    Expert Take on CEP 2.0: A New Era of Transparency in Pharmaceutical Regulation

    micExpert Take on CEP 2.0: A New Era of Transparency in Pharmaceutical Regulation

    At the recent EDQM conference “Certified for Success: Using the CEP Procedure to Elevate Quality and Drive Trust,” regulatory leaders gathered to discuss one of the most significant shifts in European pharmaceutical oversight recently– the transition to CEP 2.0. In the following article, Karina Boszko, Head of Global Regulatory Affairs and Customer Technical Service at Polpharma API, shares her perspective on the new framework and its impact on transforming regulatory strategies for manufacturers worldwide. A strategic shift beyond just compliance. CEP 2.0 is more than a routine update. It represents a fundamental change in how pharmaceutical companies approach transparency, lifecycle management, and international expansion. Rather than focusing solely on documentation, the framework encourages organizations to treat regulatory excellence as a strategic differentiator, shifting the mindset from static compliance to continuous lifecycle oversight. Regulatory alignment thus becomes a living process that evolves with the product, data, and technology. Embedding this approach across teams will foster a culture of iterative improvement, innovation, and stronger organizational resilience. For many manufacturers, however, this will require introducing significant internal changes, from documentation practices to cross-functional collaboration. CEP 2.0 means faster timelines and higher predictability. But only if your team is ready. One of the most anticipated benefits of CEP 2.0 is more predictable review timelines and consistent submissions. However, leveraging these advantages depends heavily on industry readiness. Regulatory teams must adapt to more streamlined, data-driven processes and ensure that digital tools, training, and workflows support accelerated operations. Organizations that modernize will see multiple operational benefits early, including faster project completion, reduced rework, and quicker access to key markets as standardized documentation and cohesive global expectations will make previously complex or "slow” markets more accessible. For companies pursuing international expansion, CEP 2.0 provides a clearer path to global approvals, cross-market consistency, and enhanced competitiveness. Balancing challenges with opportunity. Despite its promise, the transition to CEP 2.0 is not without challenges. Data privacy, operational costs, supply chain complexity, and pressure on low-margin APIs remain key industry concerns that require striking a balance between stringent compliance and long-term sustainability. Still, companies that efficiently integrate regulatory requirements into scalable operations will not only demonstrate the maturity of their quality systems but also build trust externally, strengthening their reputation and differentiating their business in an increasingly competitive market. Looking ahead to a more collaborative future. CEP 2.0 positions the pharmaceutical sector for a future where regulatory excellence drives global competitiveness. Transparency, harmonization, and a lifecycle approach will increasingly define market leaders. The framework’s success, however, requires ongoing dialogue with regulators. Clear, practical guidance from the EDQM, combined with active feedback from manufacturers, is essential. The more open the collaboration, the more effectively CEP 2.0 will support innovation, quality, and patient safety. The question for every organization is how to approach this moment: as a compliance burden, or as a strategic opportunity to elevate quality, accelerate growth, and build long-term trust.

    FDA approvals drop 24% in H1 2025; GSK’s UTI med, Vertex’s non-opioid painkiller lead pack of first-in-class meds

    FDA approvals drop 24% in H1 2025; GSK’s UTI med, Vertex’s non-opioid painkiller lead pack of first-in-class meds

