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.

[cesanon in reply to Rickmartin1948]

Probably. Maybe even to Canada?

[Scout4answers]

Just saying it is coming soon, months or years not decades.

hopefully before I need either of them.

I think the current patent runs until 2027

for which one?

[Scout4answers]

(from memory )I currently pay $140 for 60 generic Abiraterone or less that$3 each

[snugrose in reply to Scout4answers]

Try ScriptCo for generic abiraterone. $210 for 360 250 mg pills. There is a $140 yearly membership.

[Scout4answers in reply to snugrose]

Less than a buck a piece! Best price yet, thanks for sharing.

I have no way to verify this but this what Google found

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

[Scout4answers]

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.

let's hope that lawsuit fails.

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...
