A clear, operator-level summary of Commissioner Makary’s statements —
and what they mean for foreign manufacturers, CDMOs, and API facilities moving forward.

Inside this 3-page briefing, you’ll find:

  • The five key shifts in FDA behavior affecting foreign sites
  • Why unannounced inspections are becoming standard overseas
  • How to understand Makary’s comments on China-based Phase 3 data
  • The documentation FDA is most likely to request first
  • Where data integrity vulnerabilities typically surface during inspections
  • How public CRLs increase transparency around inspection findings
  • What U.S. PreCheck means for global CDMOs supporting U.S. clients
  • The six system elements FDA will focus on immediately

This is not consulting language.
​It’s the operator’s view of what is changing — and why.

Why This Matters Now

Makary’s remarks were not theoretical.
​They reflect a clear shift in regulatory posture.
​
​The FDA is moving from:

  • scheduled → unannounced foreign inspections
  • assumed compliance → verification of systems
  • historical leniency → active enforcement
