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.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Diarrhea : Severe diarrhea, including dehydration, acute kidney injury, and death, has been reported. Administer antidiarrheal treatment as clinically indicated. Interrupt dose, then dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TUKYSA based on severity.
( 2.2 , 5.1 ) • Hepatotoxicity : Severe hepatotoxicity has been reported on TUKYSA. Monitor ALT, AST and bilirubin prior to starting TUKYSA, every 3 weeks during treatment and as clinically indicated. Interrupt dose, then dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TUKYSA based on severity.
( 2.2 , 5.2 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : TUKYSA can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Also, refer to the Full Prescribing Information of trastuzumab and capecitabine for pregnancy and contraception information.
5.1Diarrhea TUKYSA can cause severe diarrhea including dehydration, hypotension, acute kidney injury, and death [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . If diarrhea occurs, administer antidiarrheal treatment as clinically indicated. Perform diagnostic tests as clinically indicated to exclude other causes of diarrhea.
Based on the severity of the diarrhea, interrupt dose, then dose reduce or permanently discontinue TUKYSA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . TUKYSA with trastuzumab and capecitabine In HER2CLIMB, 81% of patients who received TUKYSA experienced diarrhea, including 0.5% with Grade 4 diarrhea and 12% with Grade 3 diarrhea. Both patients who developed Grade 4 diarrhea subsequently died, with diarrhea as a contributor to death.
The median time to onset of the first episode of diarrhea was 12 days and the median time to resolution was 8 days. Diarrhea led to dose reductions of TUKYSA in 6% of patients and discontinuation of TUKYSA in 1% of patients. Prophylactic use of antidiarrheal treatment was not required on HER2CLIMB.
TUKYSA with trastuzumab In MOUNTAINEER, diarrhea occurred in 64% of patients, including Grade 3 (3.5%), Grade 2 (10%), and Grade 1 (50%).
5.2Hepatotoxicity TUKYSA can cause severe hepatotoxicity [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Monitor ALT, AST, and bilirubin prior to starting TUKYSA, every 3 weeks during treatment, and as clinically indicated. Based on the severity of hepatotoxicity, interrupt dose, then dose reduce or permanently discontinue TUKYSA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .
TUKYSA with trastuzumab and capecitabine In HER2CLIMB, 8% of patients who received TUKYSA had an ALT increase > 5 × ULN, 6% had an AST increase > 5 × ULN, and 1.5% had a bilirubin increase > 3 × ULN (Grade ≥3). Hepatotoxicity led to dose reduction of TUKYSA in 8% of patients and discontinuation of TUKYSA in 1.5% of patients. TUKYSA with trastuzumab In MOUNTAINEER, 6% of patients had a bilirubin increase > 3 × ULN (Grade ≥3), 6% had an AST increase > 5 × ULN, and 4.7% had an ALT increase > 5 × ULN.
Hepatotoxicity led to dose reduction of TUKYSA in 3.5% of patients and discontinuation of TUKYSA in 2.3% of patients.
5.3Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, TUKYSA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of tucatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal mortality, reduced fetal weight and fetal abnormalities at maternal exposures ≥ 1.3 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus.
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3 )] . TUKYSA is used in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine.

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. HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer The safety of TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine was evaluated in HER2CLIMB [see Clinical Studies (14) ]. Patients received either TUKYSA 300 mg twice daily plus trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product, and capecitabine (n=404) or placebo plus trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product and capecitabine (n=197).
The median duration of treatment was 5.8 months (range: 3 days, 2.9 years) for the TUKYSA arm. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 26% of patients who received TUKYSA. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients who received TUKYSA were diarrhea (4%), vomiting (2.5%), nausea (2%), abdominal pain (2%), and seizure (2%).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2% of patients who received TUKYSA including sudden death, sepsis, dehydration, and cardiogenic shock. Adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 6% of patients who received TUKYSA. Adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation of TUKYSA in ≥1% of patients were hepatotoxicity (1.5%) and diarrhea (1%).
Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction occurred in 21% of patients who received TUKYSA. Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction of TUKYSA in ≥2% of patients were hepatotoxicity (8%) and diarrhea (6%).

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Tucatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of HER2. In vitro, tucatinib inhibits phosphorylation of HER2 and HER3, resulting in inhibition of downstream MAPK and AKT signaling and cell proliferation, and showed anti-tumor activity in HER2 expressing tumor cells. In vivo, tucatinib inhibited the growth of HER2 expressing tumors.
The combination of tucatinib and trastuzumab showed increased anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo compared to either drug alone.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Exposure Response Relationship Tucatinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics response have not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology No large mean increase in QTc (i.e., > 20 ms) was detected following treatment with TUKYSA at the recommended dose of 300 mg taken orally twice daily.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Tucatinib AUC 0-INF and C max increased proportionally over a dosage range from 50 mg to 300 mg (0.17 to 1 times the approved recommended dosage). Time to steady state was approximately 4 days. Steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters following administration of TUKYSA 300 mg twice daily for 7 days in patients with mBC and mCRC are described in Table 9.
The geometric mean (CV%) tucatinib AUC accumulation ratios ranged from 2.0 (26) fold to 2.5 (28) fold.

