💲 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.

⏳ 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.

( 5.3 ) Risk of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer: Perform periodic skin examinations. ( 5.4 ) Lipid Elevations: Assess lipid levels 8 to 12 weeks from start of therapy and treat as needed.
( 5.5 ) Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE): Monitor for development of MACE. ( 5.6 ) Thrombosis: Evaluate and treat symptoms of thrombosis promptly. ( 5.7 ) Secondary Malignancies: Monitor for development of secondary malignancies, particularly in patients who are current or past smokers.
( 5.8 )
5.1Thrombocytopenia, Anemia, and Neutropenia Treatment with JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR can cause thrombocytopenia, anemia, and neutropenia [ see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Manage thrombocytopenia by reducing the dose or temporarily interrupting JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR. Platelet transfusions may be necessary [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2 ) ] .
Patients developing anemia may require blood transfusions and/or dose modifications of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR. Severe neutropenia (ANC less than 0.5 × 10 9 /L) was generally reversible by withholding JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR until recovery. Perform a pre-treatment CBC and monitor CBCs every 2 to 4 weeks until doses are stabilized, and then as clinically indicated [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2 )] .
5.2Risk of Infection Serious bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal, and viral infections have occurred [ see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Delay starting therapy with JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR until active serious infections have resolved. Observe patients receiving JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR for signs and symptoms of infection and manage promptly.
Use active surveillance and prophylactic antibiotics according to clinical guidelines. Tuberculosis Tuberculosis infection has been reported in patients receiving JAKAFI. Observe patients receiving JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR for signs and symptoms of active tuberculosis and manage promptly.
Prior to initiating JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR, patients should be evaluated for tuberculosis risk factors, and those at higher risk should be tested for latent infection. Risk factors include, but are not limited to, prior residence in or travel to countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis, close contact with a person with active tuberculosis, and a history of active or latent tuberculosis where an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. For patients with evidence of active or latent tuberculosis, consult a physician with expertise in the treatment of tuberculosis before starting JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR.
The decision to continue JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR during treatment of active tuberculosis should be based on the overall risk-benefit determination. Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) has occurred with JAKAFI treatment. If PML is suspected, stop JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR and evaluate.
Herpes Zoster and Herpes Simplex Herpes zoster infection has been reported in patients receiving JAKAFI [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Advise patients about early signs and symptoms of herpes zoster and to seek treatment as early as possible if suspected. Herpes simplex virus reactivation and/or dissemination has been reported in patients receiving JAKAFI [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] .
Monitor patients for the development of herpes simplex infections. If a patient develops evidence of dissemination of herpes simplex, consider interrupting treatment with JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR; patients should be promptly treated and monitored according to clinical guidelines. Hepatitis B Hepatitis B viral load (HBV-DNA titer) increases, with or wit…

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. The safety of JAKAFI XR has been established from adequate and well-controlled studies of JAKAFI in adult patients with myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, and adult and pediatric patients with acute and chronic graft-versus-host-disease [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .
Below is a display of the adverse reactions of JAKAFI in these adequate and well-controlled studies. Myelofibrosis The safety of JAKAFI was assessed in 617 patients in 6 clinical studies with a median duration of follow-up of 10.9 months, including 301 patients with MF in 2 Phase 3 studies. In these 2 Phase 3 studies, patients had a median duration of exposure to JAKAFI of 9.5 months (range: 0.5 to 17 months), with 89% of patients treated for more than 6 months and 25% treated for more than 12 months.
One hundred and eleven (111) patients started treatment at 15 mg twice daily and 190 patients started at 20 mg twice daily. In patients starting treatment with 15 mg twice daily (pretreatment platelet counts of 100 to 200 × 10 9 /L) and 20 mg twice daily (pretreatment platelet counts greater than 200 × 10 9 /L), 65% and 25% of patients, respectively, required a dose reduction below the starting dose within the first 8 weeks of therapy. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of JAKAFI, among the 155 patients treated with JAKAFI, the most frequent adverse reactions were thrombocytopenia and anemia [see Table 14] .
Thrombocytopenia, anemia, and neutropenia are dose-related effects. The 3 most frequent nonhematologic adverse reactions were bruising, dizziness, and headache [see Table 13 ] . Discontinuation for adverse events, regardless of causality, was observed in 11% of patients treated with JAKAFI and 11% of patients treated with placebo.
Table 15 presents the most common nonhematologic adverse reactions occurring in patients who received JAKAFI in the double-blind, placebo-controlled study during randomized treatment. Table 15: Myelofibrosis: Nonhematologic Adverse Reactions Occurring in Patients on JAKAFI in the Double-Blind, Placebo-Contro…

