Insights

Piramal and NewAmsterdam's multi-million dollar manufacturing investment strengthens production capacity for potential blockbuster cholesterol medication.

This partnership represents a significant manufacturing capacity expansion with strategic implications for both companies. The dedicated oral solid dosage (OSD) suite at Piramal's Sellersville facility demonstrates strong confidence in NewAmsterdam's fixed dose combination (FDC) of obicetrapib and ezetimibe, a non-statin cholesterol medication targeting LDL-C reduction. The multi-million dollar investment signals expectations of substantial commercial demand if regulatory approval is secured.

The manufacturing suite's specialized capabilities for multi-layer tablet production—including advanced granulation, compression, tableting, and coating technologies—reflects the technical complexity of the FDC formulation. Particularly noteworthy is Piramal's integrated development approach, leveraging multiple facilities: development work at Ahmedabad and dual-sourcing support from Pithampur provide crucial redundancy for supply chain resilience.

From an operational perspective, the creation of 20+ new manufacturing jobs over five years indicates meaningful production volume expectations. The dedicated suite model offers significant advantages over shared manufacturing space, including enhanced quality control, contamination prevention, and scheduling flexibility—all critical factors for high-volume pharmaceutical manufacturing.

This expansion demonstrates the continued evolution of the CDMO business model, where contract manufacturers make substantial capital investments based on the commercial potential of specific client products. For NewAmsterdam, securing dedicated manufacturing capacity represents a strategic advantage by ensuring production scalability for their lead asset without building internal manufacturing infrastructure.

  • The multi-million-dollar investment provides NewAmsterdam Pharma with commercial capacity for fixed dose combination (FDC) of obicetrapib and ezetimibe to meet potentially high commercial demand.
  • Piramal Pharma Solutions harnessed the strength of two additional facilities to efficiently produce the FDC, demonstrating the advantages of its integrated approach to development.

MUMBAI, India, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --ÌýPiramal Pharma Solutions, a leading global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) and part of Piramal Pharma Ltd. (NSE: PPLPHARMA) (BSE: 543635), and NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V. (Nasdaq: NAMS) today announced the opening of a dedicated oral solid dosage (OSD) form suite at Piramal's facility in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, USA. As one of Piramal Pharma Solutions' focused drug product facilities, the Sellersville site provides comprehensive development and manufacturing services for various formulations, including several forms of OSDs. This addition will increase operational efficiency, helping NewAmsterdam Pharma to deliver its investigational drug therapy, if approved, to patients in need.

The suite represents a multi-million-dollar investment in equipment upgrades and enhancements to improve the site's capabilities. This includes a reconfiguration of existing space to create a dedicated OSD suite that will be used exclusively for fixed dose combination products. The new suite is designed for turnkey, multi-layer tablet production, equipped with advanced capabilities and technology to support granulation, compression, tableting, and coating.

This suite will facilitate the production of NewAmsterdam Pharma's investigational FDC, a non-statin cholesterol medication to reduce LDL-C.Ìý

Although the suite is essential to the FDC's production, the partnership between Piramal Pharma Solutions and NewAmsterdam Pharma extends beyond the Sellersville site. Piramal's Ahmedabad PPDS, India site played a crucial role in the product's development, while its Pithampur, India site provides dual sourcing support.

"We are thrilled to expand our OSD production capabilities at the Sellersville facility with this new manufacturing suite,"Ìýsaid Peter DeYoung, CEO, Piramal Global Pharma. "This addition will not only enhance our production capacity and speed, but reinforce our commitment to patient centricity, too."

"By investing in Piramal Pharma Solutions' Sellersville facility, we are enabling the manufacture of FDC with exceptional precision and efficiency to meet the future commercial demand," said Douglas Kling, COO, NewAmsterdam Pharma. "We are excited to continue growing alongside our trusted partner, Piramal Pharma Solutions, and thrilled about the potential for our collaboration to benefit countless patients around the globe."

Patients aren't the only beneficiaries of this investment. Over the next five years, the suite is expected to create more than 20 new jobs at the Sellersville site, further contributing to the local economy and workforce.Ìý

This investment underscores the commitment to continuous improvement shared by Piramal Pharma Solutions and NewAmsterdam Pharma. By adding the new production suite, both companies can operate with greater efficiency and capacity, ultimately bringing the FDC product, if approved, to more patients in need.Ìý

About Obicetrapib

Obicetrapib is a novel, oral, low-dose CETP inhibitor that NewAmsterdam is developing to overcome the limitations of current LDL-lowering treatments. In each of the Company's Phase 2 trials, ROSE2, TULIP, ROSE, and OCEAN, as well as the Company's Phase 3 BROOKLYN, BROADWAY and TANDEM trials, evaluating obicetrapib as monotherapy or combination therapy, the Company observed statistically significant LDL-lowering combined with a side effect profile similar to that of placebo. The Company commenced the Phase 3 PREVAIL cardiovascular outcomes trial in March 2022, which is designed to assess the potential of obicetrapib to reduce occurrences of MACE. The Company completed enrollment of PREVAIL in April 2024 and randomized over 9,500 patients. Commercialization rights of obicetrapib in Europe, either as a monotherapy or as part of a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, have been exclusively granted to the Menarini Group, an Italy-based, leading international pharmaceutical and diagnostics company.

About NewAmsterdam

NewAmsterdam Pharma (Nasdaq: NAMS) is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to improve patient care in populations with metabolic diseases where currently approved therapies have not been adequate or well tolerated. The Company seeks to fill a significant unmet need for a safe, well-tolerated and convenient LDL-lowering therapy. In multiple Phase 3 trials, NewAmsterdam is investigating obicetrapib, an oral, low-dose and once-daily CETP inhibitor, alone or as a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, as LDL-C lowering therapies to be used as an adjunct to statin therapy for patients at risk of CVD with elevated LDL-C, for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well tolerated.
