⏳ 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.

5.1Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) has occurred in patients treated with Lynparza and some cases were fatal. In clinical studies, among 2219 patients with various BRCA m, g BRCA m, HRR gene-mutated or HRD-positive cancers who received Lynparza as a single agent or as part of combination regimen, consistent with approved indications, the cumulative incidence of MDS/AML was approximately 1.2% (26/2219) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Of these, 54% (14/26) had a fatal outcome.
The median duration of therapy with Lynparza in patients who developed MDS/AML was approximately 2 years (range: < 6 months to > 4 years). All of these patients had received previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA damaging agents including radiotherapy. In SOLO1, patients with newly diagnosed advanced BRCA m ovarian cancer, the incidence of MDS/AML was 1.9% (5/260) in patients who received Lynparza and 0.8% (1/130) in patients who received placebo based on an updated analysis.
In PAOLA-1, of patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with HRD-positive status, the incidence of MDS/AML was 1.6% (4/255) in patients who received Lynparza and 2.3% (3/131) in the control arm. In SOLO2, patients with BRCA m platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer, the incidence of MDS/AML was 8% (15/195) in patients who received Lynparza and 4% (4/99) in patients who received placebo. The duration of Lynparza treatment prior to the diagnosis of MDS/AML ranged from 0.6 years to 4.5 years.
Do not start Lynparza until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (≤ Grade 1). Monitor complete blood count for cytopenia at baseline and monthly thereafter for clinically significant changes during treatment. For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt Lynparza and monitor blood counts weekly until recovery.
If the levels have not recovered to Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. If MDS/AML is confirmed, discontinue Lynparza.
5.2Pneumonitis Pneumonitis, including severe and fatal cases, has occurred in patients treated with Lynparza. In clinical studies, among patients who received Lynparza as a single agent or as part of a combination regimen [see Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. ] , the incidence of pneumonitis, including fatal cases, was 1.0% (29/2851).
If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough and fever, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt Lynparza treatment and promptly assess the source of the symptoms. If pneumonitis is confirmed, discontinue Lynparza treatment and treat the p…

6.1Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction 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. Unless otherwise specified, the data described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to Lynparza as a single agent or as part of a combination regimen (SOLO-1, SOLO-2, PAOLA-1, OlympiA, OlympiAD, POLO, PROfound, and PROpel) in 2851 patients that were pooled to conduct safety analyses.
Additional data reflect exposure to Lynparza as a single agent in 2901 patients; 2135 patients with exposure to 300 mg twice daily tablet dose including five controlled, randomized, trials (SOLO-1, SOLO-2, OlympiAD, POLO, and PROfound) and to 400 mg twice daily capsule dose in 766 patients in other trials that were pooled to conduct safety analyses. In this pooled single agent safety population, 56% of patients were exposed for 6 months or longer and 28% were exposed for greater than one year in the Lynparza group. In this pooled single agent safety population, the most common adverse reactions in ≥10% of patients were nausea (60%), fatigue (55%), anemia (36%), vomiting (32%), diarrhea (24%), decreased appetite (22%), headache (16%), dysgeusia (15%), cough (15%), neutropenia (14%), dyspnea (14%), dizziness (12%), dyspepsia (12%), leukopenia (11%), and thrombocytopenia (10%).
First-Line Maintenance Treatment of BRCA -mutated Advanced Ovarian Cancer SOLO-1 The safety of Lynparza for the maintenance treatment of patients with BRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer following first-line treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy was investigated in SOLO- 1 [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Patients received Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily (n=260) or placebo (n=130) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of study treatment was 25 months for patients who received Lynparza and 14 months for patients who received placebo.
Among patients who received Lynparza, dose interruptions due to an adverse reaction of any grade occurred in 52% and dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 28%. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to dose interruption or reduction of Lynparza were anemia (23%), nausea (14%), and vomiting (10%). Discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred in 12% of patients receiving Lynparza.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed. (8.2)
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] , Lynparza can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on Lynparza use in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, the administration of olaparib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused teratogenicity and embryo-fetal toxicity at exposures below those in patients receiving the recommended human dose of 300 mg twice daily (see Data ).
Apprise pregnant women of the potential hazard to the fetus and the potential risk for loss of the pregnancy. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. The estimated background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2-4%; and the risk for spontaneous abortion is approximately 15-20% in clinically recognized pregnancies.
Data Animal Data In a fertility and early embryonic development study in female rats, olaparib was administered orally for 14 days before mating through to Day 6 of pregnancy, which resulted in increased post-implantation loss at a dose level of 15 mg/kg/day (with maternal systemic exposures approximately 7% of the human exposure (AUC 0-24h ) at the recommended dose). In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 0.05 and 0.5 mg/kg/day olaparib during the period of organogenesis. A dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day (with maternal systemic exposures approximately 0.18% of human exposure (AUC 0-24h ) at the recommended dose) caused embryo-fetal toxicities including increased post-implantation loss and major malformations of the eyes (anophthalmia, microphthalmia), vertebrae/ribs (extra rib or ossification center; fused or absent neural arches, ribs, and sternebrae), skull (fused exoccipital), and diaphragm (hernia).
Additional abnormalities or variants included incomplete or absent ossification (vertebrae/sternebrae, ribs, limbs) and other findings in the vertebrae/sternebrae, pelvic girdle, lung, thymus, liver, ureter, and umbilical artery. Some findings noted above in the eyes, ribs, and ureter were observed at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg/day olaparib at lower incidence.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary No data are available regarding the presence of olaparib in human milk, or on its effects on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infants from Lynparza, advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with Lynparza and for one month after receiving the last dose.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Lynparza can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with Lynparza. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Lynparza and for 6 months following the last dose.
Males Based on findings in genetic toxicity and animal reproduction studies, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of Lynparza. Advise male patients not to donate sperm during therapy and for 3 months following the last dose of Lynparza [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] .

