Pemetrexed fda orange book exclusivity date?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Pemetrexed

What is the FDA Orange Book exclusivity date for pemetrexed?

Pemetrexed (brand varies by product/strength) has FDA exclusivity protections tied to the original New Drug Application (NDA) listed in the Orange Book. The exact “exclusivity date” shown on Drugs@FDA/Orange Book depends on which pemetrexed listing you mean (for example, by dosage form and strength, and the specific proprietary name tied to the NDA).

Where do I find the exact exclusivity end date for the specific pemetrexed listing?

To get the precise exclusivity expiry date, you need to look up the pemetrexed entry in the FDA’s Orange Book for the relevant NDA and then read the “Exclusivity” section for the listing. That date is the one that determines when the FDA can reference exclusivity protections for new approvals that rely on the same active ingredient and reference listed drug.

If you want, tell me the exact product name you’re looking at (for example, the proprietary name and strength), and I can help pinpoint which Orange Book entry matches and what exclusivity period it lists.

How does Orange Book “exclusivity date” differ from patent expiration?

Even after Orange Book exclusivity ends, patents can still block generic or biosimilar approvals. The exclusivity date is different from patent expiry listed on the same Orange Book entry. For practical “when can generics launch?” questions, you often need both:
- Orange Book exclusivity end date
- Patent expiration dates for listed patents that are tied to the reference product

Contradictions


Important Omissions

No label-supported statement addressing FDA Orange Book exclusivity dates, 'Exclusivity' section lookup, or patent/generic/biosimilar approval timing. This is a material mismatch because the user's statements rely entirely on non-label Orange Book concepts.
Importance: High

Safety Assessment

Potential Patient Risk: High
The statements are administrative/regulatory assertions not supported by the supplied prescribing information excerpts. While not directly dosing-related, unsupported claims about approval timing/exclusivity could mislead regulatory or access-related decisions.

On Label No
Off-label Discussion No
Promotes Unapproved Use No
