INTERVIEW #SpeakPharma

“Pfizer CentreOne is distinct from other CDMOs due to the fact that we are embedded within Pfizer”

This week, SpeakPharma interviews Pfizer CentreOne’s Andrew Moore, General Manager, and Andrew Anderson, Lead, APIs and Intermediates, who talk about Pfizer CentreOne’s CDMO services, trends impacting the CDMO industry and their leading position as a supplier of specialty APIs and intermediates to pharma companies. The company, which was created five years back, when Pfizer CentreSource and Hospira One 2 One came together, has been growing at a healthy pace of 9 percent year-on-year, and wishes to launch 25 blockbusters by 2025. It’s been over five years since Pfizer CentreSource and Hospira One 2 One came together to create Pfizer CentreOne. Can you tell us what the journey has been like? Andrew Moore: Pfizer CentreOne has been successfully guiding customers’ products from development to commercial manufacture for over 40 years. We are a global provider of contract development and manufacturing services for small molecule APIs, large molecule biologics, oral solids and sterile injectables. In collaboration with our customers, we deliver these medicines to millions of patients all over the world. Our global team consists of around 70 colleagues who bring a wealth of scientific, manufacturing, and commercial expertise. Our network includes over 35 Pfizer sites across six continents with expertise to deliver technical guidance, regulatory support, and reliable supply. Since 2015, we have worked rigorously to optimize the structure and operating model of Pfizer CentreOne. In 2019, Pfizer’s CentreOne delivered US$ 810 million in annual revenue with 9 percent growth year-on-year. We are a strong commercial entity poised to show solid financial results in 2020 as well. Andrew Anderson: In addition to this, Pfizer CentreOne is a leading supplier of specialty APIs and intermediates. Our Kalamazoo, Michigan facility, is a center of excellence for API production and continues to lead the industry by investing in next-generation processes. Customers can access the same technical and manufacturing resources that Pfizer uses for its own branded medicines. They can count on Pfizer CentreOne to deliver reliable API supply of the highest quality and a trusting partnership built on transparent communication and timelines. This is more important than ever as the industry faces increasing supply chain vulnerabilities and API supply issues. What differentiates Pfizer CentreOne from other CDMOs? Andrew Moore: Without any doubt, I can say that Pfizer CentreOne is distinct from other CDMOs due to the fact that we are embedded within Pfizer. With over 170 years of experience, Pfizer has hundreds of products to its name, and its development, manufacturing, regulatory and commercial expertise is unrivaled. When customers partner with us, they benefit from Pfizer’s specialized expertise in core therapeutic areas, enabling them to get their products to patients in a more timely and efficient manner. We believe relationships and collaboration are key for mutual success. We recognize our partners’ patients as our own and our goal is to understand their needs. Pfizer’s legacy of bringing innovative products to market is not just our history, it’s our future. We wish to launch 25 blockbusters by 2025. Pfizer invests US$ 1 billion annually into its manufacturing network and operations and this sustained commitment to innovation and optimization positions Pfizer CentreOne as a highly competitive, technology leading CDMO. The final differentiating factor is our aspiration to be the partner of choice and our customer experience promise.

Andrew Moore: We are focused on growing our core technology platforms through offering end-to-end solutions that start with early stage clinical development and clinical manufacturing and grow into commercial production and lifecycle management. The earlier we can influence formulation and synthesis routes the more successful our customers’ products will be, which is always our first objective. We have a great reputation for our work from Phase II through approval and we believe now is the time to offer customers the benefit of our experience in earlier development phases. In terms of geographical expansion, we are focusing on growing our presence in Asia through our state-of-the-art biotechnology manufacturing site in Hangzhou. Andrew Anderson: We also see a real opportunity to expand our API and intermediates customer base as the need for reliable API suppliers is greater than ever. Pfizer has a track record of delivering high quality API supply when customers need it most. As we have complete control over Pfizer’s own API supply from farm to factory, we are able to offer this reassurance to our customers. Can you share details on Pfizer CentreOne’s new green-chemistry API manufacturing program? Andrew Anderson: The team in our largest manufacturing facility, located in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA, developed Enviero progesterone, the first compound to be launched from Pfizer CentreOne’s green-chemistry program. The API is produced by a first-of-its-kind progesterone synthesis process that reduces waste, greenhouse gas emissions and the use of hazardous solvents. Developed during the last decade, this represents a step change in progesterone API synthesis. Manufactured via a proprietary biocatalytic process based on plant sterols, efficiency and sustainability results have been exceptional, including cutting the carbon footprint of the progesterone manufacturing process by more than 70 percent and eliminating the use of metal catalysts. What are some of the trends impacting CDMOs? What are some of the areas where Pfizer CentreOne will be investing in the coming years? Andrew Moore: We believe that there has never been a more dynamic market nor a greater role for pharma and commercial partners. As more companies, including small, mid-sized and large pharma, turn to CDMOs for bringing their products to market, the CDMO industry is vital to advancing pharma breakthroughs. This has influenced CDMOs to invest in acquisitions and alliances to stay ahead of pharma’s development curve. Despite the increasing dependency of the pharmaceutical industry on CDMOs, the classic needs for CDMO partners remain as before — scientific innovation, high-demand technical experience, and first-class capabilities. Customers appreciate CDMO partners who present quality systems that prevent excursions and warnings along with a proven commercial track record. Emerging industry needs are demanding more agility and a culture of continuous improvement, with responsive infrastructure to permit flexible scale profiles — particularly important with high complexity oral solid dosages. Pfizer CentreOne will continue to focus on playing a strategic role in the successful development and commercial manufacture of our customers’ products and on optimizing our delivery through digital technology and infrastructure investments. Guiding today’s drug strategies through close collaboration with our customers will enable us to overcome some of today’s and tomorrow’s toughest drug development challenges.