    It has been a turbulent year for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), marked by reductions in both staff and budget, shake-ups at the top and a reduction in inspections. This upheaval has clearly impacted the functioning of the agency, with reports of missed deadlines and reduced responsiveness. This disruption resulted in a slowdown in new drug approvals in the first half of 2025 (H1 2025), as opposed to the same period last year. Incidentally, drug approvals in H1 2024 were also down by 19 percent compared to H1 2023. FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 16 novel drugs in H1 2025, down from 21 in H1 2024, a decline of nearly 24 percent. Of these, nine were small molecules and seven were biologics. The period saw eight first-in-class therapies get CDER’s approval, as opposed to 17 in H1 2024. FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) approved seven biologics in H1 2025, compared to eight in the same period last year. In comparison, both Health Canada and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) reported a strong rebound in approvals and authorizations, respectively. Health Canada approved 20 drugs in H1 2025, as opposed to 10 in H1 2024. Similarly, EMA authorized 19 new therapies in H1 2025, compared to 15 in H1 2024. Notably, EMA’s pending decisions increased to 25 in H1 2025, from 14 in the same period last year, while conditional authorizations remained static at five. This underscores EMA’s active regulatory pipeline, suggesting that more drugs could be approved in Europe soon.   View New Drug Approvals in H1 2025 with Estimated Sales (Free Excel Available) Vertex’s non-opioid painkiller, GSK’s antibiotic for UTI, Merck’s RSV antibody bag FDA nods Oncology remained the single largest category in H1 2025 with seven new drugs being approved by the FDA, followed by four rare diseases and disorders and as many infections and infective diseases.  The eight drugs that were designated first-in-class in H1 2025 are: Journavx (Suzetrigine), Imaavy (nipocalimab), Emrelis (telisotuzumab vedotin), Blujepa (gepotidacin mesylate), Qfitlia (fitusiran), Avmapki Fakzynja Co-Pack (avutometinib potassium/defactinib hydrochloride), Tryptyr (acoltremon), and Andembry (garadacimab). In January, a new class of non-opioid pain therapy made a debut — FDA approved Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ Journavx (suzetrigine). This first-in-class oral analgesic could bring in US$ 2.9 billion in sales for Vertex by 2030. The half year also saw a new oral antibiotic — GSK’s Blujepa (gepotidacin) — for treating uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) bag FDA approval. This is the first new antibiotic for uUTIs in nearly three decades. It treats infections caused by resistant pathogens such as E. coli and K. pneumoniae. In June, Merck’s Enflonsia (clesrovimab), a long-acting monoclonal antibody, won FDA approval to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease in neonates and infants entering their first RSV season. A single 105 mg dose provides protection for about five months, the length of a typical RSV season. Enflonsia could bring in US$844 million in annual sales by 2030.   View New Drug Approvals in H1 2025 with Estimated Sales (Free Excel Available)  FDA approves four meds for rare diseases, including SpringWorks’ Gomekli, Novartis’ Vanrafia In H1 2024, rare genetic diseases had witnessed some significant approvals. The trend continued in H1 2025. In February, Gomekli (mirdametinib), developed by SpringWorks Therapeutics, became the first approved therapy for neurofibromatosis type 1 (a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerve tissues) in adult and pediatric patients who have symptomatic plexiform neurofibromas (benign, complex nerve tumors) not amenable to complete resection. Analysts expect peak sales of around US$ 0.8 billion by 2030. Post this approval, SpringWorks got acquired by Merck KGaA for approximately US$ 3.9 billion. The same month, Ono Pharma-owned Deciphera’s Romvimza (vimseltinib) became the first oral therapy approved for another rare disease known as symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor. This is a benign but aggressive growth that can be painful. This new drug offers patients an option beyond surgery. In March, Sanofi’s Qfitlia (fitusiran) was approved for routine prophylaxis in hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors. And in April, Novartis’ Vanrafia (atrasentan) was granted accelerated approval for IgA nephropathy (a chronic autoimmune kidney disease), which is at the risk of rapid progression. Vanrafia could bring in sales of over US$ 735 million by 2030. Johnson & Johnson secured approval for Imaavy (nipocalimab-aahu) for generalized myasthenia gravis (a chronic autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness) in adults and adolescents. Imaavy’s sales could cross US$1.17 billion by 2030. Rare diseases continue to attract regulatory attention, with the trend carrying into the current quarter. July witnessed two noteworthy rare-disease approvals — Ekterly (garadacimab), CSL’s once-monthly prophylactic treatment for hereditary angioedema (a genetic disorder that causes recurrent episodes of swellings), and Sephience (pegvaliase-abcx), BioMarin’s new therapy for phenylketonuria (a rare metabolic disorder).   View New Drug Approvals in H1 2025 with Estimated Sales (Free Excel Available)  FDA greenlights new oncology therapies, including Astra’s Datroway, AbbVie’s Emrelis The field of oncology saw some notable new drug approvals. In January, Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan), an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developed by AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo, was granted approval for adults with unresectable or metastatic, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Later, in June, the FDA granted accelerated approval  to AstraZeneca;s Datroway for adults with locally advanced or metastatic, EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. The drug’s peak annual sales are projected at about US$ 4.2 billion by 2030. In May, Emrelis (telisotuzumab vedotin-tllv), AbbVie’s ADC was granted FDA’s accelerated approval. Emrelis treats locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) characterized by significantly increased levels of the c-Met protein in cancer cells. FDA also approved a companion diagnostic test — Roche's Ventana — in May to determine the c-Met protein biomarker status in order to identify patients eligible for Emrelis.  The same month, FDA also granted accelerated approval to Verastem’s Avmapki Fakzynja Co-pack, a dual oral therapy for adults with KRAS‑mutated recurrent low‑grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC). This novel regimen combines two inhibitors — avutometinib and defactinib — to disrupt critical signaling pathways that fuel tumor growth. In ophthalmology, Alcon re-entered the prescription pharmaceutical market with Tryptry (acoltremon), a first-in-class TRPM8 agonist for dry eye disease, which stimulates corneal nerves to increase tear production.   View New Drug Approvals in H1 2025 with Estimated Sales (Free Excel Available)  Our view The changes in the FDA are clearly having a far-reaching impact on the global pharmaceutical industry. There have been reports of drugmakers losing confidence in the FDA, which has been a gold standard for drug regulation. Some American biotechs are shifting early trials outside of the US. With EMA and Health Canada authorizing/approving a larger number of drugs in H1 2025, we do see some changes underway that may eventually reshape drug development.

