Tech Sheet - Dr. Reddy’s Azacitidine API offerings

Azacitidine is a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor indicated to continue treating adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia. In addition, it is indicated for use in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia who achieved first complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) following intensive induction chemotherapy.

FDA approved the original dosage form, i.e., Vidaza (Injectable), to treat myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and new oral dosage form, i.e., Onureg® (Azacitidine tablets) as a continued treatment for adults in the first remission with acute myeloid leukemia [3].

The annual sales of the innovator oral formulation for the four quarters ending September 2021 is ~ $ 51 million [4], almost entirely from sales in the US. Analyst reports estimate peak sales forecasts for Onureg® at ~ $730 million to $1.5 billion after the US approval.