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.

Pfizer CentreOne takes a multi-faceted approach by focusing on source reduction, waste minimization, and recycling improvements. Typically, this is done at both the site and regional level by establishing targets to reduce the generation of solid waste and reuse solvents through recovery processes. - Pfizer CentreOne’s green chemistry program has launched its first compound, Enviero (en-VI-ro) progesterone, which led to more than a 70% reduction in their carbon footprint as compared to the traditional progesterone production process they previously used. Furthermore, no metal catalysts were used. - Pfizer CentreOne supports and undertakes environmental projects that restore land, preserve wildlife, and help conserve natural resources. - Pfizer CentreOne leverages its Green Chemistry and Biotechnology program to advance scientific innovation to help develop processes that are more sustainable, environmentally sound and cost-effective. Q4. What are some of the new technologies offered by Pfizer CentreOne? Pfizer CentreOne sells APIs and intermediates manufactured in the U.S. under Pfizer’s quality standards and their API and intermediate capabilities encompass complex steroids and hormones, antibiotics, and prostaglandins. Pfizer CentreOne uses various new technologies. Some of these new technologies for intermediate and API development and manufacturing (API synthesis) and the production of other pharmaceuticals are noted below. - Continuous Manufacturing Technology (CMT) These innovative, next generation technologies allow for continuous processing and greater flexibility for partners. CMT has proven to increase efficiency and quality of production. The process is made possible by a proprietary Pfizer technology called continuous mixing. With the technology, a specially designed mixing unit can blend active ingredients into a homogeneous compound without interruption. The process saves time and money, and reduces the possibility for error. - High Containment (HighCon) Manufacturing The latest addition to Pfizer’s Freiburg site is a high containment facility due to open in 2021. Implementing latest technology in automated dispensing and weighing processes, the facility expands the site’s high containment offer in OEB 4/5 and provides the level of expertise and capacity required to respond to partner challenges in highly potent oral solids. Analytical capabilities include real-time release and NIR process analytical technology for blending and content uniformity. The facility equipment meets industry 4.0 standards and is certified for energy efficiency and sustainability through Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. - Portable Continuous Miniature and Modular (PCMM) Manufacturing PCMM comprises a network that integrates a small footprint, continuous processing equipment, smart control systems and PODs (portable, self-contained GMP modules) to process API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) powders and inactive ingredients into bulk tablets. Materials arrive to production through a fully automated feeding system; this and the Pfizer developed mixing technology ensure high homogeneity and uniformity. New measuring methods constantly check the quality during ongoing production in real time. This self-contained and fully automated process allows Freiburg to further increase production flexibility and accelerate scale-up. - Osmotic Drug Product Technology In 2021 Pfizer CentreOne’s Newbridge facility will become equipped with osmotic drug product technology which will enable solvent membrane coating, laser drilling, aqueous film coating, printing, bead solvent coating, bead solvent coating, active (hormonal and non hormonal) coating, sugar and film coating, and encapsulation. - Hi-tech Packaging Machine In August 2020, Pfizer CentreOne’s Ascoli site installed a new hi-tech machine for one of their packaging lines. The robotic machine, created by their engineering and manufacturing department in collaboration with a local supplier, reaches new heights of performance assuring high quality and safety standards. Q5. What are Pfizer CentreOne’s revenues? Pfizer invests US$ 1 billion annually into its manufacturing network and operations and this sustained commitment to innovation and optimization positions Pfizer CentreOne as a highly competitive, technology leading CDMO. Pfizer CentreOne falls within the Pfizer Biopharmaceuticals Group, a science based medicines business that includes six business units - Oncology, Inflammation and Immunology, Rare Disease, Hospitals, Vaccines and Internal Medicine. More specifically Pfizer CentreOne falls under the Hospital unit of the Pfizer Biopharmaceuticals Group. The Hospital unit which includes Pfizer’s contract manufacturing operation, Pfizer CentreOne, commercializes Pfizer’s global portfolio of sterile injectable and anti-infective medicines. As per Pfizer’s 2019 financial reports, Pfizer CentreOne’s revenue increased from $755 million in 2018 to $810 million in 2019, with 9 percent growth year-on-year. Therefore, Pfizer CentreOne is a strong commercial entity poised to show solid financial results in 2020 as well. In the fourth quarter of 2019, Pfizer CentreOne reported global revenues of $245 million, which was 20% higher than the activity recorded in Q4, 2018. Pfizer thus attributed Pfizer CentreOne as a key driver towards the 8% increase in the hospital unit observed overall. Pfizer CentreOne includes revenues from Pfizer’s contract manufacturing and active pharmaceutical ingredient sales operation, including sterile injectables contract manufacturing, and revenues related to its manufacturing and supply agreements, including those with Zoetis Inc. Furthermore, in the fourth quarter of 2017, Pfizer sold its equity share in Hisun Pfizer. As a result, effective in the first quarter of 2018, Hisun Pfizer-related revenues, previously reported in emerging markets within legacy All Other LEP and legacy All Other SIP, are now reported in emerging markets within Pfizer CentreOne.
