Represents Amneal’s fourth 505(b)(2) injectable approval in 2024

Ready-to-use oncology treatment used for multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma

Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) and Shilpa Medicare Limited (“Shilpa”) announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of BORUZU™, a new presentation of bortezomib for ready-to-use subcutaneous administration or intravenous (IV) administration. This new ready-to-use oncology product reduces the compounding preparation steps typically required with administration.

BORUZU (bortezomib injection), a proteasome inhibitor, is used for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. This product references the branded product Velcade®, a lyophilized powder requiring reconstitution before use. Shilpa developed the molecule and Amneal will manufacture and commercialize the product. BORUZU is expected to launch with a unique J-code in the second quarter of 2025.

“We are building a distinct branded oncology injectable portfolio. The approval of BORUZU is our fourth 505(b)(2) injectable approval this year. These ready-to-use injectable presentations are important innovations for oncology providers as they reduce the pharmacy preparation steps for clinicians. We look forward to bringing more branded oncology products to the market for providers while expanding access for patients,” said Sean McGowan, Vice President, Biosimilars and Branded Oncology.

“This second NDA approval in the US market from our novel injectable portfolio is a testament of our capabilities and commitment to introduce pharmacy efficient solutions that enhance preparation and have the potential to reduce patient wait times. This development exemplifies Shilpa’s constant endeavor to work towards introducing novel first of its kind pharmaceutical products that help improve the healthcare requirements of a large patient pool,” said Vishnukant Bhutada, Managing Director of Shilpa Medicare.

The most commonly reported adverse reactions for BORUZU in clinical studies include asthenic conditions, diarrhea, nausea, constipation, peripheral neuropathy, vomiting, pyrexia, thrombocytopenia, psychiatric disorders, anorexia and decreased appetite, neutropenia, neuralgia, leukopenia and anemia.

According to IQVIA®, U.S. annual sales for bortezomib for the 12 months ended December 2023 were approximately $96 million.
