“The hurdles” • Formulate ARVs that are bio-equivalent to existing brands that can be manufactured in a more cost-effective manner. • Generate scientific data to support bio-equivalency for review by US FDA (as per PEPFAR guidelines). • Gain FDA approval and establish channels for distribution through supply chain consortiums. • Manufacture product to meet the requirements of healthcare systems to support patient care. • Address equivalency and quality questions. Worldbank; March 10th, 2005
The Ranbaxy Plan • Majority of 16 ARV dossiers to be submitted to the US FDA by Summer ‘05. • Cooperative scientific effort required between Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) supplier; Ranbaxy formulation scientist and manufacturing groups. • Work with independent CRO to generate required data. • Data submitted to WHO concurrently for inclusion in drug listing.

The Ranbaxy Comittment • “We are well aware and applaud the fact that your administration, in the interest of protecting patients, has implemented an FDA review process for all generic ARV drugs used in the PEPFAR initiative, an important measure for patient safety…………. We plan to complete our bio-equivalence studies for our entire portfolio of ARVs within the coming year. Our current plans are to manufacture all PEPFAR-approved ARVs at Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltds’ FDA inspected and certified facilities to ensure the highest quality manufacturing environment” • Letter to Secretary Tommy G.
