Shilpa Medicare Limited reports landmark Phase‑III success for OERIS® and cements its sustainability credentials

Shilpa Medicare Limited (BSE: 530549, NSE: SHILPAMED) announced on 11 November 2025 that its fourth complex clinical program, SMLINJ011, has achieved all primary and secondary endpoints in a Phase‑III study of OERIS™ (ondansetron extended‑release injection) for chemotherapy‑induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The trial demonstrated superior convenience, robust efficacy, and excellent safety compared with conventional ondansetron injections. The once‑weekly dosing schedule aligns with the company’s broader portfolio of oncology APIs and supports a differentiated product pipeline that could capture a substantial share of the global CINV market.

Implications for Shilpa Medicare’s growth strategy

  • Portfolio Expansion: OERIS™ complements the firm’s existing oncology offerings—such as anastrozole, axitinib, and cabazitaxel—and enhances the company’s positioning as a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) in the oncology space.
  • Revenue Potential: The Phase‑III approval pathway accelerates the commercial launch timeline, potentially generating new revenue streams before the company’s current APIs reach maturity.
  • Investor Outlook: With a market cap of ₹72.1 billion and a close price of ₹382.7, the company’s valuation sits on the higher end of the sector. A successful launch of OERIS™ is likely to justify a premium PE ratio, which presently stands at 149.85.

Sustainability milestone

On the same day, Shilpa Pharma Lifesciences Limited—an important subsidiary of Shilpa Medicare—was awarded the Gold Medal by EcoVadis for excellence in sustainability. The award, based on a score of 82/100, recognizes the company’s robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. This accolade reinforces Shilpa Medicare’s commitment to responsible operations across its manufacturing footprint in India, the United States, and Europe. It also positions the firm favorably with investors increasingly attentive to ESG performance.

Forward‑looking assessment

The confluence of a Phase‑III success for a high‑impact oncology product and a top sustainability award suggests that Shilpa Medicare is poised to strengthen its competitive advantage on multiple fronts. The company’s diversified API portfolio, combined with its contract manufacturing capabilities and a clear focus on sustainability, should drive both short‑term revenue acceleration and long‑term value creation for shareholders.
