Rising Approvals of Pharmaceuticals Drive Market Growth

Ongoing studies are emerging about the safety and efficacy of novel lyophilized therapeutic agents used in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Manufacturers in the global lyophilized injectable market  are taking approvals from the US FDA for the emergency use authorization (EUA) of such innovations to treat patients suffering from severe COVID-19 symptoms.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, players in the global lyophilized injectable market are increasing efforts to gain approval by regulatory organizations, such as the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI), for restricted emergency use in India. The growing approvals for pharmaceuticals, such as Remdesivir, eventually lead to the high demand for lyophilized injectables. Following are a few instances of pharmaceuticals approved by the FDA and other regulatory bodies.

• In February 2020, Mylan secured regulatory approval from DCGI for Remdesivir lyophilized powder in India for restricted emergency use in COVID-19 patients.
• In June 2020, Cipla launched Cipremi, Remdesivir lyophilized powder for injection. Also, the US FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to Gilead Sciences Inc. for emergency use of Remdesivir to treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients. It is the only FDA-approved EUA treatment for adult and pediatric patients hospitalized with suspected or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection. Thus, in May, Gilead Sciences Inc. extended a voluntary nonexclusive license to Cipla to manufacture and market Cipla’s generic version of remedisvir called CIPREMI. 
• In July 2020, Jubilant Life received approval from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) to manufacture and market Remdesivir for 100 mg/vial (lyophilized injection) for restricted emergency use in India for the treatment of severe COVID-19.
• In August 2020, Cosentyx lyophilized powder in a single-use vial by Novartis AG received EU approval. The drug approved was highly productive in rapidly improving skin symptoms and improving the quality of patient’s life suffering from psoriasis. 

Thus, the increasing approvals across the world propel the growth of the lyophilized injectables market.
