Sun Pharma receives Australian TGA approval for ILUMYA

21 Sep 2018 Evaluate

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has received the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approval for its specialty product, ILUMYA (tildrakizumab) for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy.

ILUMYA selectively binds to the p19 subunit of IL-23 and inhibits its interaction with the IL23 receptor leading to inhibition of the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. ILUMYA is administered at a dose of 100 mg by subcutaneous injection every 12 weeks after the completion of initial doses at weeks 0 and 4. ILUMYA is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction to tildrakizumab or to any of the excipients in ILUMYA, and in patients with clinically important active infections, e.g. active tuberculosis.

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries is the world’s fourth largest specialty generic pharmaceutical company and India’s top pharmaceutical company.
