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 | Jul 17, 2035 |

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 practice. A total of 3,224 pediatric subjects received the recommended dose of BEYFORTUS in Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials (Trials 03, 04, and 05) including 2,119 infants who were born at 35 weeks gestational age (GA) or older, and 1,105 infants who were born at less than 35 weeks GA.
A total of 247 infants of any GA with chronic lung disease (CLD) of prematurity or hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease (CHD) in Trial 05 received the recommended dose of BEYFORTUS. Neonates and Infants Entering Their First RSV Season (Trial 03 and Trial 04) Trial 03 was a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial conducted in preterm infants born at a GA of greater than or equal to 29 weeks to less than 35 weeks. Subjects were randomized 2:1 to receive BEYFORTUS (N=968) or placebo (N=479) by IM injection.
All subjects randomized to BEYFORTUS received a single 50 mg IM dose regardless of body weight. Safety data in Trial 03 are presented only for the infants in the BEYFORTUS arm who received the recommended dose [infants who weighed less than 5 kg and who received a single dose of 50 mg BEYFORTUS IM (N=572) or placebo (N=288)]. Trial 04 was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted in late preterm and term infants born at greater than or equal to 35 weeks GA.
Trial 04 enrolled subjects sequentially into two cohorts: the Primary Cohort was used for the primary efficacy analysis [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ] and for assessment of safety, and the Safety Cohort was used primarily for safety assessment. All subjects from both cohorts of Trial 04 were included in the safety analysis (BEYFORTUS N=1,997 and placebo N=997). Subjects in Trial 04 weighing less than 5 kg received a single 50 mg IM dose of BEYFORTUS and infants weighing greater than or equal to 5 kg received a single 100 mg IM dose.
Infants who received the recommended dose in Trial 03 and infants in Trial 04 were pooled to evaluate the safety of BEYFORTUS (N=2,570) compared to placebo (N=1,284). At randomization, in this pooled Safety Population from Trials 03 and 04 cohorts, 22% of infants were born at less than 35 weeks GA, 10% of infants were GA greater than or equal to 35 weeks and less than 37 weeks; 68% were GA greater than or equal to 37 weeks; 52% were male; 57% were White; 15% were Black; 4% were American Indian/Alaskan native; 4% were Asian; 1% were Pacific Islander; and 19% were Other or Mixed Race; 30% were Hispanic or Latino; 73% were from Northern Hemisphere; and 53% weighed less than 5 kg.
The median age was 2 months; 65% were less than or equal to 3 months; 28% were greater than 3 to less than or equal to 6 months, and 7% were greater than 6 months of age. (Refer to Sections 14.2 and 14.3, Clinical Studies, for a description of the efficacy populations in Trials 03 and 04). In both trials, infants received a single dose of IM BEYFORTUS or placebo on Study Day 1 and were monitored for at least 60 minutes post-dose.
Subjects were followed for 360 days post-dose to assess safety. Adverse reactions were reported in 1.2% of subjects who received BEYFORTUS; most (97%) of adverse reactions were mild to moderate in intensity. Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in Trial 03 and Trial 04 (Safety Population) in subjects who received the recommended dose of BEYFORTUS.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action BEYFORTUS is a monoclonal antibody with anti-RSV activity [see Microbiology (12.4) ] .
12.2Pharmacodynamics There is a positive correlation between a serum nirsevimab-alip AUC (based on clearance at baseline) above 12.8 mg*day/mL and a lower incidence of medically attended RSV lower respiratory tract infection (MA RSV LRTI). Following IM administration of nirsevimab-alip in adults, RSV neutralizing antibody levels in serum were approximately 4 times higher than baseline at 8 hours after nirsevimab-alip dosing, and maximum levels were reached by day 6 following IM administration of nirsevimab-alip in adults.
