⏳ Availability & biosimilar status
Biologics have no small-molecule generics; biosimilar competition is tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
Why the date isn’t exact: Biosimilar timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added or removed, and litigation can move the real date earlier or later.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Biologic patent
- A patent the reference product’s maker has publicly listed. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these expire — unless they’re invalidated or resolved in a settlement.
- Reference-product exclusivity
- A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from the biologic’s first licensure (the BPCIA). No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends, regardless of patents.
- Interchangeable exclusivity
- The first interchangeable biosimilar can earn a period as the only interchangeable version (pharmacists can substitute it without the prescriber).
- Earliest biosimilar (LOE)
- The latest of all the dates above — the soonest a biosimilar can realistically reach the market. Litigation and settlements can move it earlier.
Biologics have no small-molecule “generics” — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
| Code | What it grants | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| RefProduct | Reference-product exclusivity (12-year, BPCIA) — no biosimilar can be licensed before this date | Jun 15, 2032 |

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION See Full Prescribing Information for important administration instructions. ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) Subcutaneous Injection ( 2.2 ): Administer LYUMJEV U-100 or U-200 at the start of a meal or within 20 minutes after starting a meal subcutaneously into the abdomen, upper arm, thigh, or buttocks. Rotate injection sites within the same region to reduce risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis.
Should generally be used in regimens with an intermediate or long-acting insulin. Continuous subcutaneous infusion (Insulin Pump) ( 2.2 ): Refer to the insulin infusion pump user manual to see if LYUMJEV can be used. Use in accordance with the insulin pump instructions for use.
Administer LYUMJEV U-100 by continuous subcutaneous infusion using an insulin pump in a region recommended in the instructions from the pump manufacturer. Rotate infusion sites within the same region to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Do not administer LYUMJEV U-200 by continuous subcutaneous infusion.
Intravenous Infusion ( 2.2 ): Administer LYUMJEV U-100 intravenously only under medical supervision. DO NOT administer LYUMJEV U-200 by intravenous infusion. Dilute LYUMJEV U-100 to a concentration of 1 unit/mL.
Individualize and adjust the dosage of LYUMJEV based on the patient's metabolic needs, glucose monitoring results, and glycemic control goal. ( 2.3 ) Dose adjustments may be needed when switching from another insulin, with changes in physical activity, changes in concomitant medications, changes in meal patterns (i.e., amount and type of food, timing of food intake), changes in renal or hepatic function, or during acute illness. ( 2.3 )
2.1Important Administration Instructions Always check insulin labels before administration [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . Inspect LYUMJEV visually before use. It should appear clear and colorless.
Do not use LYUMJEV if particulate matter and discoloration is seen. Use LYUMJEV prefilled pens with caution in patients with visual impairment that may rely on audible clicks to dial their dose. Do not perform dose conversion when using any LYUMJEV U-100 or U-200 prefilled pens.
The dose window of LYUMJEV prefilled pens shows the number of units of LYUMJEV to be delivered and no conversion is needed . Do not transfer LYUMJEV U-200 from the prefilled pen to a syringe for administration [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . Do not mix LYUMJEV with any other insulin products.
Do not administer LYUMJEV U-200 using continuous subcutaneous infusion insulin pump. Do not administer LYUMJEV U-200 intravenously.
2.2Route of Administration Instructions Subcutaneous Injection for LYUMJEV U-100 or U-200 Administer LYUMJEV at the start of a meal or within 20 minutes after starting a meal subcutaneously into the abdomen, upper arm, thigh, or buttocks. Rotate injection sites within the same region from one injection to the next to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Do not inject into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 , 6.2 )].
LYUMJEV given by subcutaneous injection should generally be used in regimens with intermediate or long-acting insulin.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Never share a LYUMJEV prefilled pen or cartridge between patients, even if the needle is changed. ( 5.1 ) Hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia with changes in insulin regimen: Make changes to a patient's insulin regimen (e.g., insulin strength, manufacturer, type, injection site or method of administration) under close medical supervision with increased frequency of glucose monitoring. ( 5.2 ) Hypoglycemia: May be life-threatening.
