Cipla Receives USFDA Approval for Generic Cancer Medication

India Pharma Outlook Team | Saturday, 12 April 2025

Cipla made significant progress after obtaining USFDA permission for marketing its generic cancer drug. The USFDA granted Cipla authorization to introduce their paclitaxel protein-bound particles for injectable suspension (albumin-bound) under the brand name 100 mg/vial single-dose vial.

Cipla can now access the US oncology drug market through its generic product after obtaining USFDA approval because it directly competes with Bristol Myers Squibb's best-selling drug, Abraxane, used for cancer injection therapy. “Cipla’s protein-bound paclitaxel is a generic therapeutic equivalent version of Bristol Myers Squibb's Abraxane for injectable suspension 100 mg/vial.”

The protein-bound formulation of Paclitaxel possesses crucial therapeutic importance for the medical care of metastatic breast cancer patients alongside those with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The involvement of Cipla promises better accessibility and lower costs for US patients who require cancer treatments.

The therapeutic agent Paclitaxel protein-bound treats severe cancers that include metastatic breast cancer, with its indication extended to locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The Cipla entry will improve US patients' cancer treatment accessibility and decrease treatment expenses.

Cipla stated the medication will enter the US market within the first six months of this business period. By taking this step, Cipla aims to improve its oncology product line while broadening medical accessibility on an international scale.
