The Managing Director reports on the company’s recent achievements, which include regulatory approvals for new products and facility inspections with positive outcomes. They emphasize efforts to streamline R&D spending for cost savings without compromising niche product development. Additionally, the company has launched a high-concentration Adalimumab product in India and initiated phase 1 trials for recombinant Albumin, signaling their expansion into biological offerings. The construction of a large-scale fermenting facility is in progress and expected to be completed by March 2024.
Operational Efficiency : The company has been focused on improving operational efficiencies and strengthening its overall business operations. These efforts have been successful, leading to continuous improvements in the company’s performance.
Quality and Compliance : The Jadcherla facility has recently received approvals from various regulatory authorities, including UAE GMP approval, Australia GMP approval, and ANVISA Brazil approval. Importantly, these approvals were granted with no observations, indicating high quality and compliance standards. The USFDA inspection, conducted “for cause,” concluded with 10 observations, but notably, none of these observations relate to ‘data integrity’ or have been listed as ‘repeat observations,’ which is a positive outcome.
API Business : In the API business, they have successfully completed a regulatory audit by PMDA Japan, with no major or critical observations for their API facility. Their Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) business has been well-received by customers and is on a growth trajectory. Furthermore, they are exploring products in the non-oncology API segment that have high growth potential or can serve as import substitutes.
Biological Offerings : On the biological front, the company has launched a high-concentration Adalimumab product in India under the brand name “ORIADALI™.” This product is aimed at enhancing patient comfort in treating Rheumatoid Arthritis. Leveraging the approval and launch in India, the company plans to expand into international markets with this product. They have also initiated phase 1 trials for recombinant Albumin, representing a significant step in this niche opportunity. Additionally, the construction of a large-scale fermenting facility is underway and expected to be completed by March 2024.
