The U.S. Food and Drug Administration<\/a> (FDA) has identified repeated quality control failures, including foreign particle contamination, inadequate investigations, and insufficient corrective actions at the Novo Nordisk A\/S NVO operated facility in Bloomington, Indiana.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Novo Nordisk acquired three fill-finish sites from Novo Holdings A\/S for $11 billion. The acquisition was part of a larger deal where Novo Holdings acquired Catalent, Inc. CTLT.<\/p>\n

The three sites, located in Anagni, Italy, Brussels, Belgium, and Bloomington, Indiana, specialize in the sterile filling of drugs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s internal records revealed multiple deviations involving extrinsic contamination, such as cat hair and unidentified particles found during 100% manual visual inspections.<\/p>\n

The problems were reported on Thursday by STAT News, which obtained a copy<\/a> of the FDA report.<\/p>\n

The production plant \u201cfailed to determine a root cause of the contamination, assess the potential impact to the rest of the lot, or evaluate whether similar issues may have occurred in upstream batches,\u201d the agency\u2019s investigator wrote.<\/p>\n

Hair contamination has been a persistent issue, with at least 20 deviations reported since July 2024.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s deviation investigations often lacked comprehensive historical reviews, limiting searches to one year and failing to consistently include related records such as complaints, CAPAs, and change controls.<\/p>\n

The FDA report additionally flagged bacterial contaminations and pest infestations.<\/p>\n

For years, the plant also fielded complaints from different clients regarding \u201cforeign matter\u201d detected in lots produced at the facility.<\/p>\n

The site also \u201cfailed to investigate all critical equipment failures that have the potential to impact drug products,\u201d the agency investigation revealed.<\/p>\n

Between late February 2024 and May 2025, the plant opened roughly 10 work orders for \u201crecurrent leaks and\/or other failures\u201d of a certain system, for which some repairs were substantially delayed.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Catalent\u00a0received an FDA write-up for its syringe filling facility in Belgium, \u201callegedly\u201d the culprit behind the supply shortage for\u00a0Novo Nordisk\u2019s obesity drug Wegovy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regulatory concerns extend beyond Novo Nordisk. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. REGN recently warned that FDA approvals for its EYLEA HD applications, covering pre-filled syringes and expanded dosing schedules, may be pushed back.<\/p>\n

The company pointed to FDA observations from a general site inspection at Catalent\u2019s Indiana filler, which is responsible for the EYLEA HD lots tied to those submissions. The applications have Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA)<\/a> dates in August 2025.<\/p>\n

Price Action: NVO stock is trading lower by 0.32% to $56.80 at last check Monday.<\/p>\n
