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.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Severe Cutaneous Reactions : Monitor patients for the development of severe cutaneous reactions. Permanently discontinue Zydelig if confirmed. ( 2.2 , 5.6 ) Hypersensitivity Reactions : Permanently discontinue Zydelig and institute appropriate supportive measures.
( 2.2 , 5.7 ) Neutropenia : Monitor blood counts. Interrupt Zydelig until resolution and resume at reduced dose. ( 2.2 , 5.8 ) Embryo-fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm.
Advise females of reproductive potential of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.9 , 8.1 , 8.3 )
5.1Hepatotoxicity Fatal and/or serious hepatotoxicity occurred in 16% of patients treated with Zydelig in combination with rituximab or with unapproved combination therapies. Elevations in ALT or AST greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal have occurred [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. These findings were generally observed within the first 12 weeks of treatment and were reversible with dose interruption.
After resumption of treatment at a lower dose, 26% of patients had recurrence of ALT and AST elevations. Discontinue Zydelig for recurrent hepatotoxicity. Avoid concurrent use of Zydelig with other drugs that may cause liver toxicity.
Monitor ALT and AST in all patients every 2 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment, every 4 weeks for the next 3 months, then every 1 to 3 months thereafter. Monitor weekly for liver toxicity if the ALT or AST rises above 3 times the upper limit of normal until resolved. Withhold Zydelig if the ALT or AST is greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal, and continue to monitor AST, ALT and total bilirubin weekly until the abnormality is resolved [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ].
5.2Severe Diarrhea or Colitis Severe diarrhea or colitis (Grade 3 or higher) occurred in 20% of patients treated with Zydelig in combination with rituximab or with unapproved combination therapies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Diarrhea can occur at any time. Avoid concurrent use of Zydelig and other drugs that cause diarrhea.
Diarrhea due to Zydelig responds poorly to antimotility agents. Median time to resolution ranged between 1 week and 1 month across trials, following interruption of Zydelig therapy and in some instances, use of corticosteroids [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ].
5.3Pneumonitis Fatal and serious pneumonitis occurred in patients treated with Zydelig [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Clinical manifestations included interstitial infiltrates and organizing pneumonia. In randomized clinical trials of combination therapies, pneumonitis occurred in 4% of patients treated with Zydelig compared to 1% on the comparator arms.
Time to onset of pneumonitis ranged from <1 to 15 months. Monitor patients on Zydelig for pulmonary symptoms. In patients taking Zydelig who present with pulmonary symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, interstitial infiltrates on a radiologic exam, or a decline by more than 5% in oxygen saturation, interrupt Zydelig until the etiology has been determined.
If symptomatic pneumonitis or organizing pneumonia is diagnosed, initiate appropriate treatment with corticosteroids and permanently discontinue Zydelig [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .
5.4Infections Fatal and/or serious infections occurred in 48% of patients treated with Zydelig in combination with rituximab or with unapproved combination therapies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . The most common infections were pneumonia, sepsis, and febrile neutropenia. Treat infections prior to initiation of Zydelig therapy.
Monitor patients on Zydelig for signs and symptoms of infection, and interrupt Zydelig for Grade 3 or higher infection [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Serious or fatal Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) or cytomegalovirus (CMV) occurred in <1% of patients treated with Zydelig. Provide PJP prophylaxis during treatment with Zydelig.
Interrupt Zydelig in patients with suspected PJP infection of any grad… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling. Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Severe Diarrhea or Colitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Intestinal Perforation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Severe Cutaneous Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥30%) in patients treated with Zydelig in combination trials are diarrhea, pneumonia, pyrexia, fatigue, rash, cough, and nausea.
( 6.1 ) Common laboratory abnormalities are neutropenia, ALT elevations and AST elevations. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Gilead Sciences, Inc. at 1-800-GILEAD-5 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 practice. The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to Zydelig at a dosage of 150 mg twice daily in 110 patients administered in combination with rituximab in Study 312-0116, and in combination with other drugs in 380 patients.
Among 490 patients who received Zydelig, 74% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 50% were exposed for one year or longer. In this pooled safety population, the most common (> 30%) adverse reactions were diarrhea, pneumonia, pyrexia, fatigue, rash, cough, and nausea. Common laboratory abnormalities were neutropenia, ALT elevations and AST elevations.
Summary of Clinical Trials in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia The safety data reflect exposure to Zydelig from two randomized, double-blind clinical trials (Studies 312-0116 and 312-0115) in 634 patients with relapsed CLL [see Clinical Studies (14.1)] and one randomized, open-label trial in 259 patients with relapsed CLL (Study 312-0119). Zydelig with Rituximab (Study 312-0116) Patients with relapsed CLL received up to 8 doses of rituximab (R) with (n=110) or without Zydelig (n=108)150 mg twice daily. The median duration of exposure to Zydelig was 8 months.
