PharmSource - CMO Scorecard: Outsourcing of NDA Approvals and CMO Performance - 2018 Edition, Edition analyzes the performance of the drug product CMO industry using NDA approvals as the primary indicator of performance. The report examines 118 drugs approved by the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) in 2017 along with four therapeutic drugs approved by the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) under the BLA process (Table 4). NDA and BLA approvals include New Molecular Entities (NMEs), as well as new formulations of previously approved APIs. In addition, the report also includes drugs examined by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The centralized procedure is mandatory for all New Active Substances (NASs), as well as biosimilar and certain generics.
This report analyzes propensity to outsource by dosage form, sponsor type, nature of API, and special handling requirements. It includes information on products that have used formulation technologies such as amorphous solid dispersion (ASD), hot melt extrusion (HME), and jet milling. This year, we have added two new elements to our analysis: injectable market share by dose form and an enhanced examination into the behavior of the global bio/pharma sector.
The data on which this report is based comes from the PharmSource products database, which includes manufacturing details on all NDA approvals from the past decade or more. The data is compiled from a broad array of public sources including product regulatory filings, financial regulatory filings, investor relations, and press releases. Subscribers can use the databases in PharmSource to do their own customized analyses of product and contract manufacturing service data. A more detailed description of our methodology is contained in an Appendix to this report.
