The USFDA has issued a warning letter to Aspen Biopharma Labs for manufacturing lapses at its active pharmaceutical ingredients production facility in Telangana, India.
The FDA observed significant deviations from Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) for active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) during their inspection in September 2024.
The letter highlighted issues such as inadequate facility design, lack of appropriate separation for high-risk APIs, disrepair of manufacturing areas, failure to validate processes and equipment, and absence of a stability testing program.
The USFDA has requested clarification from the company on whether they intend to cease drug manufacturing for the US market and requested notification before any future resumption of operations.