Increase frequency of glucose monitoring with changes to: insulin dosage, co-administered glucose lowering medications, meal pattern, physical activity; and in patients with renal impairment or hepatic impairment or hypoglycemia unawareness. ( 5.3 ) Hypoglycemia due to medication errors: Accidental mix-ups between insulin products can occur. Instruct patients to check insulin labels before injection.
Do not transfer LYUMJEV U-200 from the LYUMJEV KwikPen to a syringe as overdosage and severe hypoglycemia can result. ( 5.4 ) Hypokalemia: May be life-threatening. Monitor potassium levels in patients at risk for hypokalemia and treat if indicated.
( 5.5 ) Hypersensitivity reactions: Severe, life-threatening, generalized allergy, including anaphylaxis, can occur. Discontinue LYUMJEV, monitor, and treat if indicated. ( 5.6 ) Fluid retention and heart failure with concomitant use of thiazolidinediones (TZDs): Observe for signs and symptoms of heart failure; consider dosage reduction or discontinuation of TZD if heart failure occurs.
( 5.7 ) Hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis due to insulin pump device malfunction: Monitor glucose and administer LYUMJEV by subcutaneous injection if pump malfunction occurs. ( 5.8 )
5.1Never Share a LYUMJEV Prefilled Pen, Cartridge, or Syringe Between Patients LYUMJEV prefilled pens or cartridges should never be shared between patients, even if the needle is changed. Patients using LYUMJEV vials must never share needles or syringes with another person. Sharing poses a risk for transmission of blood-borne pathogens.
5.2Hyperglycemia or Hypoglycemia with Changes in Insulin Regimen Changes in an insulin regimen (e.g., insulin, insulin strength, manufacturer, type, injection site or method of administration) may affect glycemic control and predispose to hypoglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] or hyperglycemia. Repeated insulin injections into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis have been reported to result in hyperglycemia; and a sudden change in the injection site (to an unaffected area) has been reported to result in hypoglycemia [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .
Make any changes to a patient's insulin regimen under close medical supervision with increased frequency of blood glucose monitoring. Advise patients who have repeatedly injected into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis to change the injection site to unaffected areas and closely monitor for hypoglycemia. For patients with type 2 diabetes, dosage adjustments of concomitant anti-diabetic products may be needed.
5.3Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction associated with insulins, including LYUMJEV [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Severe hypoglycemia can cause seizures, may lead to unconsciousness, may be life-threatening, or cause death. Hypoglycemia can impair concentration ability and reaction time; this may place an individual and others at risk in situations where these abilities are important (e.g., driving or operating other machinery).
LYUMJEV, or any insulin, should not be used during episodes of hypoglycemia [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . Hypoglycemia can happen suddenly and symptoms may differ in each individual and change over time in the same individual. Symptomatic awareness of hypoglycemia may be less pronounced in patients with longstanding diabetes, in patients with diabetic nerve disease, in patients using medications that block the sympathetic nervous system (e.g., beta-blockers) [see Drug Interactions (…

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Published studies with insulin lispro used during pregnancy have not reported an association between insulin lispro and the induction of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes (see Data) . There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations). Pregnant rats and rabbits were exposed to insulin lispro in animal reproduction studies during organogenesis.
No adverse effects on embryo/fetal viability or morphology were observed in offspring of rats exposed to insulin lispro at a dose approximately 3 times the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit insulin lispro/kg/day. No adverse effects on embryo/fetal development were observed in offspring of rabbits exposed to insulin lispro at doses up to approximately 0.2 times the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit/kg/day (see Data) . The estimated background risk of major birth defects is 6% to 10% in women with pre-gestational diabetes with a HbA 1c >7 and has been reported to be as high as 20% to 25% in women with a HbA 1c >10.
The estimated background risk of miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk Poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy increases the maternal risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, pre-eclampsia, spontaneous abortions, preterm delivery, and delivery complications.