Serious adverse reactions were reported in 65 (59%) patients treated with Zydelig + R The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported for patients treated with Zydelig + R were pneumonia (23%), diarrhea (10%), pyrexia (9%), sepsis (8%), and febrile neutropenia (5%). Adverse reactions that led to discontinuation of Zydelig occurred in 19 (17%) patients. The most common adverse reactions that led to treatment discontinuations were hepatotoxicity and diarrhea/colitis.
Forty-two (38%) patients had dose interruptions and sixteen (15%) patients had dose reductions due to adverse reactions or laboratory abnormalities. The most common reasons for dose interruptions or reductions were pneumonia, diarrhea or colitis, rash, and elevated transaminases. Table 2 and Table 3 summarize common adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities reported for Zydelig + R and placebo + R arms.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animal studies and the mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] , Zydelig may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of idelalisib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal weight and congenital malformations in rats at maternal exposures (AUC) 12 times those reported in patients at the recommended dosage of 150 mg twice daily (see Data ) .
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage of clinically recognized pregnancies 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals receiving oral doses of idelalisib during the period of organogenesis (implantation to closure of the hard palate), embryo-fetal toxicities were observed at the mid- and high-doses that also resulted in maternal toxicity, based on reductions in maternal body weight gain. Adverse findings at idelalisib doses ≥ 75 mg/kg/day included decreased fetal weights, external malformations (short tail), and skeletal variations (delayed ossification and/or unossification of the skull, vertebrae, and sternebrae).
Additional findings were observed at 150 mg/kg/day dose of idelalisib and included urogenital blood loss, complete resorption, increased post-implantation loss, and malformations (vertebral agenesis with anury, hydrocephaly, and microphthalmia/anophthalmia). The dose of 75 and 150 mg/kg/day of idelalisib in rats resulted in exposures (AUC) of approximately 12 and 30 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of idelalisib or its metabolites in human milk or its effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with Zydelig and for 1 month after the last dose.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Zydelig may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to starting Zydelig. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Zydelig and for 1 month after the last dose.
Males Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Zydelig and for 3 months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] .
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of Zydelig in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use Of the 490 patients with relapsed CLL who were treated with Zydelig in combination trials, 271 (55%) were 65 years of age and older. When comparing patients 65 years of age or older to younger patients with CLL, older patients had a higher incidence of discontinuation due to an adverse reaction (36% vs 28%), higher incidence of serious adverse reactions (73% vs 67%), and higher incidence of death (13% vs 9%).
8.6Hepatic Impairment No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with ALT or AST or bilirubin > upper limit of normal (ULN); however, limited safety and efficacy data are available for patients with baseline AST or ALT > 2.5 × ULN or bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Idelalisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PI3Kδ, which is expressed in normal and malignant B-cells. Idelalisib induced apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in cell lines derived from malignant B-cells and in primary tumor cells. Idelalisib inhibits several cell signaling pathways, including B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and the CXCR4 and CXCR5 signaling, which are involved in trafficking and homing of B-cells to the lymph nodes and bone marrow.
Treatment of lymphoma cells with idelalisib resulted in inhibition of chemotaxis and adhesion, and reduced cell viability.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology At a dose 2.7 times the maximum recommended dose, Zydelig did not prolong the QT/QTc interval (i.e., ≤10 ms).
12.3Pharmacokinetics Idelalisib exposure increased in a less than dose-proportional manner over a dose range of 50 mg to 350 mg twice daily (0.3 to 2.3 times the approved recommended dosage). Following 150 mg twice daily administration of idelalisib, average (% coefficient of variation) maximum concentrations (C max ) and area under the curve (AUC) at steady-state were 1861 (43%) ng/mL and 10598 (41%) ng∙h/mL for idelalisib. Absorption The median time to peak concentration (T max ) was observed at 1.5 hours.
Food Effect The administration of a single dose of Zydelig with a high-fat meal (900 calories: 525 calories fat, 250 calories carbohydrates, and 125 calories protein) increased idelalisib AUC 1.4-fold relative to fasting conditions. Distribution Protein binding of idelalisib is ≥ 84% with no concentration dependence. The mean blood-to-plasma ratio was 0.7.
The apparent central volume of distribution at steady state is 23 L (%CV ~85%). Idelalisib is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and BCRP in vitro. Elimination The population apparent systemic clearance at steady-state is
14.9L/hr (%CV ~ 38%). The population terminal elimination half-life of idelalisib is 8.2 hours. Metabolism Idelalisib is metabolized via aldehyde oxidase and CYP3A with additional minor metabolism by UGT1A4.
