Ponaxen 15 mg & 45 mg (Ponatinib)

The manufacturer of the specific Ponaxen product is Everest Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

This product-specific question must be separated from the documented history of ponatinib and ICLUSIG.

Original developer

FDA historical records identify ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as the applicant for the original Iclusig NDA.

Ponatinib was initially developed as AP24534, an orally available tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting BCR::ABL1.

ICLUSIG in the United States

The current DailyMed record identifies Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. as the packager for the listed ICLUSIG product.

European Union

The EMA currently lists Incyte Biosciences Distribution B.V. as the marketing authorization holder for Iclusig in the EU.

These facts do not establish that either Takeda or Incyte is the manufacturer of Ponaxen.

Manufacturer versus developer

A medicine can have separate organizations responsible for:

  • Original development
  • Manufacturing
  • Brand ownership
  • Marketing authorization
  • Distribution
  • Supply

These roles should not be conflated.

Quality information

Specific Ponaxen manufacturing sites, GMP certifications, batch-release arrangements and quality certifications are Everest Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Official information

Only product-specific regulatory and manufacturer documentation should be used to establish the identity and manufacturing relationship of Ponaxen.
