Market Analysis and Price Projections for NDC 71288-0563
Last updated: February 21, 2026
What is the drug identified by NDC 71288-0563?
NDC 71288-0563 refers to Tazverik (tazemetostat), a selective EZH2 inhibitor developed by Epizyme. Approved by the FDA in July 2020 for relapsed or refractory epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma, Tazverik targets specific genetic mutations in certain cancers.
What is the current market landscape for Tazverik?
Prevalence: Epithelioid sarcoma affects fewer than 1,000 new patients annually in the U.S. [1]. Follicular lymphoma impacts approximately 87,180 patients in the U.S. with indolent progression.
Competition
No direct EZH2 inhibitors have FDA-approved competitors with the same selectivity profile.
Similar epigenetic drugs include tazemetostat (not to be confused with Tazverik), which targets different pathways.
Market penetration factors
Orphan drug designation: Tazverik’s orphan status accelerates reimbursement.
Pricing strategy: List price in the U.S. is approximately $118,000 annually per patient, reflecting high unmet need and novel mechanism.
Future indications and pipeline
Additional approvals for broader NHL subtypes.
Ongoing trials in solid tumors and other hematologic malignancies.
Potential label expansion could significantly increase patient access, doubling or tripling the market size over 5 years.

Pricing is primarily uniform across U.S. payers; discounts typically range from 10-20%, driven by negotiations, formularies, and patient assistance programs.
What are the projections for future prices?
Short-term (1–3 years)
Price stability expected, with potential for minor reductions driven by payer negotiations.
Reimbursement challenges are limited due to orphan designation and high unmet needs.
Introduction of biosimilars or generics is unlikely due to exclusive patent protections, with patent expiration anticipated around 2030.
Medium to long-term (4–10 years)
Similar drugs entering the market may exert downward pressure.
Influx of competition, especially if additional EZH2 inhibitors gain approval, could reduce prices by 15-25%.
Broadening of indications often leads to volume-driven revenue rather than increased unit price.
Impact on revenue projections
Initial revenue for Epizyme in 2022 was estimated at $40 million.
With increasing adoption and expanded indications, revenues could reach $150-200 million annually by 2025.
Price reductions of 10-15% are expected over the next 5 years, assuming competitive pressures and increased market penetration.
Regulatory and policy influences
Changes in reimbursement policies for orphan drugs could influence net price.
Priority review or accelerated approval pathways could shorten time to commercialization of potential competitors, impacting pricing.

Key financial considerations
Patent exclusivity until approximately 2030 limits generic competition.
Market entry of alternative therapies could pressure prices downward, but current forecasts project gradual pricing decline.
Key Takeaways
NDC 71288-0563 (Tazverik) is a targeted OenzH2 inhibitor with limited direct competition.
The drug maintains high list prices (~$118,000 annually), with net prices around $80,000.
Market size remains modest but is expected to grow with additional indications, potentially reaching $150 million annually by 2025.
Price reductions are anticipated due to increased competition and broader indication approval, estimated at 10-15% over 5 years.
Patent protection shields against generics until roughly 2030, preserving current pricing dynamics.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is patent expiration for Tazverik expected?
Around 2030, given its original 2014 patent filing date with possible extensions.
Are biosimilars or generics likely to impact prices before 2030?
No, patent protections and high development costs prevent generic entry before expiration.
Will expanding indications substantially increase revenue?
Yes, broader labels can double or triple market size, depending on approval timelines and uptake.
What factors could accelerate price reductions?
Entry of competitive EZH2 inhibitors, payer pressure, or regulatory changes favoring affordability.
How does the orphan drug designation influence market dynamics?
It limits competition and justifies high prices, while offering favorable reimbursement pathways.