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Olaparib is an inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes, including PARP1, PARP2, and PARP3. PARP enzymes are involved in normal cellular functions, such as DNA transcription and DNA repair. Olaparib has been shown to inhibit growth of select tumor cell lines in vitro and decrease tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of human cancer, both as monotherapy or following platinum-based chemotherapy.
Increased cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity following treatment with olaparib were noted in cell lines and mouse tumor models with deficiencies in BRCA1/2 , ATM , or other genes involved in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) of DNA damage and correlated with platinum response. In vitro studies have shown that olaparib-induced cytotoxicity may involve inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity and increased formation of PARP-DNA complexes, resulting in DNA damage and cancer cell death. In prostate cancer models, PARP1 has been shown to contribute to androgen receptor (AR) activity regulation; the combination of olaparib and AR inhibition resulted in cytotoxicity in vitro and anti-tumor activity in mouse xenograft models.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of olaparib on cardiac repolarization was assessed in 119 patients following a single dose of 300 mg and in 109 patients following multiple dosing of 300 mg twice daily. No clinically relevant effect of olaparib on QT interval was observed.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The area under the curve (AUC) of olaparib increases approximately proportionally following administration of single doses of 25 mg to 450 mg (0.08 to 1.5 times the recommended dose) and maximal concentrations (C max ) increased slightly less than proportionally for the same dose range. Olaparib showed time-dependent pharmacokinetics and an AUC mean accumulation ratio of 1.8 is observed at steady state following a dose of 300 mg twice daily. The mean (CV%) olaparib C max is 5.4 μg/mL (32%) and AUC is 39.2 μg*h/mL (44%) following a single 300 mg dose.
The mean steady state olaparib C max and AUC is 7.6 μg/mL (35%) and 49.2 μg*h/mL (44%), following a dose of 300 mg twice daily. Absorption Following oral administration of olaparib, the median time to peak plasma concentration is 1.5 hours. Effect of Food Co-administration of a high fat and high calorie meal (800-1000 kcal, 50% of the calorie content made up from fat) with olaparib slowed the rate (t max delayed by 2.5 hours) of absorption, but did not significantly alter the extent of olaparib absorption (mean AUC increased by approximately 8%).
Distribution The mean (± standard deviation) apparent volume of distribution of olaparib is 158 ± 136 L following a single 300 mg dose of Lynparza. The protein binding of olaparib is approximately 82% in vitro. Elimination The mean (± standard deviation) terminal plasma half-life of olaparib is 14.9 ± 8.2 hours and the apparent plasma clearance is 7.4 ±
3.9L/h following a single 300 mg dose of Lynparza. Metabolism Olaparib is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A in vitro. Following an oral dose of radiolabeled olaparib to female patients, unchanged olaparib accounted for 70% of the circulating radioactivity in plasma.
It was extensively metabolized with unchanged drug accounting for 15% and 6% of radioactivity in urine and feces, respectively. The majority of the metabolism is attributable to oxidation reactions with a number of the components produced undergoing subsequent glucuronide or sulfate conjugation. Excretion Following a single dose of radiolabeled olaparib, 86% of the dosed radioactivity was recovered within a 7-day collection period, 44% via the urine and 42% via the feces.
The majority of the material was excreted as metabolites. Specific Populations Patients with Renal Impairment In a renal impairment trial, the mean AUC increased by 24% and C max by 15%, when olaparib was dosed in patients with mild renal impairment (CLcr=51-80…

💬 Medication Guide ▾
Medication Guide Lynparza ® (Lin-par-zah) (olaparib) tablets What is the most important information I should know about Lynparza? Lynparza may cause serious side effects, including: • Bone marrow problems called Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Some people who have received previous treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or certain other medicines for their cancer have developed MDS or AML during treatment with Lynparza.
MDS or AML may lead to death. Symptoms of low blood cell counts are common during treatment with Lynparza, but can be a sign of serious bone marrow problems, including MDS or AML. Symptoms may include: ∘ weakness ∘ weight loss ∘ fever ∘ frequent infections ∘ blood in urine or stool ∘ shortness of breath ∘ feeling very tired ∘ bruising or bleeding more easily Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check your blood cell counts: ∘ before treatment with Lynparza ∘ every month during treatment with Lynparza ∘ weekly if you have low blood cell counts that last a long time. • Lung problems (Pneumonitis).
Lynparza can cause serious lung problems that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any new or worsening symptoms of lung problems, including shortness of breath, fever, cough, or wheezing.
