Availability & generic status
The FDA lists approved generic versions of this medicine, but that does not always mean a pharmacy can get one today. Patent rules, launch agreements, supply and pricing can affect when generics actually arrive.
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.

5.1Severe Neutropenia ONIVYDE can cause severe or life-threatening neutropenia and fatal neutropenic sepsis. In NAPOLI 3, Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia occurred in 26% of patients receiving ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin (NALIRIFOX) and fatal neutropenic fever in 0.3% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. In NAPOLI-1, Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia occurred in 20% of patients receiving ONIVYDE in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin (ONIVYDE/FU/LV).
Neutropenic sepsis occurred in 3% and fatal neutropenic sepsis in 0.8% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. In NAPOLI 3, the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was similar among Asian patients [6 of 20 (30%)] compared to White patients [76 of 289 (26%)] receiving ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin. Neutropenic fever was reported in 5% of Asian patients (1 of 20) compared to 2.3% of White patients (7 of 306).
In NAPOLI-1, the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was higher among Asian patients [18 of 33 (55%)] compared to White patients [13 of 73 (18%)] receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV. Neutropenic fever/neutropenic sepsis was reported in 6% of Asian patients compared to 1% of White patients [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Monitor complete blood cell counts on Days 1 and 8 of every cycle and more frequently if clinically indicated.
Withhold ONIVYDE if the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is below 1500/mm 3 or if neutropenic fever occurs. Resume ONIVYDE when the ANC is 1500/mm 3 or above. Reduce ONIVYDE dose for Grade 3-4 neutropenia or neutropenic fever following recovery in subsequent cycles [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .
5.2Severe Diarrhea ONIVYDE can cause severe and life-threatening diarrhea. Do not administer ONIVYDE to patients with a bowel obstruction. Severe or life-threatening diarrhea can follow one of two patterns: late onset diarrhea (onset more than 24 hours following chemotherapy) and early onset diarrhea (onset within 24 hours of chemotherapy, sometimes occurring with other symptoms of cholinergic reaction) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .
An individual patient may experience both early and late-onset diarrhea. In NAPOLI 3, Grade 3 and 4 diarrhea (early and late-onset) occurred in 20% receiving ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin (NALIRIFOX). In NAPOLI-1, Grade 3 or 4 diarrhea occurred in 13% receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV.
The incidence of Grade 3 or 4 late onset diarrhea was 9% in patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV. The incidence of Grade 3 or 4 early onset diarrhea was 3% in patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV. Of patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV in NAPOLI-1, 34% received loperamide for late-onset diarrhea and 26% received atropine for early-onset diarrhea.
To reduce the risk of severe diarrhea, patients should stop lactose-containing products, eat a low-fat diet and maintain hydration during treatment with ONIVYDE. Withhold ONIVYDE for Grade 2-4 diarrhea. Administer intravenous or subcutaneous atropine 0.25 to 1 mg (unless clinically contraindicated) for early onset diarrhea of any severity.
Initiate loperamide for late onset diarrhea of any severity. Local institutional guidelines should be followed for the treatment of diarrhea that does not improve within 48 hours and may include the addition of diphenoxylate hydrochloride plus atropine sulfate or octreotide. Following recovery to Grade 1 diarrhea, resume ONIVYDE at a reduced dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] .

( 7.1 ) Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Avoid the use of strong CYP3A4 or UGT1A1 inhibitors, if possible; discontinue strong CYP3A4 inhibitors at least 1 week prior to starting therapy. ( 7.2 )
7.1Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Following administration of non-liposomal irinotecan (i.e., irinotecan HCl), exposure to irinotecan or its active metabolite, SN-38, is substantially reduced in adult and pediatric patients concomitantly receiving the CYP3A4 enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants phenytoin and strong CYP3A4 inducers. Avoid the use of strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifabutin, rifapentine, phenobarbital, St. John's wort) if possible.
Substitute non-enzyme inducing therapies at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of ONIVYDE therapy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
7.2Strong CYP3A4 or UGT1A1 Inhibitors Following administration of non-liposomal irinotecan (i.e., irinotecan HCl), patients receiving concomitant ketoconazole, a CYP3A4 and UGT1A1 inhibitor, have increased exposure to irinotecan and its active metabolite SN-38. Co-administration of ONIVYDE with other inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, lopinavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telaprevir, voriconazole) or UGT1A1 (e.g., atazanavir, gemfibrozil, indinavir) may increase systemic exposure to irinotecan or SN-38.
