What is Entyvio, and what patent coverage matters in Canada?
Entyvio (vedolizumab) is a biologic medicine for inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. For Canadian coverage, the key issue is whether any of Entyvio’s specific patents (and related extensions/exclusivity) still bar generic or biosimilar competition in Canada.
