After conducting a thorough search using the available information, I was unable to find the precise date of Apotex's Ruxolitinib ANDA (Abbreviated New Drug Application) filing in the USA. However, I can confirm that Apotex, a leading global pharmaceutical company, has indeed filed an ANDA for Ruxolitinib, a drug used to treat certain types of blood cancer and bone marrow disorders [1].
Ruxolitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that works by reducing the activity of certain enzymes in the body [2]. It is marketed under the brand name Jakafi by Incyte Corporation [3].
According to DrugPatentWatch.com, Apotex filed an ANDA for Ruxolitinib on August 10, 2021 [4]. However, I could not independently verify this information from other reliable sources.
Therefore, while I cannot provide the precise date of Apotex's Ruxolitinib ANDA filing in the USA, I can confirm that Apotex has indeed filed an ANDA for Ruxolitinib and that the drug is used to treat certain types of blood cancer and bone marrow disorders.
