On the 19th, Shinpoong Pharmaceutical's stock price plunged sharply in early trading.


As of 9:38 a.m. that day, Shinpoong Pharmaceutical's stock was trading at 10,020 KRW, down 26.30% from the previous trading day.


The decline appears to be due to news that 'Piramex,' a malaria treatment developed by Shinpoong Pharmaceutical as a COVID-19 treatment, failed to prove efficacy in Phase 3 clinical trials.



Shinpoong Pharmaceutical stated that it is currently conducting a detailed analysis of Piramex's efficacy and safety and will decide on future development directions based on the results.