7.1Effect of Other Drugs on JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR Fluconazole Concomitant use of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR with fluconazole increases ruxolitinib exposure [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of exposure-related adverse reactions. Avoid concomitant use of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR with fluconazole doses of greater than 200 mg daily. Reduce the JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR dosage when used concomitantly with fluconazole doses of less than or equal to 200 mg [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.6 )] .
Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Concomitant use of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increases ruxolitinib exposure [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of exposure-related adverse reactions. Reduce the JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR dosage when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors except in patients with aGVHD or cGVHD [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.6 )] . Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Concomitant use of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR with strong CYP3A4 inducers may decrease ruxolitinib exposure [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce efficacy of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR.
Monitor patients frequently and adjust the JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR dose based on safety and efficacy [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Renal Impairment: Reduce JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR starting dose or avoid treatment as recommended. ( 2.7 , 8.6 ) Hepatic Impairment: Reduce JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR starting dose or avoid treatment as recommended. ( 2.7 , 8.7 ) Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary When pregnant rats and rabbits were administered ruxolitinib during the period of organogenesis adverse developmental outcomes occurred at doses associated with maternal toxicity (see Data) . There are no studies with the use of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risks. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown.
Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications. The background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. Data Animal Data Ruxolitinib was administered orally to pregnant rats or rabbits during the period of organogenesis, at doses of 15, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day in rats and 10, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day in rabbits.
There were no treatment-related malformations. Adverse developmental outcomes, such as decreases of approximately 9% in fetal weights were noted in rats at the highest and maternally toxic dose of 60 mg/kg/day. This dose results in an exposure (AUC) that is approximately 2 times the clinical exposure at the maximum recommended dose of 25 mg twice daily.
In rabbits, lower fetal weights of approximately 8% and increased late resorptions were noted at the highest and maternally toxic dose of 60 mg/kg/day. This dose is approximately 7% of the clinical exposure at the maximum recommended dose. In a pre- and post-natal development study in rats, pregnant animals were dosed with ruxolitinib from implantation through lactation at doses up to 30 mg/kg/day.
There were no drug-related adverse findings in pups for fertility indices or for maternal or embryofetal survival, growth, and development parameters at the highest dose evaluated (34% the clinical exposure at the maximum recommended dose of 25 mg twice daily).
8.2Lactation Risk Summary No data are available regarding the presence of ruxolitinib in human milk, the effects on the breast-fed child, or the effects on milk production. Ruxolitinib and/or its metabolites were present in the milk of lactating rats (see Data) . Because many drugs are present in human milk and because of the potential for thrombocytopenia and anemia shown for JAKAFI in human studies, discontinue breastfeeding during treatment with JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR and for 2 weeks after the final dose.
Data Animal Data Lactating rats were administered a single dose of [ 14 C]-labeled ruxolitinib (30 mg/kg) on postnatal Day 10, after which plasma and milk samples were collected for up to 24 hours. The AUC for total radioactivity in milk was approximately 13-fold the maternal plasma AUC. Additional analysis showed the presence of ruxolitinib and several of its metabolites in milk, all at levels higher than those in maternal plasma.

Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease The safety and effectiveness of JAKAFI for treatment of steroid-refractory aGVHD has been established for treatment of pediatric patients 12 years and older.
Use of JAKAFI in pediatric patients with steroid-refractory aGVHD is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled trials of JAKAFI in adults [ see Clinical Studies ( 14.3 )] and additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients. The safety and effectiveness of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR for treatment of steroid-refractory aGVHD has not been established in pediatric patients younger than 12 years old. Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease The safety and effectiveness of JAKAFI for treatment of cGVHD after failure of one or two lines of systemic therapy has been established for treatment of pediatric patients 12 years and older.
Use of JAKAFI in pediatric patients with cGVHD after failure of one or two lines of systemic therapy is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled trials of JAKAFI in adults and adolescents [ see Clinical Studies ( 14.4 )] and additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients. The safety and effectiveness of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR for treatment of cGVHD has not been established in pediatric patients younger than 12 years old. Other Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, Leukemias, and Solid Tumors The safety and effectiveness of ruxolitinib were assessed but not established in a single-arm trial (NCT01164163) in patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, leukemias, or myeloproliferative neoplasms.
The patients included 18 children (age 2 to < 12 years) and 14 adolescents (age 12 to < 17 years). Overall, 19% of patients received more than 1 cycle. No new safety signals were observed in pediatric patients in this trial.
The safety and effectiveness of ruxolitinib in combination with chemotherapy for treatment of high-risk, de novo CRLF2 rearranged or JAK pathway–mutant Ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were assessed but not established in a single-arm trial (NCT02723994). The patients included 2 infants (age < 2 years), 42 children (age 2 to < 12 years) and 62 adolescents (age 12 to < 17 years). No new safety signals were observed in pediatric patients in this trial.
Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data Administration of ruxolitinib to juvenile rats resulted in effects on growth and bone measures. When administered starting at postnatal Day 7 (the equivalent of a human newborn) at doses of 1.5 to 75 mg/kg/day, evidence of fractures occurred at doses ≥ 30 mg/kg/day, and effects on body weight and other bone measures (eg, bone mineral content, peripheral quantitative computed tomography, and x-ray analysis) occurred at doses ≥ 5 mg/kg/day. When administered starting at postnatal Day 21 (the equivalent of a human 2-3 years of age) at doses of 5 to 60 mg/kg/day, effects on body weight and bone occurred at doses ≥ 15 mg/kg/day, which were considered adverse at 60 mg/kg/day.
Males were more severely affected than females in all age groups, and effects were generally more severe when administration was initiated earlier in the postnatal period. These findings were observed at exposures that are at least 27% the clinical exposure at the maximum recommended dose of 25 mg twice daily.
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Of the total number of patients with MF in clinical studies with JAKAFI, 52% were 65 years and older, while 15% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of JAKAFI were observed between these patients and younger patients. Clinical studies of JAKAFI in patients with aGVHD did not include sufficient numbers of subjects age 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.
Of the total number of patients with cGVHD treated with JAKAFI in clinical trials, 11% were 65 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of JAKAFI were observed between these patients and younger patients.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE There is no known antidote for overdoses with JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR. Single doses up to 200 mg have been given with acceptable acute tolerability. Higher than recommended repeat doses are associated with increased myelosuppression including leukopenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Appropriate supportive treatment should be given. Hemodialysis is not expected to enhance the elimination of JAKAFI/JAKAFI XR.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Ruxolitinib, a kinase inhibitor, inhibits Janus Associated Kinases (JAKs), JAK1 and JAK2, which mediate the signaling of a number of cytokines and growth factors that are important for hematopoiesis and immune function. JAK signaling involves recruitment of STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription) to cytokine receptors, activation, and subsequent localization of STATs to the nucleus leading to modulation of gene expression. MF and PV are myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) known to be associated with dysregulated JAK1 and JAK2 signaling.
In a mouse model of JAK2V617F-positive MPN, oral administration of ruxolitinib prevented splenomegaly, preferentially decreased JAK2V617F mutant cells in the spleen and decreased circulating inflammatory cytokines (eg, TNF-α, IL-6). JAK-STAT signaling pathways play a role in regulating the development, proliferation, and activation of several immune cell types important for GVHD pathogenesis. In a mouse model of aGVHD, oral administration of ruxolitinib was associated with decreased expression of inflammatory cytokines in colon homogenates and reduced immune-cell infiltration in the colon.
12.2Pharmacodynamics JAKAFI inhibits cytokine-induced STAT3 phosphorylation in whole blood from patients with MF and PV. STAT3 phosphorylation reached maximal inhibition 2 hours after JAKAFI dosing and returned to near baseline by 10 hours in patients with MF and PV. Cardiac Electrophysiology At a dose of 1.25 to 10 times the highest recommended starting dosage, JAKAFI does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.
12.3Pharmacokinetics JAKAFI Mean ruxolitinib maximal plasma concentration (C max ) and AUC increased proportionally over a single dose range of 5 mg to 200 mg (4 times the approved highest recommended total daily dosage of 25 mg twice daily). Mean ruxolitinib C max ranged from 205 nM to 7100 nM and AUC ranged from 862 nM*hr to 30,700 nM*hr over a single dose range of 5 mg to 200 mg. Steady state is reached by Day 3 following repeat twice daily administration of JAKAFI.
JAKAFI XR Ruxolitinib C max and AUC increased in a dose proportional manner following single dose administration from the lowest to the highest strength of JAKAFI XR. Steady state is reached by Day 3 following repeat once daily administration of JAKAFI XR. Absorption JAKAFI Ruxolitinib achieves C max within 1 hour to 2 hours post-dose.
Oral absorption of ruxolitinib is estimated to be at least 95%. JAKAFI XR Ruxolitinib extended-release achieves C max within approximately 3 hours post-dose. Effect of Food JAKAFI and JAKAFI XR No clinically relevant changes in the pharmacokinetics of ruxolitinib were observed upon administration of JAKAFI with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories of which 50% were derived from fat).
Distribution The mean ruxolitinib volume of distribution at steady-state is 72 L (coefficient of variation [CV] 29%) in patients with MF and 75 L (23%) in patients with PV. Protein binding of ruxolitinib is approximately 97%, mostly to albumin. Elimination JAKAFI The mean elimination half-life of ruxolitinib is approximately 3 hours and the mean elimination half-life of ruxolitinib and its metabolites is approximately 5.8 hours in healthy volunteers.
Ruxolitinib clearance (%CV) was
17.7 L/h in women and
22.1L/h in men with MF (39%). Ruxolitinib clearance (%CV) was
12.7L/h (42%) in patients with PV. Ruxolitinib clearance (%CV) was

9.7L/h (51%) in patients with cGVHD. JAKAFI XR The mean elimination half-life of ruxolitinib extended-release is approximately 5 hours in healthy volunteers. Metabolism Ruxolitinib is metabolized by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C9. Excretion Following a single oral dose of radiolabeled ruxolitinib, 74% of radioactivity was excreted in urine and 22% via feces. Unchanged drug accounted for less than…
