When do Kalydeco patents expire, and when can generic versions of Kalydeco launch?

Kalydeco is a drug marketed by Vertex Pharms Inc and Vertex Pharms and is included in two NDAs. There are thirteen patents protecting this drug and two Paragraph IV challenges.

This drug has two hundred and fifty-three patent family members in thirty-two countries.

The generic ingredient in KALYDECO is ivacaftor. There are three drug master file entries for this compound. One supplier is listed for this compound. Additional details are available on the ivacaftor profile page.

DrugPatentWatch® Generic Entry Outlook for Kalydeco

Kalydeco was eligible for patent challenges on January 31, 2016.

By analyzing the patents and regulatory protections it appears that the earliest date for generic entry will be August 13, 2029. This may change due to patent challenges or generic licensing.

There has been one patent litigation case involving the patents protecting this drug, indicating strong interest in generic launch. Recent data indicate that 63% of patent challenges are decided in favor of the generic patent challenger and that 54% of successful patent challengers promptly launch generic drugs.

There is one tentative approval for the generic drug (ivacaftor), which indicates the potential for near-term generic launch.
