Label name KLISYRI 1% (250 MG) OINT PKT Ingredient Tirbanibulin
📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Tirbanibulin is used to treat actinic keratosis (flat, scaly growths on the skin caused by too much sun exposure) on the face or scalp. Tirbanibulin is in a class of medications called microtubule inhibitors. It works by killing fast-growing cells such as the abnormal cells associated with actinic keratoses.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer gPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.
Medicare drug plans payPart D · Q2 2026 $225.06 $281.32 / 1.25 g
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Sep 2038. This may affect when a full generic version becomes widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.

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.

Substance patent Formulation patent Method-of-use patent Exclusivity Pediatric +6mo
🏛️FDA exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.
🧪Product / substance patents
Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.
🎯Method-of-use patents
Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.
🛈 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.

Common questions
Is there a generic version of KLISYRI 1% (250 MG) OINT PKT?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for KLISYRI 1% (250 MG) OINT PKT. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Sep 2038 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date.
The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?
FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.
Why do different websites show different generic release dates?
Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).
What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?
It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.
Can a generic come out after the listed dates?
Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.
What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?
Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.
Why are there multiple patent dates?
One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.
Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

📊 Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Klisyri — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 1 manufacturer.
⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Klisyri. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.

💵 About the dollar figures: spending is what Part D plans paid before confidential manufacturer rebates, so the program’s real net cost is lower. A blank patient count means fewer than 11 people — CMS hides counts that small to protect privacy. Source: CMS Medicare Quarterly Part D Spending by Drug (data.cms.gov), updated quarterly.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 16110-391-05, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 16110-0391-05, written without dashes as 16110039105. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.
What do the three segments of this NDC mean?
In 16110-0391-05, the first segment (16110) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Almirall, LLC; the middle segment (0391) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (05) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Almirall, LLC. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Does this product come in other package sizes?
Yes — the FDA directory lists 1 other package presentation of this same product, including 5 packets (16110-0391-55). Each has its own NDC and its own page — see the package list near the top of this page.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Almirall, LLC is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2%) are local skin reactions, application site pruritus, and application site pain. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Almirall, at 1-866-665-2782 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 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 clinical practice. Two double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trials were conducted in 702 adult subjects with actinic keratosis on the face or scalp. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to KLISYRI or vehicle.

Subjects enrolled in the trials had 4 to 8 clinically typical, visible, and discrete AK lesions in a contiguous area of 25 cm 2 on the face or scalp. Subjects’ average age was 70 years (range 45 to 96 years) and they were predominantly White (99%), male (87%), with Fitzpatrick skin types I or II (72%) and actinic keratosis on the face (68%) or scalp (32%). Treatment groups were comparable across all demographics and baseline characteristics, including AK lesion count and distribution on the face or scalp.

In the controlled trials, local skin reactions (LSRs) were collected independent of adverse events. Local skin reactions including erythema, flaking/scaling, crusting, swelling, vesiculation/pustulation, erosions/ulcerations were assessed by the investigators using a grading scale of 0 = absent, 1 = mild (slightly, barely perceptible), 2 = moderate (distinct presence), and 3 = severe (marked, intense).

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data with KLISYRI use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of tirbanibulin to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in an increased incidence of fetal deaths and malformations at a systemic exposure that was at least 19 times the exposure associated with the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). Oral administration of tirbanibulin to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced mean fetal weight and size at a systemic exposure that was 41 times the exposure associated with 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 risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

Data Animal Data Tirbanibulin induced fetal deaths and external, visceral, and skeletal malformations when administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at doses greater than or equal to 1.25 mg/kg/day, which resulted in systemic exposures at least 19 times the exposure associated with the MRHD on an Area Under the Curve (AUC) comparison basis. Tirbanibulin had no apparent effects on fetal development in rats at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day, which resulted in systemic exposures 5 times the exposure associated with the MRHD.

Tirbanibulin reduced mean fetal weight and size (crown-rump length) when administered orally to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis at a dose of 3 mg/kg/day, which resulted in a systemic exposure 41 times the exposure associated with the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis. Tirbanibulin had no apparent effects on fetal development in rabbits at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day, which resulted in systemic exposures 14 times the exposure associated with the MRHD. Tirbanibulin was assessed for effects on peri- and post-natal development of rats in a study that involved oral administration to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis through lactation at dosages up to 1.25 mg/kg/day.

