Truqap Generic at a Glance
Four quick answers from FDA records and our estimate.
- When is the first generic expected? March 2035 About 8.5 years away Why then?
- Has the FDA approved a generic? Not yet None in the FDA’s records yet Why not yet?
- When does the last patent end? April 2033 9 patents listed with the FDA
- Can you buy a generic today? Not yet No company lists one for sale
Generic capivasertib is expected to be available in March 2035, about 8.5 years away. None is for sale yet.
Why March 2035?
It is when Truqap’s patent 8,101,623 ends. That patent covers the active ingredient, the product’s formulation and a way of using it, and once it ends, generics can go on sale as soon as the FDA approves them. We rate it likely: firm enough to plan around, but a court ruling or a new deal could still move it.
Why hasn’t the FDA approved a generic yet?
That is normal before a launch. The FDA usually can’t give a generic its final approval while a patent or exclusivity still blocks it, so final approval often comes close to the day the generic can be sold. No company holds a “tentative” approval yet either (the FDA’s word for a generic that is ready but still blocked).
Will the generic cost less?
Usually, but no company is recorded as having applied to make one yet, and a single company usually brings only a modest drop. See the price pattern
What should I do now?
Keep taking Truqap as prescribed. When a generic arrives, your pharmacy may switch you to it automatically, and it may look different. What a generic means for you
Our month is only an estimate based on available information, so we never name a day.

Truqap’s Road to a Generic
Truqap has had the market to itself since the FDA approved it in November 2023 (Astrazeneca Pharmaceuticals LP). Its FDA protection (new use) runs to June 2029. Its 9 listed patents run to April 2033.
The first generic of Truqap is expected in March 2035.
Why that month: patent 8,101,623, on the active ingredient, the product’s formulation and a way of using it, ends then.
Each bar runs from the brand’s approval to the day that protection ends. The green band is our projection for the first generic: a month, never a day, because legal dates move and a generic reaches shelves days to weeks after it is allowed.

Truqap Patents and FDA Protections
Every patent and exclusivity the FDA Orange Book lists for Truqap’s own applications. A protection running past the expected month does not mean the date is wrong: a settlement or a court ruling can let a generic in before a patent ends, and a patent on one formulation or use does not block every generic.
The one that matters for a generic launch: patent 8,101,623, which ends in March 2030; the first generic is expected after it, in March 2035, about 8.5 years away.

Who Is Lined Up to Make Generic Capivasertib
Three steps stand between a brand and a generic you can buy: a company applies to the FDA, the FDA approves it, and the company starts selling it.
Applied to the FDA
No company is recorded as having applied to the FDA to make a generic Truqap yet.
Approved by the FDA
Not yet. The FDA has not approved a generic capivasertib. Final approval often comes close to the day a generic can be sold.
For Sale in Pharmacies
Not yet. No company lists a generic capivasertib for sale with the FDA.
Sources: how many companies have applied, from court records and company announcements; approved generics from the FDA Orange Book; tentative approvals from Drugs@FDA; what is for sale from the FDA NDC Directory. The FDA does not disclose an application before it approves it (21 CFR 314.430).
Truqap Price: What Pharmacies Pay and What Generics Usually Do
What a Generic Could Cost
How we estimate it. The national survey of what pharmacies pay (NADAC) has no recent price for Truqap, so we cannot show dollars. Here is the FDA’s finding of how far the price pharmacies pay usually falls as generic companies join: about 31% with one company, 44% with two, 73% with four and over 95% with six or more (the typical drop for every drug whose first generic came out from 2015 to 2017).
Median prices pharmacies paid for the generic (invoice prices), compared with the brand’s price before generic entry, from FDA’s 2019 analysis “Generic Competition and Drug Prices”. At the manufacturer’s price FDA found steeper drops (about 39%, 54%, 79% and over 95%), the figures quoted elsewhere on this tracker. A typical pattern, not a price quote for this medicine.
What Medicare and Medicaid Spend on Truqap
Big public spending is part of why generic makers line up for a medicine, and why its first generic matters beyond the pharmacy counter. Figures are before manufacturer rebates, which are confidential.
Medicare Part D Spending

What a Generic Truqap Means for You
Nothing Changes Until It Is in Pharmacies
Until a generic is actually for sale, keep filling Truqap as usual. When one arrives, there is nothing you need to sign up for.
Your Pharmacy May Switch You Automatically
Every state lets pharmacists fill a brand-name prescription with an FDA-approved generic rated as equivalent to it, and about 19 states require them to, unless your prescriber writes “dispense as written” or “brand medically necessary” on the prescription. Some states ask the pharmacist to tell you, or to get your OK first. A study of every state’s law has the details.
It Will Probably Look Different
US trademark law does not let a generic look exactly like the brand, so the color, shape or markings usually change. The active ingredient, strength and form are the same. An “authorized generic,” made by or for the brand’s own company, can look identical. The FDA explains.
Your Insurance May Change Too
Once a lower-cost version is available, many insurance plans charge more for the brand, or stop covering it. Your plan’s drug list (formulary) says how.
Until a generic is on US pharmacy shelves, be careful with websites that offer “generic Truqap”. The FDA warns that unlicensed online pharmacies sell counterfeit and unapproved medicines; its BeSafeRx page shows how to check a pharmacy.
Questions people ask about Truqap
Is there a generic for Truqap right now?
No. As of October 9, 2026 no generic capivasertib is listed for sale in the FDA NDC Directory.
When will Truqap go generic?
March 2035 is the expected month, and that is likely but not certain. It is when Truqap’s patent 8,101,623 ends. That patent covers the active ingredient, the product’s formulation and a way of using it, and once it ends, generics can go on sale as soon as the FDA approves them.
Will generic capivasertib be the same as Truqap?
Yes in the ways that matter: the same active ingredient, strength and form, with proof that it reaches your blood the same way. Inactive ingredients can differ, which is why some people notice a different look or taste.
How much will the generic cost?
Nobody can say for sure before launch. No company is recorded as having applied to the FDA to make one yet, and a single company usually brings only a modest drop.
Has the FDA approved a generic Truqap?
Not yet. The FDA Orange Book lists no approved generic version of Truqap.
When does the Truqap patent expire?
The FDA Orange Book lists 9 patents for Truqap; the last runs to April 2033. The one behind the expected month is patent 8,101,623, which ends in March 2030. A patent date is not the launch date: settlements and court rulings often bring a generic earlier, and FDA approval or a company’s own plans can make it later. The expected month on this page (March 2035) weighs all of that.