Avoid the use of strong CYP3A4 or UGT1A1 inhibitors if possible. Discontinue strong CYP3A4 inhibitors at least 1 week prior to starting ONIVYDE therapy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Do not breastfeed. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal data with irinotecan HCl and the mechanism of action of ONIVYDE, ONIVYDE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data in pregnant women. Embryotoxicity and teratogenicity were observed following treatment with irinotecan HCl, at doses resulting in irinotecan exposures lower than those achieved with ONIVYDE 70 mg/m 2 in humans, administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis [see Data ] .
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data No animal studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of irinotecan liposome on reproduction and fetal development; however, studies have been conducted with irinotecan HCl.
Irinotecan crosses the placenta of rats following intravenous administration. Intravenous administration of irinotecan at a dose of 6 mg/kg/day to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in increased post-implantation loss and decreased numbers of live fetuses. In separate studies in rats, this dose resulted in an irinotecan exposure of approximately 0.002 times the exposure of irinotecan based on area under the curve (AUC) in patients administered ONIVYDE at the 70 mg/m 2 dose.
Administration of irinotecan HCl resulted in structural abnormalities and growth delays in rats at doses greater than 1.2 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.0002 times the clinical exposure to irinotecan in ONIVYDE based on AUC). Teratogenic effects included a variety of external, visceral, and skeletal abnormalities. Irinotecan HCl administered to rat dams for the period following organogenesis through weaning at doses of 6 mg/kg/day caused decreased learning ability and decreased female body weights in the offspring.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of irinotecan liposome, irinotecan, or SN-38 (an active metabolite of irinotecan) in human milk, or the effects on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Irinotecan is present in rat milk [see Data ]. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from ONIVYDE, advise a nursing woman not to breastfeed during treatment with ONIVYDE and for one month after the last dose.
Data Radioactivity appeared in rat milk within 5 minutes of intravenous administration of radiolabeled irinotecan HCl and was concentrated up to 65-fold at 4 hours after administration relative to plasma concentrations.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Contraception Females ONIVYDE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ONIVYDE and for seven months after the last dose. Males Because of the potential for genotoxicity, advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use condoms during treatment with ONIVYDE and for four months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ].
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of ONIVYDE have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5Geriatric Use Of the 634 patients who received ONIVYDE as a single agent, in combination with FU and leucovorin or in combination with oxaliplatin, FU and leucovorin in NAPOLI-1 and NAPOLI 3, 49% were ≥ 65 years old and 10% were ≥ 75 years old. No overall differences in safety and effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Irinotecan liposome injection is a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor encapsulated in a lipid bilayer vesicle or liposome. Topoisomerase 1 relieves torsional strain in DNA by inducing single-strand breaks. Irinotecan and its active metabolite SN-38 bind reversibly to the topoisomerase 1-DNA complex and prevent re-ligation of the single-strand breaks, leading to exposure time-dependent double-strand DNA damage and cell death.
In mice bearing human tumor xenografts, irinotecan liposome administered at irinotecan HCl-equivalent doses 5-fold lower than irinotecan HCl achieved similar intratumoral exposure of SN-38.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The plasma pharmacokinetics of total irinotecan and total SN-38 were evaluated in patients with cancer who received ONIVYDE, as a single agent or as part of combination chemotherapy, at doses between 35 mg/m 2 and 155 mg/m 2 and concentration proportional to dose was observed. The pharmacokinetic parameters of total irinotecan and total SN-38 following the administration of ONIVYDE 70 mg/m 2 as a single agent or part of combination chemotherapy are presented in Table 7. Table 7 Summary of Geometric Mean (CV) Total Irinotecan and Total SN-38 Dose (mg/m 2 ) Descriptive Statistics Total Irinotecan Total SN-38 C max [µg/mL] AUC SS [day∙µg/mL] t 1/2 [day] V [L] C max [ng/mL] AUC SS [day∙ng/mL] V [L] AUC SS : Area under the plasma concentration curve at steady-state t 1/2 : Terminal elimination half-life V: Volume of distribution 50 Geometric Mean 25.1 37.8 1.93 3.63 2.09 12.1

4.06CV (%) 19.7 75.3 26.4 28.1 64.5 58
29.4Distribution Direct measurement of irinotecan liposome showed that 95% of irinotecan remains liposome -encapsulated, and the ratios between total and encapsulated forms did not change with time from 0 to 170 hours post-dose. The mean volume of distribution is summarized in Table 7. Plasma protein binding is <0.44% of the total irinotecan in ONIVYDE.
Elimination Metabolism The metabolism of irinotecan liposome has not been evaluated. Irinotecan is subject to extensive metabolic conversion by various enzyme systems, including carboxylesterases to form the active metabolite SN-38, and UGT1A1 mediating glucuronidation of SN-38 to form the inactive glucuronide metabolite SN-38G. Irinotecan can also undergo CYP3A4-mediated oxidative metabolism to several inactive oxidation products, one of which can be hydrolyzed by carboxylesterase to release SN-38.