These dosages resulted in systemic exposures up to 19 times the exposure associated with the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis. No adverse effects on maternal function or developmental, neurobehavioral, or reproductive performance of offspring were observed.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on lactational transfer of KLISYRI to human or animal milk. The effects of KLISYRI on the breastfed infant, or its effects on milk production, are unknown. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for KLISYRI and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from tirbanibulin or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of KLISYRI for actinic keratosis in subjects less than 18 years of age have not been established. Actinic keratosis is not a condition generally seen within the pediatric population.

8.5Geriatric Use Of the 353 subjects with AK treated with KLISYRI in the 2 controlled Phase 3 trials, 246 (70%) were 65 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Tirbanibulin is a microtubule inhibitor. The mechanism of action of KLISYRI for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis is unknown.

12.2Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamics of tirbanibulin in the treatment of actinic keratosis is unknown.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption Following topical treatment of a mean daily dose of 348 mg (range: 224 to 435 mg) of KLISYRI to a 100 cm 2 contiguous area of the face or balding scalp, once daily for 5 consecutive days. On Day 5, systemic exposure to tirbanibulin had a mean±SD maximum plasma concentration (C max ) of 1.32±0.74 ng/mL and 0.71±0.31 ng/mL, and a mean±SD area under the plasma concentration from time zero to 24 hours (AUC 24 ) of 19.6±8.1 h∗ng/mL and 11.7±4.4 h∗ng/mL, in subjects who received the face and scalp topical treatment, respectively.

The median time to reach C max (T max ) was ~6 hours. Distribution Plasma protein binding of tirbanibulin is 88% and is independent of concentrations in the range of 0.01 to 10 µg/mL. Elimination Metabolism Following topical treatment with KLISYRI to adult subjects with actinic keratosis, the plasma concentrations of KX2-5036, KX2-5163, and KX2-5180, three pharmacologically inactive metabolites, were detectable with the highest plasma concentrations of 0.36 ng/mL, 0.42 ng/mL, and 1.70 ng/mL, respectively.

The in vitro study indicated that incubation of 1 or 10 µM tirbanibulin with human hepatocytes generated KX2-5036, KX2-5162 and other unidentified metabolites. In vitro, tirbanibulin is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4, and to a lesser extent, CYP2C8. Excretion Excretion of tirbanibulin has not been fully characterized in humans.

Drug Interactions Clinical Studies No clinical studies evaluating the drug interaction potential of KLISYRI have been conducted. In Vitro Studies CYP Enzymes: Tirbanibulin and the metabolite KX2-5036 directly or time-dependently inhibited CYP 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 3A4 with an IC 50 value of >17 µM. Tirbanibulin up to 1 µM (431.5 ng/mL) and the metabolite KX2-5036 up to 3 µM (1024 ng/mL) did not induce CYP 1A2, 2B6, or 3A4.

The metabolite KX2-5180 was neither an inhibitor of CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6 or 3A4 with an IC 50 value of > 225 nM (85 ng/mL) nor an inducer of CYP1A2, 2B6, and 3A4 at a concentration of 225 nM (85 ng/mL). These findings suggest that KLISYRI has no clinically meaningful effect on the PK of drugs metabolized by CYP 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 3A4. Drug Transporters: Neither tirbanibulin nor the metabolite KX2-5036 was a substrate of MDR1, BCRP, BSEP, MRP2, MATE1, MATE2-K, OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1 or OCT2.

The metabolite KX2-5180 was a substrate of BCRP, but not a substrate for other transporters. Tirbanibulin and the metabolites of KX2-5036 and KX2-5180 inhibited MDR1, BCRP, MRP2, BSEP, MATE1, MATE2-K, OAT1, OTA3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1 and/or OCT2 with an IC 50 50 value of >1 µM. The results suggest that KLISYRI has no clinically meaningful effect on the PK of drugs mediated by MDR1, BCRP, MRP2, BSEP, MATE1, MATE2-K, OAT1, OTA3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1 and OCT2.
