By Cecilia Butini
Novartis AG said it has suspended production of two of its
oncology drugs at sites in Italy and New Jersey, U.S., as a result
of potential quality issues in the manufacturing process.
The halt affects manufacture of gastroenteropancreatic
neuroendocrine tumor drug Lutathera and of prostate-cancer drug
Pluvicto, Novartis said, adding that the action affects commercial
and clinical-trial supply.
The Swiss pharma major expects to resolve the issues and resume
some supply within six weeks, pending confirmation via a continuing
review, it said.