In the population PK analysis of irinotecan liposome, UGT1A1*28 7/7 homozygous status (10.6%) had no effect on SN-38 clearance compared with patients not homozygous for UGT1A1*28 7/7. Excretion The disposition of ONIVYDE has not been elucidated in humans. Following administration of irinotecan HCl, the urinary excretion of irinotecan is 11 to 20%; SN-38, <1%; and SN-38 glucuronide, 3%.
The cumulative biliary and urinary excretion of irinotecan and its metabolites (SN-38 and SN-38 glucuronide), over a period of 48 hours following administration of irinotecan HCl in two patients, ranged from approximately 25% (100 mg/m 2 ) to 50% (300 mg/m 2 ). Specific Populations Age, Sex, Ethnicity, Renal and Hepatic Impairment: The population pharmacokinetic analyses suggest that age (20 to 87 years) and BSA (1.15 to 2.88 m 2 ) had no clinically meaningful effect on the exposure of irinotecan and SN-38. Irinotecan and SN-38 AUC in female patients were 28% and 32% higher, respectively, than those in male patients.
Irinotecan AUC in patients of Asian ethnicity were 32% lower than that in non-Asian patients. The exposures of irinotecan and SN-38 in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment were comparable to patients with normal renal function after adjusting for BSA. The exposures of irinotecan and SN-38 in patients with mild hepatic impairment (based on NCI score) were comparable to patients with normal hepatic function.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma In Combination with Oxaliplatin, Fluorouracil and Leucovorin for First-Line Treatment of Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma The efficacy of ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin (NALIRIFOX) was evaluated in NAPOLI 3 (NCT04083235), a randomized, multicenter, open-label, active-controlled trial in 770 patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who had not previously received chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. Randomization was stratified by region, liver metastases and ECOG performance status.
Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive one of the following treatment arm: NALIRIFOX: ONIVYDE 50 mg/m 2 as an intravenous infusion over 90 minutes, followed by oxaliplatin 60 mg/m 2 as an intravenous infusion over 120 minutes, followed by leucovorin 400 mg/m 2 intravenously over 30 minutes, followed by fluorouracil 2400 mg/m 2 intravenously over 46 hours, every 2 weeks. Gem+NabP: Nab-paclitaxel 125 mg/m 2 as an intravenous infusion over 35 minutes, followed by gemcitabine 1000 mg/m 2 intravenously over 30 minutes on days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele initiated ONIVYDE at the same dose (50 mg/m 2 ONIVYDE). Treatment continued until RECIST v1.1 defined disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor status assessments were conducted at baseline and every 8 weeks thereafter as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
The main efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS). Additional efficacy measures were investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR). Baseline demographic and patient characteristics were: median age of 65 years (range: 20-85); 50% age 65 or older; 56% male; 83% White, 4.9% Asian, 2.5% Black or African American, 0.4% multiple race, 0.3% American Indian or Alaska Native; 0.1% Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, 1.7% other, 7% not reported; and 82% non-Hispanic, 10% Hispanic, 8% not reported.
ECOG performance status was 0 or 1 in 44% and 56% of patients, respectively; 80% had liver metastases. NAPOLI 3 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS and PFS for the NALIRIFOX arm over Gem+NabP arm as summarized in Table 8 and Figure 1.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility No studies have been performed to assess the potential of irinotecan liposome for carcinogenicity, genotoxicity or impairment of fertility. Intravenous administration of irinotecan hydrochloride to rats once weekly for 13 weeks followed by a 91-week recovery period resulted in a significant linear trend between irinotecan HCl dosage and the incidence of combined uterine horn endometrial stromal polyps and endometrial stromal sarcomas. Irinotecan HCl was clastogenic both in vitro (chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells) and in vivo (micronucleus test in mice).
Neither irinotecan nor its active metabolite, SN-38, was mutagenic in the in vitro Ames assay. Dedicated fertility studies have not been performed with irinotecan liposome injection. Atrophy of male and female reproductive organs was observed in dogs receiving irinotecan liposome injection every 3 weeks at doses equal to or greater than 15 mg/kg, (approximately 3 times the clinical exposure of irinotecan following administration to ONIVYDE dosed at 70 mg/m 2 ) for a total of 6 doses.
No significant adverse effects on fertility and general reproductive performance were observed after intravenous administration of irinotecan HCl in doses of up to 6 mg/kg/day to rats; however, atrophy of male reproductive organs was observed after multiple daily irinotecan HCl doses both in rodents at 20 mg/kg (approximately 0.007 times the clinical irinotecan exposure following ONIVYDE administration at 70 mg/m 2 ) and in dogs at 0.4 mg/kg (0.0007 times the clinical exposure to irinotecan following administration of ONIVYDE).
