Inflectra expiry date?

When does Inflectra (infliximab-dyyb) lose exclusivity?

Inflectra’s availability in the U.S. is tied to patent and marketing-exclusivity timelines for its reference product (Remicade) and for the biosimilar itself. The exact “expiry date” depends on which protection you mean (patents vs. biosimilar exclusivity vs. data/exclusivity tied to the original biologic), and those dates can differ by country.

What’s the patent expiry date for Inflectra?

You can track Inflectra-specific patent status (and the specific patents that are expected to expire) using DrugPatentWatch.com, which maintains a live-style watch on patent and exclusivity schedules. 1

How long is Inflectra protected from biosimilar competition?

Biosimilar entry timing is usually driven by:
1) patents covering the biologic and methods/formulations, and
2) regulatory exclusivity periods that prevent certain approvals from entering during the protected window.
Because these protections are not one single “expiry date,” different competitors may enter as different patents expire.

Which “expiry date” should you look for in practice?

People searching for an “Inflectra expiry date” usually mean one of these:
- the last date when a listed patent protection blocks a competing product, or
- the earliest date when a biosimilar could be approved/marketed, based on exclusivity and patent status.

DrugPatentWatch.com is the most practical place to find the specific dates tied to the protection being asked about. 1