The safety and effectiveness of BEYFORTUS have not been established in adults. Duration of Protection Based on clinical data, the duration of protection offered by a single dose of BEYFORTUS extends through 5 months.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The PK of nirsevimab-alip is dose-proportional following a single IM administration of doses ranging from 25 mg (0.5 times the lowest approved recommended dosage) to 200 mg in pediatric subjects. Following the recommended dose, the nirsevimab-alip serum exposures were similar in neonates and infants born during or entering their first RSV season (Trials 03 and 04), and in neonates and infants born at less than 35 weeks GA (including less than 29 weeks GA) in their first RSV season (Trial 05), and in pediatric subjects up to 24 months of age with CLD or CHD in their first and second RSV season (Trial 05).
Absorption The estimated nirsevimab-alip absolute bioavailability is 84% and the median time (range) to maximum concentration is 6 (1, 28) days. Distribution The estimated nirsevimab-alip total volume of distribution is 477 mL, for an infant weighing 5 kg. Elimination The nirsevimab-alip terminal half-life is approximately 71 days and the estimated clearance is 3.42 mL/day for an infant weighing 5 kg.
Metabolism Nirsevimab-alip is degraded into small peptides by catabolic pathways. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of nirsevimab-alip were observed based on race or vulnerability to severe RSV disease (i.e., CLD, CHD, GA <29 weeks). The mean and median serum nirsevimab-alip concentrations in Trial 08 were lower than the concentrations in Trials 04 and 05.
However, Trial 08 exposures were within the range shown to be effective in those who received the recommended dosage in Trials 03, 04, and 05 [see Pediatric Use (8.4) ] . Drug Interaction Studies No formal drug interaction studies have been performed with BEYFORTUS. Nirsevimab-alip is not predicted to be a substrate of, inhibitor or inducer of cytochrome P450 enzymes or transporter systems based on a mechanistic understanding of monoclonal antibodies.
Clinical Studies Vaccines : There is limited experience with co-administration of BEYFORTUS with vaccines. In clinical trials, when BEYFORTUS was given concomitantly with routine childhood vaccines, the safety and reactogenicity profile of the co-administered regimen was similar to the childhood vaccines given alone.
12.4Microbiology Mechanism of Action Nirsevimab-alip is a recombinant human IgG1κ monoclonal antibody that provides passive immunity by targeting the prefusion conformation of the RSV F protein. Nirsevimab-alip is long-acting due to a triple amino acid substitution (YTE) in the Fc region which increases binding to the neonatal Fc receptor and thereby extends serum half-life. Nirsevimab-alip binds to a conserved epitope in antigenic site Ø on the prefusion protein with dissociation constants K D = 0.12 nM and K D = 1.22 nM for RSV subtype A and B strains, respectively; it neutralizes RSV by inhibiting conformation changes in the F protein necessary for fusion of the viral and cellular membranes and viral entry.
Antiviral Activity The cell culture neutralization activity of nirsevimab-alip against RSV was measured in a concentration-response model using cultured Hep-2 cells. Nirsevim… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

💬 Information for Patients ▾
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the child's caregiver to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information). Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis Inform the patient's caregiver of the signs and symptoms of potential hypersensitivity reactions, and advise the caregiver to seek medical attention immediately if the child experiences a hypersensitivity reaction to BEYFORTUS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Dosage and Administration Advise the caregiver that the child will receive one dose of BEYFORTUS by IM injection by a healthcare provider.
If the child remains at increased risk for RSV, they may receive a second dose in the second RSV season [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ].
🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
12.3Pharmacokinetics The PK of nirsevimab-alip is dose-proportional following a single IM administration of doses ranging from 25 mg (0.5 times the lowest approved recommended dosage) to 200 mg in pediatric subjects. Following the recommended dose, the nirsevimab-alip serum exposures were similar in neonates and infants born during or entering their first RSV season (Trials 03 and 04), and in neonates and infants born at less than 35 weeks GA (including less than 29 weeks GA) in their first RSV season (Trial 05), and in pediatric subjects up to 24 months of age with CLD or CHD in their first and second RSV season (Trial 05).
