Sofpironium Bromide

Piramal Pharma Solutions, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) headquartered in Mumbai, India, has entered a manufacturing and supply agreement with Botanix SB, a subsidiary of Australia-based Botanix Pharmaceuticals, to support development and commercial supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Sofdra, an FDA-approved treatment for primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Under the agreement, Piramal will initiate development and validation services for sofpironium bromide at its Riverview, Michigan facility, according to the announcement. Following successful regulatory approval at Riverview, the companies will consider validating the process at Piramal’s Aurora, Canada facility, which the company said would give Botanix the option to use Piramal as a dual-source commercial API supplier to support long-term supply chain flexibility. Peter DeYoung, CEO of Piramal Global Pharma, said in a statement that the partnership demonstrates the company’s ability to deliver resilient solutions and that its North American drug substance facilities are equipped to help derisk the Sofdra supply chain. The announcement follows Piramal’s launch last week of a new payload-linker development and manufacturing suite at its Riverview facility, part of a broader $90 million U.S. manufacturing expansion that also includes enhanced commercial-scale capabilities at its sterile injectables facility in Lexington, Kentucky.

Continue Reading Peter DeYoung, CEO, Piramal Global Pharma Under this arrangement, PPS will initiate development and validation services for Sofpironium Bromide, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in Sofdra®, at its Riverview, Michigan facility. Following successful regulatory approval at Riverview, PPS and Botanix will consider validating the process at PPS's Aurora, Canada facility. This potential twin-site strategy would give Botanix the option to use PPS as a dual-source commercial API supplier, enhancing its long-term supply chain flexibility and security. With decades of combined experience, the Riverview and Aurora facilities offer exceptional proficiency in drug substance development and manufacturing, spanning R&D through commercialization. Recent investments have provided both facilities with the advanced equipment and unified systems required to execute this program, reinforcing the strengths of their geographic proximity and integration expertise while enhancing their ability to offer cost-efficient solutions. By maintaining the option for development and validation at both sites, PPS can offer partners redundancy, supply chain continuity, and scheduling flexibility. If geopolitical issues arise, PPS can seamlessly shift production between facilities, ensuring ongoing supply for Botanix and its patients. This proactive approach enables PPS's partners to remain agile and resilient amid global uncertainty, with robust coverage across the US and the rest of the world. These twin-site capabilities also offer financial benefits, enabling PPS's partners to better balance quality and time. By derisking the Sofdra supply chain, PPS is expected to provide Botanix a significant reduction in cost of goods sold. "This business partnership demonstrates our ability to deliver tailored, resilient solutions for organizations like Botanix," said Peter DeYoung, CEO, Piramal Global Pharma. "Our North American drug substance facilities are equipped with the expertise, advanced technology, and cutting-edge capabilities required to help derisk the Sofdra supply chain and ensure this breakthrough therapy reaches patients in need with consistency and efficiency." This phased approach will enable PPS to support future supply needs for Sofpironium Bromide while offering the potential for dual-site production if additional capacity is required. By proactively supporting supply chain continuity, PPS can help improve the quality of life for patients living with primary axillary hyperhidrosis, underscoring and reinforcing its commitment to Patient Centricity.