    CDMO Activity Tracker: Veranova, Carbogen lead ADC investments; Axplora, Polfa Tarchomin, Famar expand European footprint

    During the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) made substantial investments in specialized therapeutic manufacturing. The quarter also saw CDMOs pursue high-value, complex manufacturing niches, particularly in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), cell and gene therapies (CGTs) and oligonucleotides.Alongside these trends, Q2 also saw CDMOs strengthen their footprint in the United States amid concerns over rising tariffs and unpredictable trade policies being enforced by the Trump administration.Regeneron Pharmaceuticals committed over US$ 3 billion through a 10-year agreement with Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies to nearly double its US manufacturing capacity for biologics. Under this agreement, Fujifilm will manufacture and supply drug products for Regeneron at its large-scale facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina.Thermo Fisher Scientific announced plans to invest an additional US$ 2 billion in the US over four years, reinforcing its manufacturing and R&D capabilities. With 64 facilities spread across 37 states, Thermo Fisher aims to bolster American innovation and competitiveness. Similarly, Piramal Pharma announced a US$ 90 million investment plan for expanding two facilities in the US, thereby bringing its total investment in the country to US$ 570 million. View CDMO Activity Tracker for Q2 2025 (Free Excel Available)Veranova, Carbogen lead ADC wave; Axplora doubles down on HPAPI production in ItalyThe quarter saw substantial investments in ADC manufacturing. Veranova announced a US$ 20 million investment in bioconjugation development and cGMP manufacturing capacity at its Devens, Massachusetts campus. With this investment, Veranova will be able to provide a more comprehensive suite of services to its partners developing ADCs and other bioconjugates. Veranova’s total investment in the Devens facility now stands at over US$ 50 million. Swiss CDMO Carbogen announced a US$ 31 million co-investment with an unnamed Japanese investor to expand its capabilities across its Aarau and Neuland (Switzerland) facilities. The facility will address increasing demand for complex and high-value compounds such as ADC drug linkers.Axplora announced a further €35 million (US$ 41 million) expansion of its Farmabios site in Italy, doubling the facility to approximately 108,000 square meters by mid-2026. This investment raises its total spend on the site to over €80 million (US$ 94.05 million) since 2019, supporting the production of highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs). Farmabios now stands as a key hub in Axplora’s global CDMO network.Polish pharmaceutical manufacturer Polfa Tarchomin is positioning itself as a significant player in the European CDMO market through its investment in the Center for Development and Production of Highly Potent Drugs. This 12,000 square meter facility has two state-of-the-art production lines designed for filling vials and pre-filled syringes with an annual capacity of 26 million product units.Skyepharma’s projected annual revenues from oncology-linked activities touched €10 million (US$ 11.2 million). The CDMO’s facility in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier is equipped to handle cytotoxic and cytostatic compounds, and is one of the few facilities in France capable of managing HPAPIs for oral anticancer treatments. View CDMO Activity Tracker for Q2 2025 (Free Excel Available) Athena acquires Medipha Santé, Famar buys MiP Pharma’s German site to strengthen European footprintDuring the quarter, several CDMOs enhanced their strategic capabilities through M&As. Athena Pharmaceutiques acquired  Medipha Santé to build a fully integrated pharmaceutical services platform in Europe. Based in Paris, Athena has strengthened its