that both SOLARES PsO and SOLARES AD studies did not meet the primary endpoint of 75 per cent improvement in PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) score (> PASI75) at Week 16 and 75 per cent improvement in EASI (Eczema Area and Severity Index) score (>EASI75) at Week 16 respectively,” the company said in a filing.

The stock declined as D-Street factored in the impact of the announcement by the pharma company. The company mentioned in the release that both SPARC and SPIL will evaluate the appropriate next steps for SCD-044.
