Sanofi Shares Fall After Company Reports Second Cancer Case in Trial -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-30

1039 GMT - Sanofi shares fall after the French pharmaceutical company reported a second case of a patient developing Kaposi's sarcoma, a type of cancer that affects the skin, in a late-stage study for experimental eczema treatment amlitelimab. "Kaposi's sarcoma occurs with other immunomodulators but in our view additional risk factors can be unfavorable if there are other treatment options that don't have those risks," analysts at UBS say in a note. Sanofi says amlitelimab continues to have potential to be a meaningful and convenient option for patients with atopic dermatitis, or eczema. The company reported the second Kaposi's sarcoma case at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology. It had previously disclosed a case when it released initial results from two amlitelimab phase 3 studies in January. Shares fall 2.15%. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