Effects of Food Following administration of a single oral dose of TUKYSA in 11 subjects after a high-fat meal (approximately 58% fat, 26% carbohydrate, and 16% protein), the mean AUC 0-INF increased by 1.5-fold, the T max shifted from 1.5 hours to 4 hours, and C max was unaltered.
The effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of tucatinib was not clinically meaningful. Distribution The geometric mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution of tucatinib at steady-state were 903 (42) L and 829 (21) L in patients with mBC and mCRC, respectively. The plasma protein binding was 97.1% at clinically relevant concentrations.
At steady-state, concentrations of tucatinib and its metabolite ONT-993 in the cerebrospinal fluid were comparable to unbound plasma concentrations. Elimination At steady-state, tucatinib effective half-life was approximately 11.9 hours and geometric mean (CV%) apparent clearance was 53 (43) L/h in patients with mBC. Tucatinib effective half-life was approximately 16.4 hours and geometric mean (CV%) apparent clearance was 89 (49) L/h in patients with mCRC.
Metabolism Tucatinib is metabolized primarily by CYP2C8 and to a lesser extent via CYP3A. Excretion Following a single oral dose of 300 mg radiolabeled tucatinib, approximately 86% of the total radiolabeled dose was recovered in feces (16% of the administered dose as unchanged tucatinib) and 4.1% in urine with an overall total recovery of 90% within 13 days post-dose. In plasma, approximately 76% of the plasma radioactivity was unchanged, 19% was attributed to identified metabolites, and approximately 5% was unassigned.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer The efficacy of TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine was evaluated in 612 patients in HER2CLIMB (NCT02614794), a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were required to have HER2-positive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, with or without brain metastases, and prior treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) separately or in combination, in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic setting.
HER2 positivity was based on archival or fresh tissue tested with an FDA-approved test at a central laboratory prior to enrollment with HER2 positivity defined as HER2 IHC 3+ or ISH positive. Patients with brain metastases, including those with progressing or untreated lesions, were eligible provided they were neurologically stable and did not require immediate radiation or surgery. The trial excluded patients with leptomeningeal disease.
Randomization was stratified by the presence or history of brain metastases (yes vs. no), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (0 vs. 1), and region (U.S., Canada, or rest of world). Patients received TUKYSA 300 mg or placebo orally twice daily with a trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product loading dose of 8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycle 1 if needed and then a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle thereafter and capecitabine 1000 mg/m 2 orally twice daily on Days 1 through 14 of every 21-day cycle.
An alternate trastuzumab dosing regimen was 600 mg administered subcutaneously on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor assessments, including brain-MRI in patients with presence or history of brain metastases at baseline, occurred every 6 weeks for the first 24 weeks and every 9 weeks thereafter.
The major efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) in the first 480 randomized patients assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Additional efficacy outcome measures were evaluated in all randomized patients and included overall survival (OS), PFS among patients with a history or presence of brain metastases (PFS BrainMets ), and confirmed objective response rate (ORR). The median age was 54 years (range: 22 - 82); 116 (19%) patients were age 65 or older.
The majority were White (73%) and female (99%) and 51% had an ECOG performance status of 1. Sixty percent had estrogen and/or progesterone receptor-positive disease. Forty-eight percent had a presence or history of brain metastases; of these patients, 23% had untreated brain metastases, 40% had treated but stable brain metastases, and 37% had treated but radiographically progressing brain metastases.
Seventy-four percent of patients had visceral metastases. Patients had received a median of 4 (range, 2 to 17) prior lines of systemic therapy and a median of 3 (range, 1 to 14) prior lines of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting. All patients received prior trastuzumab and T-DM1 and all but two patients had prior pertuzumab.
Efficacy results are summarized in Table 12 and Figure 1 and 2. Efficacy results were consistent across patient subgroups defined by stratification factors (presence or history of brain metastases, ECOG status, region of world) and hormone receptor status.

🧪 Nonclinical Toxicology ▾
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with tucatinib. Tucatinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Tucatinib was not clastogenic in either an in vitro chromosome aberration assay or an in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay.
Fertility studies in animals have not been conducted. In repeat-dose toxicity studies up to 13 weeks duration, decreased corpora lutea/corpus luteum cyst, increased interstitial cells of the ovary, atrophy of the uterus, and mucification of the vagina were observed in female rats at doses ≥ 6 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.1 times the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC). Atrophy and edema of the testes and oligospermia/germ cell debris in the epididymides were observed in male rats at ≥ 120 mg/kg/day (approximately 13 times the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC).

What is TUKYSA? TUKYSA is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with: • a type of breast cancer called human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. TUKYSA is used with the medicines trastuzumab and capecitabine, when your cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as the brain (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery, and you have received one or more anti-HER2 breast cancer treatments. • a type of colorectal cancer called RAS wild-type HER2-positive colorectal cancer.
TUKYSA is used with the medicine trastuzumab, when your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery, and you have received treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy and it did not work or is no longer working. It is not known if TUKYSA is safe and effective in children. Before taking TUKYSA, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: • have liver problems. • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
TUKYSA can harm your unborn baby. Females who are able to become pregnant: o Your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with TUKYSA. o You should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose of TUKYSA. Talk with your healthcare provider about forms of birth control that you can use during this time. o Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant during treatment with TUKYSA.
Males with female partner who are able to become pregnant should use effective birth control during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose of TUKYSA. • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
