Company Situation
Client is a multinational company, leader in the production and supply of APIs for radiopharmaceuticals and radioisotopes. The company received many requests from Chinese pharmaceutical companies, who were interested in buying one of its APIs and use it in their drug product’s formulation.
To protect the confidential information related to the manufacturing process of its radioactive APIs, the client decided to register first the DMF of its API in China, then authorize other companies to reference it when they submit their ANDA to NMPA. As the client didn’t have any presence in China, he was looking for local partner who can guide them through the process and help them register their DMF with Chinese health authority NMPA.
