Over the first 10 years, the partnership is expected to represent a potential commercial opportunity of approximately USD 80 million, based on projected demand across these markets. The agreement underscores Orchid Pharma’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the Latin American pharmaceutical market, leveraging Libra’s established presence and expertise in the region.
Manish Dhanuka, Managing Director of Orchid Pharma Limited, stated, ‘Extending Exblifep into Latin America is a priority for Orchid, and Libra is well placed to lead its introduction across these markets. Together, we aim to give clinicians in the region a new option for treating serious Gram-negative hospital infections.’ Carlos Scherschener, CEO of Laboratorio Libra S.A., added, ‘We are honored to partner with Orchid Pharma to bring Exblifep to Latin America, expanding access to an innovative therapeutic option for patients across the region while contributing to the response to the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance.’

Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Orchid Pharma Limited
Orchid Pharma Limited belongs to the Healthcare › Drug Manufacturers – Specialty & Generic sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.
Orchid falls 12.5% over three months and has not found a floor yet. Razor-thin margins below 5% make profitability extremely vulnerable — this business needs scale or pricing power urgently. No meaningful dividend — total return is entirely dependent on capital appreciation. The stock holds at 65% of its 52-week range with RSI at 36. In other words, neither side has a clear edge right now. The stock rises -12.5% in three months on 22.3% revenue growth. As a result, the market gives it more credit than the fundamentals strictly justify. Watch the next quarterly results. If growth accelerates, the move makes sense. If not, expect some gains to unwind. Check Fundamentals of Orchid Pharma Limited.

Sun Pharma shares long-term follow-up data on UNLOXCYT® at ESMO 2026, showing 34% CR in locally advanced disease.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (NSE: SUNPHARMA) announced today that it will present updated long-term efficacy and safety results from the locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (laCSCC) and metastatic CSCC (mCSCC) expansion cohorts from the pivotal CK-301-101 trial of UNLOXCYT® (cosibelimab-ipdl) at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress on October 24, 2026 in Madrid, Spain.
Key Findings from ESMO 2026 Presentation
The ESMO abstract expands the pivotal analysis to 205 patients across three advanced CSCC cohorts using centrally-reviewed data. Notably, 34% of patients with locally advanced disease achieved a complete response (CR), while 17%-21% of metastatic patients achieved a CR. The tolerability profile remained consistent with earlier analyses, with a low level of high-grade immune-related adverse events (irAEs).
Clinical Implications
These results underscore the potential for cosibelimab to deliver clinically meaningful and durable benefit for patients with advanced CSCC. The consistent benefit-risk profile over time, with maintained response rates and increasing proportion of complete responses, highlights the promising efficacy of UNLOXCYT® in treating advanced skin cancers.
Ahmad Naim, MD, Senior Vice President, North American Chief Medical Officer, Sun Pharma, emphasized, ‘These findings of improvements in clinical response and consistent safety profile of low irAEs over time support the unmet need for patients with advanced CSCC. And reflects Sun Pharma’s continued commitment to advancing care and providing innovative treatment options that address the needs of patients with difficult-to-treat skin cancers.’