Absorption The estimated nirsevimab-alip absolute bioavailability is 84% and the median time (range) to maximum concentration is 6 (1, 28) days. Distribution The estimated nirsevimab-alip total volume of distribution is 477 mL, for an infant weighing 5 kg. Elimination The nirsevimab-alip terminal half-life is approximately 71 days and the estimated clearance is 3.42 mL/day for an infant weighing 5 kg.
Metabolism Nirsevimab-alip is degraded into small peptides by catabolic pathways. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of nirsevimab-alip were observed based on race or vulnerability to severe RSV disease (i.e., CLD, CHD, GA <29 weeks). The mean and median serum nirsevimab-alip concentrations in Trial 08 were lower than the concentrations in Trials 04 and 05.
However, Trial 08 exposures were within the range shown to be effective in those who received the recommended dosage in Trials 03, 04, and 05 [see Pediatric Use (8.4) ] . Drug Interaction Studies No formal drug interaction studies have been performed with BEYFORTUS. Nirsevimab-alip is not predicted to be a substrate of, inhibitor or inducer of cytochrome P450 enzymes or transporter systems based on a mechanistic understanding of monoclonal antibodies.
Clinical Studies Vaccines : There is limited experience with co-administration of BEYFORTUS with vaccines. In clinical trials, when BEYFORTUS was given concomitantly with routine childhood vaccines, the safety and reactogenicity profile of the co-administered regimen was similar to the childhood vaccines given alone.
🧬 Pharmacodynamics ▾
12.2Pharmacodynamics There is a positive correlation between a serum nirsevimab-alip AUC (based on clearance at baseline) above 12.8 mg*day/mL and a lower incidence of medically attended RSV lower respiratory tract infection (MA RSV LRTI). Following IM administration of nirsevimab-alip in adults, RSV neutralizing antibody levels in serum were approximately 4 times higher than baseline at 8 hours after nirsevimab-alip dosing, and maximum levels were reached by day 6 following IM administration of nirsevimab-alip in adults.
The safety and effectiveness of BEYFORTUS have not been established in adults. Duration of Protection Based on clinical data, the duration of protection offered by a single dose of BEYFORTUS extends through 5 months.

14.2Prevention of MA RSV LRTI in Infants Born at ≥29 to <35 Weeks Gestational Age (Trial 03) Trial 03 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial for the prevention of Medically Attended Respiratory Syncytial Virus Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (MA RSV LRTI) conducted in preterm infants born at gestational age (GA) greater than or equal to 29 weeks and less than 35 weeks. These subjects were randomized 2:1 to receive BEYFORTUS (N=969) or placebo (N=484) by IM injection. All subjects in the BEYFORTUS arm received 50 mg IM of BEYFORTUS regardless of body weight.
The recommended BEYFORTUS dose in neonates and infants born during or entering their first RSV season is a single IM 50 mg or 100 mg dose for those who weigh less than 5 kg and greater than or equal to 5 kg, respectively [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . At randomization, 20% were GA greater than or equal to 29 weeks and less than 32 weeks; 80% were GA greater than or equal to 32 and less than 35 weeks; 52% were male; 72% were White; 18% were Black; 1% were Asian; 1% were Pacific Islander, and 8% were Other or Mixed Race; 22% were Hispanic or Latino; 68% were from Northern Hemisphere.
The median age was 2.8 months (range: 0.1 to 11.9 months); 53% were less than or equal to 3 months; 33% were greater than 3 to less than or equal to 6 months, and 14% were greater than 6 months of age. The primary endpoint was the incidence of MA RSV LRTI caused by RT-PCR-confirmed RSV, characterized predominantly as bronchiolitis or pneumonia through 150 days after dosing. Medically Attended (MA) includes all healthcare provider visits such as physician office, urgent care, emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
Signs of LRTI involvement included rhonchi, rales, crackles, or wheezing; and at least one sign of worsening clinical severity including at least one of the following: increased respiratory rate, hypoxemia, acute hypoxic or ventilatory failure, new onset apnea, nasal flaring, retractions, grunting, or dehydration due to respiratory distress. Incidence of RSV LRTI with hospitalization was a prespecified secondary endpoint. RSV hospitalization was defined as hospitalization for LR… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
