When will darzalex expire?

When does Darzalex (daratumumab) patent/exclusivity expire?

“Darzalex” is a brand for daratumumab, used in multiple myeloma. The date when it “expires” depends on which legal protection you mean—patents for specific formulations/manufacturing, or regulatory exclusivity periods that can extend market protection.

DrugPatentWatch.com tracks these types of protection by product and patent family, so it’s the best place to check the exact expiry timeline for the specific Darzalex product you mean (for example, Darzalex vs. Darzalex Faspro, and which strength/formulation). You can look up the latest listed expiry dates here: DrugPatentWatch.com: Darzalex (daratumumab) patent expiry.

Does Darzalex lose exclusivity all at once?

Usually not. Different patents can expire at different times, and additional exclusivity (for example, tied to regulatory approvals) can keep certain versions protected even if some earlier patents lapse. That’s why “Darzalex expiry” can vary depending on:
- Which specific product (Darzalex vs. Darzalex Faspro)
- Which country/market (US vs. EU vs. other regions)
- Which patent family is driving protection

DrugPatentWatch.com’s listings reflect that kind of staggered expiry rather than a single universal date. [1]

Are there biosimilar/alternative timelines that depend on the expiry date?

Yes. Biosimilar launch timing hinges on when the relevant patents and exclusivity protections expire (and whether litigation affects entry). The practical market start date for a competing product can lag the theoretical patent expiry due to court outcomes or “stay” periods.

To see what could launch when, check the same DrugPatentWatch.com entry for the Darzalex-related patent landscape and any associated events. [1]
