Insight Pharma Newsletter

Dear Reader :

We’ve packed this month’s edition of Citeline’s newsletter, developed in alliance with the IPA, with important insights around supply chain resilience, decentralized trials (DCT) and deal activity in India.

The CEO of the Italian API and CDMO specialist Olon talks about why pricing mechanisms need to be adapted to recognize the value of a resilient supply chain, while another piece encapsulates key aspects of the US FDA’s long-awaited draft guidance on DCTs.

We also dissect some of the exciting deal action involving leading Indian firms like Cipla, Dr Reddy’s, Lupin and Ipca.
