Dr. Navid adds: “We believe that the recent update for Anifrolumab is positive for the Lupus field, but also reminds us that LupuzorTM could represent a highly successful product if it successfully navigates a second Phase III clinical trial.”

“Now that we understand the target patient group of Lupus patients who respond best to the drug, we see the path to market as being de-risked."

Shares in ImmuPharma fell dramatically after its Phase III Trial last April failed to meet its primary endpoint, but confirmed the safety profile of Lupuzor™, with zero serious adverse events reported.

The fact that Lupuzor is a late stage asset, with a “unique mechanism of action", The Life Sciences Division view it as an important potential treatment for Lupus patients.