commercial and regulatory toolbox by bringing aboard Medipha Santé’s 35-strong team, which supports over 100 partner organizations and files approximately 350 dossiers annually with ANSM and other European agencies. With this integration, Athena positions itself as a one-stop CDMO partner.With the acquisition of MiP Pharma’s sterile manufacturing site in Homburg, Germany, the Famar Group has expanded its capabilities in aseptic and lyophilized fill-and-finish operations. The acquisition has strengthened Famar’s position in sterile drug manufacturing. The CDMO now has seven manufacturing facilities in Europe.PCI Pharma Services’ acquisition of Ajinomoto Althea has established a world-class, large-scale manufacturing hub in the San Diego region with state-of-the-art aseptic facilities for prefilled syringes, cartridges and high-potent formulations such as ADCs. PCI Pharma is now amongst the few US-based CDMOs capable of comprehensive ADC manufacturing.Samsung Biologics’ strategic spinoff of its biosimilar business stood out as a significant corporate restructuring exercise during the quarter. The separation of Samsung Bioepis, tentatively renamed Samsung Epis Holdings, aims to enhance Samsung Biologics’ strategic focus and build client trust, as it eliminates potential conflicts between CDMO services and proprietary drug development. The move came after Samsung Biologics inked a contract worth 737.3 billion Korean won (US$ 518 million) with an undisclosed US pharmaceutical company.WuXi Biologics announced a US$ 167 million divestment of its German facility to Terumo and broke ground on a microbial production plant in China. National Resilience, which was launched five years ago as the US drug manufacturer dedicated to broadening access to medicines and protecting biopharma supply chains, said it is shuttering six of its 10 facilities. The company said the sites were “not being fully utilized.” View CDMO Activity Tracker for Q2 2025 (Free Excel Available) MilliporeSigma, Simtra form 5-year ADC alliance; Silexion partners Catalent for siRNA developmentMerck KGaA’s MilliporeSigma and Simtra struck a five-year strategic alliance, combining expertise across the ADC value chain to reduce development timelines and complexity for biopharmaceutical companies. Viralgen collaborated with Trogenix to rapidly scale product supply for TGX-007, an AAV gene therapy for glioblastoma (a type of cancer of the brain and spinal cord).  Silexion announced a collaboration with Catalent for small interfacing RNA (siRNA) development and manufacturing. Catalent’s Limoges (France) facility will conduct formulation development and clinical manufacturing for Silexion’s SIL204 candidate, supporting both systemic and intra-tumoral delivery formulations.Skyepharma’s collaboration with Eneapharm through the Skyehub platform aims to support the treatment of patients suffering from exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, including those affected by cystic fibrosis or pancreatic cancer. Orion Corporation reached an agreement with Shilpa Biocare for the distribution of recombinant human albumin in Europe.Meanwhile, Aenova announced the launch of its Aenovation program, an initiative designed to fast-track early development of pharmaceutical formulations. The program addresses the critical challenges of bioavailability and time-to-market faced by poorly soluble drug candidates. View CDMO Activity Tracker for Q2 2025 (Free Excel Available) Our view The quarter saw CDMO developments mimic the broader trends in the pharmaceutical industry, such as onshoring of critical manufacturing capabilities in the US, consolidation of specialized expertise through strategic partnerships, and the relentless focus on emerging therapeutic modalities that promise to transform patient care. With CDMOs continuing to invest in next-generation manufacturing capabilities, we expect the sector to play a crucial role in drug innovation.

