Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals (ASX:PAR) is set to progress participants through the day 112 follow-up period for the phase three trial evaluating injectable pentosan polysulfate sodium for the treatment of pain associated with knee osteoarthritis in the June quarter, which is required for inclusion in the interim analysis dataset, according to a Monday Australian bourse filing.

The independent statistical analysis results for the data set are expected around August. Timing remains subject to the scheduling and review processes of independent third parties, and there is a reasonable likelihood that final interim outcomes may extend into September, it cautioned.

The interim analysis is expected to provide the first phase three evaluation of efficacy and safety for injectable pentosan polysulfate sodium in knee osteoarthritis. Primary endpoint top-line results are expected in the March 2027 quarter.

Its shares fell 14% in recent trading on Monday, reaching their lowest point in over a year.
