⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥3%) were nasopharyngitis, bleeding, headache, nausea and abdominal pain. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation at 1-888-669-6682 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse drug reaction (ADR) rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of RHAPSIDO was based on a pooled safety population from two identical clinical trials of 52 weeks duration, REMIX-1 and REMIX-2 [see Clinical Studies (14)] . The pooled safety population consisted of 912 adult patients with CSU who remain symptomatic despite H1 antihistamine treatment and who received RHAPSIDO 25 mg orally twice daily (N=606) or placebo (N=306) for 24 weeks during the double-blind, controlled treatment period of the trial.
Adverse reactions that occurred at an incidence greater than or equal to 3% and more common than the placebo group from the pooled safety population (REMIX-1 and REMIX-2) during the 24-week blinded, placebo-controlled treatment period are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Adverse Reactions with RHAPSIDO with Incidence ≥3% and More Common than Placebo in Adult Patients with CSU (REMIX-1 and REMIX-2) a includes acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis, nasopharyngitis, pharyngitis, pharyngitis streptococcal, rhinitis, rhinitis allergic, and upper respiratory tract infection b includes conjunctival bleeding, contusion, ecchymosis, epistaxis, gingival bleeding, hematoma, hematuria, hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, intermenstrual bleeding, petechiae, purpura, and urinary occult blood c includes headache and migraine d includes abdominal discomfort, abdominal distention, abdominal pain and abdominal pain upper Adverse Reaction RHAPSIDO (N = 606) n (%) Placebo (N = 306) n (%) Nasopharyngitis a 67 (11%) 27 (9%) Bleeding b 55 (9%) 6 (2%) Headache c 41 (7%) 19 (6%) Nausea 18 (3%) 5 (2%) Abdominal Pain d 18 (3%) 6 (2%) Specific Adverse Reactions Bleeding In the pooled safety population (REMIX-1 and REMIX-2), bleeding occurred in 9% of patients treated with RHAPSIDO compared to 2% in the placebo group during the 24-week controlled treatment period [see Dosage and Administration (2.2), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), and Drug Interactions (7.2)] .
Petechiae (4%) and contusion (2%) were the most commonly reported reactions in patients treated with RHAPSIDO. No severe bleeding reactions occurred. No association between bleeding reactions and low platelet counts was observed.
In patients treated with RHAPSIDO, 0.5% experienced bleeding reactions that led to RHAPSIDO discontinuation, while none of these reactions occurred in the placebo group. Similar safety findings were observed through Week 52 [see Clinical Studies (14)] .
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use with RHAPSIDO. ( 7.1 ) Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with RHAPSIDO. ( 7.1 ) P-gp Substrates: Exposure increases where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions: Monitor more frequently for adverse reactions when used concomitantly with RHAPSIDO.
( 7.2 ) Antithrombotic Agents: Consider the risks and benefits of concomitant use of antithrombotic agents with RHAPSIDO. ( 7.2 )
7.1Effect of Other Drugs on RHAPSIDO Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid use of RHAPSIDO with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. Remibrutinib is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor increases remibrutinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] , which may increase the risk of RHAPSIDO adverse reactions.
Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid use of RHAPSIDO with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Remibrutinib is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer decreases remibrutinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] , which may decrease the efficacy of RHAPSIDO.
7.2Effect of RHAPSIDO on Other Drugs P-gp Substrates Monitor more frequently for adverse reactions when using RHAPSIDO with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions (e.g., digoxin). Remibrutinib is a P-gp inhibitor. Remibrutinib increases exposure of P-gp substrates, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to P-gp substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .
Antithrombotic Agents Consider the risks and benefits of concomitant administration of antithrombotic agents with RHAPSIDO [see Dosage and Administration (2.2), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), and Adverse Reactions (6.1)] . No data are available on concomitant use of RHAPSIDO with anticoagulants. The concomitant use of RHAPSIDO and anticoagulants was not allowed in clinical studies.
Use of the antiplatelet agents, acetyl salicylic acid at doses up to 100 mg daily or clopidogrel up to 75 mg daily, was allowed in the RHAPSIDO clinical studies.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Mild, Moderate, or Severe Hepatic Impairment: Avoid use of RHAPSIDO. ( 8.6 )
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to RHAPSIDO during pregnancy. Pregnant women exposed to RHAPSIDO and healthcare providers are encouraged to contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation at 1-888-669-6682. Risk Summary Available data on the use of RHAPSIDO during pregnancy are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of remibrutinib to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis at exposures 141-times the human exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 25 mg twice daily based on area under the curve (AUC) resulted in adverse developmental outcomes including external malformations. No adverse developmental effects were observed with oral administration of remibrutinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis at exposures up to 126-times the human exposure at the MRHD (see Data) .
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. 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.
Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development (EFD) study in pregnant rabbits, remibrutinib was administered orally at doses of 100, 300, and 450 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Increased fetal external malformations (e.g. open/opaque eyes, small jaws, hyperflexion of forelimbs) and maternal toxicity (transiently reduced food consumption and adverse clinical signs) occurred at 300 mg/kg/day (141-times the MRHD based on AUC). The fetal findings were considered unlikely to be secondary to the maternal toxicity.
