DrugPatentWatch® Litigation and Generic Entry Outlook for Xtandi.

A generic version of XTANDI was approved as enzalutamide by APOTEX on April 22nd, 2022.

Nubeqa aka Darolutamide will be eligible for patent challenges on July 30, 2023. This date may extended up to six months if a pediatric exclusivity extension is applied to the drug's patents.

this is very good news!!

Sometimes that can result in a large decrease in costs. Sometimes not.

If anyone reads any informed speculations out there, please post it.

Thanks

Well Enzalutamide costs in europe a fraction of the USA price something in the range of a few hundred a month. I wonder if it could make sense to cross the ditch to buy a few months supply.

You clearly know more about this than I do so I will defer to you. I just asked Google when a generic for the two drugs will be available.

Thanks for mentioning! Everyone is encourage to read about March in Rights…passed with Senator Dole’s name on it. Basically it has to do with the government investing in drug research and then the companies charging large amounts. Prostate cancer men challenged that the government hasn’t implemented this. healthaffairs.org/do/10.137...