Similarly, Andelyn Biosciences was selected by Hubble Therapeutics to manufacture clinical grade AAV.Meanwhile, Lonza has gone in for a restructuring exercise in order to become a “pure-play CDMO”. It has exited its capsules and health ingredients business, and adopted a new organizational structure. The Swiss CDMO has also extended a collaboration with a major global biopharmaceutical partner for commercial-scale manufacture of ADCs. View CDMO Activity Tracker for H2 2024 (Free Excel Available) Our viewAs pharmaceutical development becomes increasingly complex, CDMOs are no longer just manufacturing partners, but critical innovation hubs. Little wonder then that 2024’s biggest pharma deal was in the CDMO space – Novo Holdings’ US$ 16.5 billion buyout of Catalent. This trend should gather momentum. We expect more M&A activity in this space in 2025.

    FDA approves record eight biosimilars in H1 2024; okays first interchangeable biosimilars for Eylea

    FDA approves record eight biosimilars in H1 2024; okays first interchangeable biosimilars for Eylea

    Biologics, or complex drugs that are derived from living organisms, have revolutionized treatment of various conditions such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and chronic illnesses. In 2023, eight out of 10 of the world’s top-selling drugs were biologics, including Merck’s Keytruda, AbbVie’s Humira, and Sanofi’s Dupixent.Due to their high costs, accessibility of biologics has been a challenge. That’s why biosimilars, or game-changing copycats of biologics that provide highly similar yet more affordable alternatives to established biologics, are becoming popular.The first biosimilar — Sandoz’ Zarxio — was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2015. Its reference biologic was Amgen’s Neupogen (filgrastim).  Since then, the global market for biosimilars has been growing at an impressive pace — between 2015 and 2020, it grew at a whopping compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 78 percent, touching US$ 17.9 billion in size. It is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 15 percent and reach a size of about US$ 75 billion by 2030.Major biosimilar players include Amgen, Sandoz, Samsung Bioepis, Pfizer, Biocon Biologics, Celltrion, Stada Arzneimittel, Accord Healthcare, Fresenius Kabi, Coherus Biosciences, Apotex, and Sanofi. The increasing demand for biosimilars has propelled growth in contract manufacturing. Some of the leading contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) that manufacture biosimilars are Polpharma Biologics, Catalent, Pfizer CentreOne, Lonza, Boehringer Ingelheim BioXcellence, Thermo Fisher Scientific, WuXi Biologics, and FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies.Access the Interactive Dashboard for Biosimilar Developments (Free Excel)Amgen, Sandoz top list of ‘approved biosimilars’; FDA okays 8 copycats in H1 2024Over the recent years, regulatory agencies like the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have established rigorous approval pathways for biosimilars.Since 2015,  FDA has approved 53 biosimilars, while the EMA has approved 86 biosimilars. Among the US, European and Canadian markets, Amgen and Sandoz are tied in the first place with 13 approved biosimilars each. Samsung Biologics has nine approved biosimilars, followed by Pfizer with eight and Biocon Biologics with seven. In the first half of this year, FDA set a record by approving eight biosimilars — the highest for H1 of any year. EMA has okayed six biosimilars so far in 2024.In 2023, five biosimilars were approved by the FDA with just one being okayed in the first half. The year marked the end of exclusivity for Humira after 20 years, in which it netted a total of US$ 200 billion in sales. AbbVie’s flagship autoimmune drug has a record 10 biosimilars.Johnson & Johnson’s Stelara also lost exclusivity in 2023 and as many as 11 drugmakers hope to bring its biosimilars to the market. Amgen’s