The dose of 450 mg/kg/day was not tolerated by the pregnant rabbits. In an EFD study in pregnant rats, remibrutinib was administered orally at doses of 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Remibrutinib did not cause adverse effects to the fetus at exposures up to 126 times that at the MRHD based on AUC.
In a pre- and postnatal development (PPND) study, remibrutinib was administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg/day from gestation day 6 to lactation day (LD) 21. Remibrutinib induced adverse effects at 1000 mg/kg/day (approximately 194 times the MRHD based on body surface area [BSA]), affected maternal animals (moribundity and clinical signs of toxicity, slightly longer gestation lengths) and offspring up to LD1 (slightly higher mean number of stillborn, dead, or missing pups, and smaller mean litter size).
No adverse effects at doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day were noted in the surviving offspring developing into adulthood. No effects were observed at 300 mg/kg/day (approximately 58 times the MRHD based on BSA).
8.2Lactation Risk Summary No data are available regarding the presence of remibrutinib in either human or animal milk, its effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for RHAPSIDO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from RHAPSIDO or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of RHAPSIDO have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5Geriatric Use Of the total number of patients treated with RHAPSIDO in clinical studies for CSU, 53 (8.7%) were 65 to 85 years of age, with no patients over 85 years of age [see Clinical Studies (14)] . There were no observed differences in safety and/or effectiveness in geriatric patients compared to younger adult patients.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Remibrutinib is an oral, small molecule kinase inhibitor that inhibits Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK). BTK is an intracellular protein expressed in mast cells, basophils, B cells, macrophages, and thrombocytes. BTK is involved in intracellular signaling via Fc epsilon receptor-1 (FcεR1), Fc gamma receptors (FcγR), and the B cell antigen receptor (BCR).
Remibrutinib also inhibits the BTK-related kinases tec protein tyrosine kinase (TEC) and BMX non-receptor tyrosine kinase (BMX). Remibrutinib inhibits mast cell and basophil degranulation, including release of histamine and other proinflammatory mediators, mediated by pathogenic IgE or IgG directed against the FcεR1 or IgE.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Exposure-Response Within the range from 0.2 to 4 times the daily recommended dose, a flat dose-response relationship was observed for the weekly urticaria activity score (UAS7) at Week 4. Cardiac Electrophysiology At concentrations approximately 9 times the mean steady state peak plasma concentrations provided by the recommended dose, clinically significant QTc prolongation was not observed. Effects on Blood Pressure The effect of remibrutinib treatment on blood pressure was assessed in CSU patients using a 24-hour blood pressure measurement by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) at steady state (Week 4) compared to baseline in a multi-center, open-label study (A2305).
The study enrolled 144 patients with CSU inadequately controlled by H1 antihistamines, who were administered remibrutinib 25 mg twice daily. Remibrutinib 25 mg twice daily was not associated with clinically significant changes in blood pressure.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Following administration of remibrutinib 25 mg twice daily, the mean (standard deviation) C max is 57 (27) ng/mL and AUC last is 193 (136) ng*h/mL at steady state. Remibrutinib C max and AUC increase in a dose-proportional manner between 0.4 to 4 times the recommended dosage. Following administration of multiple doses of 25 mg twice daily, C max increases 1.6-fold and AUC 0-4 increases 2.7-fold.
No clinically significant differences in remibrutinib pharmacokinetics were observed between healthy subjects and patients with CSU. Absorption Remibrutinib median (min, max) time to maximum plasma concentration (T max ) is 1 hour (0, 4 hours) at steady state. Effect of food No clinically significant differences in remibrutinib pharmacokinetics were observed following administration of a high-fat meal (1000 calories, 50% fat).
Distribution Remibrutinib blood-to-plasma ratio is 0.813 in vitro. Plasma protein binding is 95.4% and is not concentration-dependent in vitro. The estimated remibrutinib steady state apparent (oral) volume of distribution is 1238 L.
Elimination Remibrutinib estimated elimination half-life is 1 to 2 hours with an apparent (oral) clearance of 160 L/hr. Metabolism Remibrutinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Excretion Following IV administration of 14 C remibrutinib to healthy subjects, 70% of the total radioactivity was recovered in feces (0% as unchanged remibrutinib), and 30% was recovered in urine (2.9% as unchanged remibrutinib).
Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of remibrutinib were observed based on age (range: 18 to 80 years), sex (63.5% females and 36.5% males), race/ethnicity (59.3% Non-Asian [White, Black, and Others], 8.8% Mainland Chinese, 12.2% Japanese, and 19.7% other Asian), body weight (range: 39 to 162 kg), and mild (eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), moderate (eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) or severe (eGFR 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) renal impairment. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The pharmacokinetics of remibrutinib were evaluated in subjects with mild (Child-Pugh Class A), moderate (Child-Pugh Class B), and severe (Child-Pugh Class C) hepatic impairment following administration of 25 mg twice daily.
