Rivaroxaban carries 67 active Type II DMFs in the FDA register. Sai Sreyas Pharmaceutical, Bayer (innovator), and Dr Reddy's lead the holder list by filings. The long-tail structure (most holders carry one filing each) reflects active capacity build-out across India and China. The inspection-clean filter narrows the cohort to plants with a recent NAI classification.

Why a buyer runs it

The pre-RFQ compliance gate.

Inspection-class strict.

NAI-only by default. VAI plants surface with a flag; OAI plants are pushed to the secondary list automatically.

Trailing observation count.

Number of 483 observations over the trailing 24 months per plant. Zero-observation plants rank first.

Trajectory chip.

Improving / flat / deteriorating from the last 5 inspection cycles. A flat NAI plant is preferred to a recently-improved one.

Filing recency surfaced.

Holders whose most-recent DMF filing is older than 5 years are flagged. Stale filings are a quality signal in their own right.

Rivaroxaban has 67 active Type II DMFs across 50+ distinct holders. With the NAI-only filter applied the cohort tightens to 16 holders; Sai Sreyas leads with 3 active filings and a clean recent inspection. Dr Reddy's is the largest-name holder but its referenced plant carries a recent VAI cycle. Recommend lead qualification with Sai Sreyas, Vasudha, and the long tail of NAI-plant single-filers.

The inspection-clean shortlist is the pre-RFQ compliance gate. It removes plants with active enforcement issues before a buyer sees the supplier list, so the qualification work concentrates on candidates who can actually deliver. The view is api_docs joined to inspections and legal_entities. Refresh cadence is weekly.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What does 'inspection-clean' mean here?+

Current FDA inspection classification of NAI (No Action Indicated) with zero 483 observations in the trailing 24 months. The strictest filter; the headline cohort. Toggleable to include VAI plants with a flag, or to extend the trailing window to 36 months.

Are VAI plants always excluded?+

No. VAI plants surface with a flag and remain available to the buyer at their discretion. The default headline list is NAI-only because VAI signals active issues even when minor. OAI plants are always excluded from the headline list.

How are observation counts computed?+

Number of distinct 483 observations issued at the plant over the trailing 24 months. Each observation is one citation from the FDA inspection database. The count includes observations subsequently closed; the goal is the historical signal density.

Does this cover non-FDA regulators?+

FDA inspection class is the default. The companion analysis covers EMA, EDQM, MHRA, and PMDA inspection histories — joinable to the same supplier shortlist for a multi-regulator view.

What is a paper-only inspection-clean plant?+

A plant with NAI classification and an active DMF but no observable customs export shipments over the trailing 24 months. PharmaDB flags these separately because the qualified-but-not-shipping status raises operational questions before commercial commitment.

How fresh is the inspection data?+

The FDA inspection database is pulled weekly. Plant inspection class trickles in over the months following the inspection cycle; PharmaDB surfaces the most-recent published classification with its date.