Wezlana was the first biosimilar to Stelara, and it was approved as interchangeable by FDA in October last year.Access the Interactive Dashboard for Biosimilar Developments (Free Excel) FDA approves first interchangeable biosimilar for Eylea, cuts regulatory feeDeveloping a biosimilar costs both money and time. According to Pfizer, developing a biosimilar can take five to nine years and cost over US$ 100 million, not including regulatory fees.In October 2023, FDA slashed its fees with the program fee at US$ 177,397, down from US$ 304,162. The application fees for products that require clinical data has been set at US$ 1,018,753, down from US$ 1,746,745. The application fee for products that don’t require clinical data has been set lower — at US$ 509,377 —  down from US$ 873,373 set earlier. This reduction in application fee has propelled demand for contract manufacturing of biosimilars.There has also been a rise in approvals of interchangeable biosimilars this year. Interchangeable biosimilars meet additional requirements and may be substituted for its reference product by a pharmacist without consulting the prescriber. This year saw FDA approve the first interchangeable biosimilars for bone cancer drug denosumab (Prolia and Xgeva) in Jubbonti and Wyost as well as for eculizumab (Soliris) in Bkemv.In May, FDA approved the first interchangeable biosimilars for eye drug aflibercept (Eylea) in Opuviz and Yesafili. Other biosimilars approved in 2024 include Simlandi for adalimumab (Humira), Tyenne for tocilizumab (Actemra), Selarsdi for ustekinumab (Stelara), and Hercessi for trastuzumab (Herceptin).Access the Interactive Dashboard for Biosimilar Developments (Free Excel) Merck’s Keytruda, BMS’ Opdivo, Novartis’ Cosentyx brace for biosimilar competitionHealthcare spending in the US is projected to rise from US$ 4.5 trillion in 2022 to US$ 6 trillion by 2027. While biologics involve just two percent of prescriptions, they account for 46 percent of all pharmaceutical spending. In 2022, US$ 252 billion was spent on biologics.Biosimilar-related savings in 2023 were estimated to be US$ 9.4 billion in the US and € 10 billion (US$ 10.68 billion) in Europe. With expensive and widely used drugs like AbbVie’s Humira, J&J’s Stelara, and Regeneron’s Eylea coming under competition, US savings are projected to reach US$ 181 billion through 2027. Between 2026 and 2032, about 39 blockbusters are set to lose exclusivity in the US and Europe. Merck’s Keytruda (pembrolizumab) was the world’s top-selling drug last year, generating US$ 25 billion in sales. Its patent is set to expire in 2028 with sales expected to drop 19 percent to US$ 27.4 billion in 2029 from US$ 33.7 billion the previous year. Samsung Bioepis and Amgen initiated phase 3 trials of pembrolizumab in April and May of this year, respectively.Opdivo (nivolumab), belonging to the same class of drugs, competes with Keytruda and is also set to lose patent protection in 2028. It hauled in US$ 10 billion in total global sales in 2023 for Bristol Myers Squibb. The key patents of Novartis’ Cosentyx (secukinumab) are set to expire between 2025 and 2026. Cosentyx saw sales of US$ 5 billion in 2023. Taizhou Mabtech Pharmaceutical and Bio-Thera Solutions are conducting phase 3 trials of secukinumab.Access the Interactive Dashboard for Biosimilar Developments (Free Excel) Our viewWith over 2 billion people worldwide unable to access life-saving medicines, biosimilars hold the key to healthcare accessibility. In 2023, a record 13 biosimilars were launched in the market — the highest for a single year. And this included nine much-anticipated biosimilars to AbbVie’s Humira.  In April this year, FDA announced a Biosimilars Action Plan to streamline the development of biosimilars. With a sharp focus on biosimilars, we expect more records to be broken in the near term. New launches of biosimilars to drugs like J&J’s Stelara, Regeneron’s Eylea and Merck’s Keytruda will surely help in creating new records.