Poorly controlled diabetes increases the fetal risk for major birth defects, stillbirth, and macrosomia related morbidity. Data Human Data Published data from retrospective studies and meta-analyses do not report an association with insulin lispro and major birth defects, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes when insulin lispro is used during pregnancy. However, these studies cannot definitely establish or exclude the absence of any risk because of methodological limitations including small sample size, selection bias, confounding by unmeasured factors, and some lacking comparator groups.
Animal Data Animal reproduction studies have not been performed with LYUMJEV. However, subcutaneous reproduction and teratology studies have been conducted with insulin lispro. In a combined fertility and embryo-fetal development study, female rats were given subcutaneous insulin lispro injections of 1, 5, and 20 units/kg/day (0.2, 0.8, and 3 times the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit insulin lispro/kg/day, based on units/body surface area, respectively) from 2 weeks prior to cohabitation through Gestation Day 19.
There were no adverse effects on female fertility, implantation, or fetal viability and morphology. However, fetal growth retardation was produced at the 20 units/kg/day-dose as indicated by decreased fetal weight and an increased incidence of fetal runts/litter. In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits, insulin lispro doses of 0.1, 0.25, and 0.75 unit/kg/day (0.03, 0.08, and 0.2 times the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit insulin lispro/kg/day, based on units/body surface area, respectively) were injected subcutaneously on Gestation Days 7 through 19.
There were no adverse effects on fetal viability, weight, and morphology at any dose.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary Available data from published literature suggests that exogenous human insulin products, including insulin lispro, are transferred into human milk. There are no adverse reactions reported in breastfed infants in the literature. There are no data on the effects of exogenous human insulin products, including insulin lispro, on milk production.
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for insulin, any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from LYUMJE…

🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LYUMJEV to improve glycemic control in pediatric patients with diabetes mellitus have been established. Use of LYUMJEV for this indication is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study in 716 pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus aged 1 year and older, and from studies in adult and pediatric patients with diabetes mellitus [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) and Clinical Studies ( 14.5 )] . LYUMJEV-treated pediatric patients reported a higher incidence of subcutaneous injection site-related reactions compared to LYUMJEV-treated adults [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .
It is expected that LYUMJEV-treated pediatric patients who receive continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) are more likely to have infusion site-related adverse reactions than those who receive subcutaneous injections [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Monitor injection and infusion sites closely when initiating therapy with LYUMJEV in pediatric patients. If persistent injection or infusion site reactions occur, discontinue LYUMJEV and initiate therapy with an alternative insulin.
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Of the total number of LYUMJEV-treated patients in clinical studies for type 1 or type 2 diabetes (PRONTO-T1D and PRONTO-T2D, respectively), 17% (187/1,116) were 65 years of age and older, while 2% (18/1,116) were 75 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 , 14.3 )] . No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of LYUMJEV have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE Excess insulin administration may cause hypoglycemia and hypokalemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 , 5.5 )] . Mild episodes of hypoglycemia usually can be treated with oral glucose. Adjustments in drug dosage, meal patterns, or exercise, may be needed.
More severe episodes with coma, seizure, or neurologic impairment may be treated with glucagon or concentrated intravenous glucose. Sustained carbohydrate intake and observation may be necessary because hypoglycemia may recur after apparent clinical recovery. Hypokalemia must be corrected appropriately.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action The primary activity of LYUMJEV is the regulation of glucose metabolism. Insulins, including insulin lispro-aabc, exert their specific action through binding to insulin receptors. Receptor-bound insulin lowers glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake by skeletal muscle and fat, and by inhibiting hepatic glucose production. Insulins inhibit lipolysis and proteolysis, and enhance protein synthesis.
12.2Pharmacodynamics The time course of insulin action (i.e., glucose lowering) may vary considerably in different individuals or within the same individual. The average pharmacodynamic profile [i.e., glucose lowering effect measured as glucose infusion rate (GIR) in a euglycemic clamp study] for subcutaneous administration of 7, 15, and 30 units of LYUMJEV in 42 healthy subjects is shown in Figure 1 and key characteristics of the timing of the effect are described in Table 7 below. Figure 1.
