CDMO Activity Tracker: Veranova, ChemExpress invest in ADC facilities; Cohance to set up oligonucleotide facility in India

The contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) sector has emerged as a key partner in new drug development. This was evident from the strategic investments, partnerships, and expansions witnessed in the third quarter (Q3) of 2025. Several CDMOs, such as Cohance Lifesciences, Fermion Oy, Axplora, AGC Pharma Chemicals invested in new projects. Others, including Veranova, Aenova, and Biosynth, expanded capacities, while Ofichem strengthened its footprint with the acquisition of Avivia BV. CDMOs like Fareva, Evonik, and Samsung Biologics forged strategic partnerships for growth. During Q3, the sector continued to adopt artificial intelligence (AI). This prompted the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue guidance that recognizes the increasing use of AI and data analytics in drug development. View CDMO Activity Tracker for Q3 2025 (Free Excel Available) Cohance, Veranova invest in bioconjugation suites in US; ChemExpress inks ADC deal Earlier this year, Indian drugmaker Suven Pharmaceuticals Limited merged with leading CDMO Cohance Lifesciences Limited. The merged entity — Cohance Lifesciences — has invested US$ 10 million in a current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) bioconjugation suite at its subsidiary NJ Bio in Princeton, New Jersey. NJ Bio is executing a major program for an existing innovator client with multiple antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidates. Cohance also announced an INR 230 million (approximately US$ 2.58 million) investment in a cGMP oligonucleotide facility at its Hyderabad (India) site. Veranova’s Devens (Massachusetts) site successfully passed a routine FDA cGMP surveillance inspection with a “No Action Indicated” (NAI) classification. Earlier, the company had initiated a US$ 50 million investment to expand its ADC and bioconjugate capabilities at its Devens site. This includes a 9,000-square-foot facility expansion with a new process development lab, two additional cGMP suites, and state-of-the-art bioconjugation development and manufacturing capabilities. These initiatives strengthen the site’s highly potent API (HPAPI) and ADC development and manufacturing capabilities. Biosynth has expanded its Berlin facility with a new GMP bioconjugation suite. The expansion supports the company’s manufacturing capabilities in conjugate vaccines, conjugate drugs, activated polyethylene glycol (PEGs), and polymer-based drug delivery excipients. ChemExpress, Mabwell Bioscience, and Insilico Medicine have entered into a strategic partnership to jointly develop a large ADC compound library and advance next-generation ADC candidates. The collaboration combines Mabwell’s antibody and ADC technology, Insilico’s AI-powered drug design platform, and ChemExpress’s expertise in linker-payload chemistry. Together, they aim to build a complete, AI-driven ADC development model that accelerates discovery, optimization, and commercialization. This partnership is expected to enhance R&D efficiency and deliver safer, more effective cancer treatments.

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.
