This clinical trial enrolled total 600 patients across multiple sites globally (NCT05774639). The Phase 1 PK/PD study in healthy volunteers was successfully concluded in June 2023 (NCT05413161).
“We are delighted to announce the completion of patient enrollment for our global Phase III trial of ADL018, our most advanced biosimilar candidate following the FDA approval of Releuko® and Fylnetra® in 2022. This milestone underscores our commitment to advancing our biosimilar pipeline and providing cost-effective therapeutic options,” said Dr. Sandeep Gupta, Chief Executive Officer of Kashiv.
“The completion of enrollment for our Phase III trial of ADL018 is a significant achievement for Kashiv, highlighting exceptional capabilities of our team.

About ADL018
ADL018, a humanized monoclonal antibody designed to inhibit the binding of IgE to FcεR on the surface of mast cells and basophils, is being developed as a biosimilar to XOLAIR® (omalizumab), an injectable prescription medicine approved to treat CSU in individuals aged 12 and older who continue to have hives uncontrolled by H1 antagonists. Omalizumab is also approved for treating moderate to severe persistent asthma in individuals aged 6 and older whose asthma symptoms are not well controlled with inhaled corticosteroids, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in individuals aged 18 and older, and IgE-mediated food allergy in adult and pediatric patients aged 1 year and older.
ADL018 matches the pharmaceutical presentations, dosage strength, route of administration, and dosing regimen of the U.S. and EU-approved omalizumab. According to IQVIA, worldwide sales of XOLAIR® in the twelve months preceding March 2024 were approximately $4.5 billion.