Mean Insulin Effect Over Time After Subcutaneous Administration of 7, 15, and 30 units of LYUMJEV in Healthy Subjects. Table 7. Timing of Insulin Effect (i.e., Mean Pharmacodynamic Effect) After Subcutaneous Administration of 7, 15, and 30 Units of LYUMJEV in Healthy Subjects (N=42) and Corresponding to the Data Shown in Figure 1 Parameter for Insulin Effect LYUMJEV 7 units LYUMJEV 15 units LYUMJEV 30 units Time to first measurable effect ~17 minutes ~17 minutes ~15 minutes Time to peak effect ~120 minutes ~138 minutes ~174 minutes Time for effect to return to baseline ~4.6 hours ~6.2 hours ~7.3 hours On average, the pharmacodynamic effects of LYUMJEV, measured as area under the glucose infusion rate-time curve (AUC GIR ), was 1080 mg/kg, 1860 mg/kg, and 3030 mg/kg following administration of 7, 15, and 30 units of LYUMJEV in healthy subjects.
Similar pharmacodynamic profiles were observed in separate studies conducted in 40 patients with type 1 diabetes and 38 patients with type 2 diabetes given LYUMJEV subcutaneously as a single 15 unit dose. The onset and total glucose lowering were similar when LYUMJEV was administered in the abdomen, deltoid, or thigh. The day-to-day variability [percent coefficient of variation (CV%)] within subjects in the glucose-lowering-effect of LYUMJEV was 24% for the early glucose lowering (AUC GIR , 0-1h), 27% for the total glucose lowering (AUC GIR , 0-10h), and 19% for maximum glucose lowering effect (GIR max ).
Figure 1 Postprandial Glucose Lowering When given at the start of a meal or 20 minutes after the start of the meal, LYUMJEV reduced postprandial glucose during a standardized test meal over the complete 5-hour period [change from premeal AUC(0-5h)] in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The maximum and total glucose lowering were comparable for a single 15 unit dose of LYUMJEV 200 units/mL or LYUMJEV 100 units/mL when administered subcutaneously to healthy subjects. The insulin time action profile with LYUMJEV 200 units/mL was the same as observed with LYUMJEV 100 units/mL.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption Absorption of insulin lispro-aabc was evaluated in healthy subjects (see Figure 2 ) and patients with diabetes following subcutaneous injection of LYUMJEV. Insulin lispro-aabc appeared in circulation approximately 1 minute after injection of LYUMJEV. Time to 50% maximum insulin lispro-aabc concentration was 13 minutes.
Time to maximum insulin lispro-aabc concentration was achieved at 57 minutes. In healthy subjects, the day-to-day variability [CV%] within subjects of LYUMJEV was 10% for total exposure (AUC, 0-10h) and 16% for maximum insulin lispro-aabc concentration (C max ). Figure 2.
Mean Serum Insulin Lispro-aabc After Subcutaneous Injection of LYUMJEV (15 unit dose) in Healthy Subjects The absolute bioavailability of insulin lispro-aabc after subcutaneous administration of LYUMJEV in the abdomen, deltoid, and thigh was approximately 65%. The rate of absorption of insulin lispro-aabc is maintained regardless of injection site. Maximum co…

📋 Description ▾
11 DESCRIPTION Insulin lispro-aabc is a rapid-acting human insulin analog used to lower blood glucose. Insulin lispro-aabc is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing a non-pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli . Insulin lispro-aabc differs from human insulin in that the amino acid proline at position B28 is replaced by lysine and the lysine in position B29 is replaced by proline.
Chemically, it is Lys(B28), Pro(B29) human insulin analog and has the empirical formula C 257 H 383 N 65 O 77 S 6 and a molecular weight of 5808 daltons, both identical to that of human insulin. Insulin lispro-aabc has the following primary structure: LYUMJEV (insulin lispro-aabc) injection is a sterile, aqueous, clear, and colorless solution for subcutaneous or intravenous administration. Each mL of LYUMJEV U-100 contains 100 units of insulin lispro-aabc and the inactive ingredients: glycerol (12.1 mg), magnesium chloride hexahydrate (1.02 mg), metacresol (3.15 mg), sodium citrate dihydrate (4.41 mg), treprostinil sodium (1.06 mcg), zinc oxide (content adjusted to provide 39 mcg zinc ion), and Water for Injection, USP.
Each mL of LYUMJEV U-200 contains 200 units of insulin lispro-aabc and the inactive ingredients: glycerol (12.1 mg), magnesium chloride hexahydrate (1.02 mg), metacresol (3.15 mg), sodium citrate dihydrate (4.41 mg), treprostinil sodium (1.06 mcg), zinc oxide (content adjusted to provide 52 mcg zinc ion), and Water for Injection, USP. Hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide may be added to adjust the pH. LYUMJEV has a pH of 7.0 to 7.8.

💬 Information for Patients ▾
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-Approved Patient Labeling (Patient Information and Instructions for Use). Never Share a LYUMJEV Prefilled Pen, Cartridge, or Syringe Between Patients Advise patients that they must never share a LYUMJEV prefilled pen or cartridge with another person, even if the needle is changed. Advise patients using LYUMJEV vials not to share needles or syringes with another person.
Sharing poses a risk for transmission of blood-borne pathogens [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Hyperglycemia or Hypoglycemia Inform patients that hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction with insulin. Instruct patients on self-management procedures including glucose monitoring, proper injection technique, and management of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, especially at initiation of LYUMJEV therapy.
Instruct patients on handling of special situations such as intercurrent conditions (illness, stress, or emotional disturbances), an inadequate or skipped insulin dose, inadvertent administration of an increased insulin dose, inadequate food intake, and skipped meals. Instruct patients on the management of hypoglycemia. Inform patients that their ability to concentrate and react may be impaired as a result of hypoglycemia.
Advise patients who have frequent hypoglycemia or reduced or absent warning signs of hypoglycemia to use caution when driving or operating machinery [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . Advise patients that changes in insulin regimen can predispose to hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia and that changes in insulin regimen should be made under close medical supervision [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Hypoglycemia due to Medication Errors Instruct patients to always check the insulin label before each injection to avoid mix-ups between insulin products.
Inform patients that LYUMJEV U-200 contains 2 times as much insulin per mL as LYUMJEV U-100. The LYUMJEV U-200 KwikPen dose window shows the number of units of LYUMJEV U-200 to be injected so no dose conversion is required [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] . Instruct patients to not transfer LYUMJEV U-200 from the LYUMJEV U-200 KwikPen to a syringe [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] .
Hypersensitivity Reactions Advise patients that hypersensitivity reactions have occurred with LYUMJEV. Inform patients on the symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] . Instructions for Patients Using Continuous Subcutaneous Infusion (Insulin Pump) Do not use LYUMJEV U-200 in an insulin pump.
Train patients in intensive insulin therapy with multiple injections and in the function of their pump and pump accessories. Instruct patients to follow healthcare provider recommendations when setting pump basal rates and bolus settings. Refer to the continuous subcutaneous infusion pump user manual to see if LYUMJEV can be used with the pump.
See recommended reservoir and infusion sets in the insulin pump user manual. Instruct patients to replace insulin in the reservoir at least every 9 days, or according to the pump user manual whichever is shorter. By following this schedule, patients avoid insulin degradation, infusion set occlusion, and loss of the insulin preservative.
Instruct patients to discard insulin exposed to temperatures higher than 98.6°F (37°C). Instruct patients to inform healthcare provider and select a new site for infusion if infusion site becomes erythematous, pruritic, or thickened. Instruct patients on the risk of rapid hyperglycemia and ketosis due to pump malfunction, infusion set occlusion, leakage, disconnection or kinking, and degraded insulin.
Instruct patients on the risk of hypoglycemia from pump malfunction. If these problems cannot be promptly corrected, instruct patients to resume therapy with subcutaneous insulin injection and contact their healthcare provider [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ) and How Supplied/Storage and Handling ( 16.2 )] .