Excretion Following a single 150 mg dose of radiolabeled idelalisib, 78% of the radioactivity was excreted in feces and 14% was excreted in the urine. Idelalisib is not a substrate of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2. Specific Populations Age (18 to 91 years), sex, race (White, and non-Whites), renal impairment (creatinine clearance ≥ 15 mL/min) and weight (38 to 148 kg) had no effect on idelalisib exposure.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment The mean AUC increased up to 1.7-fold in patients with hepatic impairment (defined as ALT or AST or bilirubin values ≥ ULN) compared to patients with normal hepatic function. There is limited information on idelalisib exposure in patients with baseline AST or ALT > 2.5 × ULN or bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN [see Specific Populations (8.6) ]. Drug Interaction Studies Effect of Other Drugs on Idelalisib The coadministration of rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer and P-gp inducer) to healthy subjects decreased the mean idelalisib AUC by 75% and the mean C max by 58% [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ].
The coadministration of ketoconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor and P-gp inhibitor) to healthy subjects increased the mean idelalisib AUC by 1.8-fold. No changes in the mean C max were observed [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ]. In vitro studies suggest that idelalisib inhibits CYP2C8, CYP2C19, and UGT1A1 and induces CYP2B6.
Effect of Idelalisib on Other Drugs The mean C max of midazolam increased by 2.4-fold and the mean AUC of midazolam increased by 5.4-fold when midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) was coadministered with Zydelig [ see Drug Interactions (7.2) ]. No changes in exposure to rosuvastatin (OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 substrate) or digoxin (P-glycoprotein substrate) were observed when coadministered with Zydelig.

🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES Zydelig was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study GS-US-312-0116 (referred to as 312-0116) (NCT01539512) in 220 patients with relapsed CLL who required treatment and were unable to tolerate standard chemoimmunotherapy due to coexisting medical conditions, reduced renal function as measured by creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min, or NCI CTCAE Grade ≥ 3 neutropenia or Grade ≥ 3 thrombocytopenia resulting from myelotoxic effects of prior therapy with cytotoxic agents. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive 8 doses of rituximab (first dose at 375 mg/m 2 , subsequent doses at 500 mg/m 2 every 2 weeks for 4 infusions and every 4 weeks for an additional 4 infusions) in combination with either an placebo taken orally twice daily or with Zydelig 150 mg taken orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The median age was 71 years (range 47, 92) with 78% over 65, 66% were male, and 90% were White. The median time since diagnosis was 8.5 years. The median number of prior therapies was 3.
Nearly all (96%) patients had received prior anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. The most common (>15%) prior regimens were: bendamustine + rituximab (BR) (98 patients, 45%), fludarabine + cyclophosphamide + rituximab (75 patients, 34%), single-agent rituximab (67 patients, 31%), fludarabine + rituximab (37 patients, 17%), and chlorambucil (36 patients, 16%). The median CIRS (Cumulative Illness Rating Scale) score was 8 (range 0–17), and 85% of patients had a score of >6.
Median Karnofsky score was 80. Median estimated Creatinine Clearance (eCLcr) was 63.6 mL/min, with 41% of patients having an eCLcr of <60 mL/min. At screening, 19.5% of patients had a platelet count of <50 × 10 9 /L, and 13.2% had an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of <1 × 10 9 /L.
The efficacy of Zydelig was based on progression free survival (PFS), as assessed by an independent review committee (IRC). The trial was stopped for efficacy following the first pre-specified interim analysis. Results of a second interim analysis continued to show a statistically significant improvement for Zydelig + R compared to placebo + R for the major efficacy outcome measure of PFS (HR: 0.18, 95% CI [0.10, 0.32], p <0.0001).
At the final analysis, with a median follow-up of 8.3 months for the Zydelig + R group, and 5.6 months for the placebo + R group, the median PFS for the Zydelig + R group was 19.4 months (95% CI: 12.3, Not Reached) versus 6.5 months (95% CI: 4.0, 7.3) for the placebo + R group (HR: 0.15, 95% CI [0.09, 0.24], p < 0.0001).

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Idelalisib was not carcinogenic in a 26-week study in transgenic mice when administered daily by oral gavage at doses up to 500 mg/kg/day in males and 1000 mg/kg/day in females. Idelalisib was not carcinogenic in a 2-year study in rats when administered daily by oral gavage at exposures 0.40/0.62-fold (male/female), compared to the exposure in patients with hematologic malignancies administered the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily. Idelalisib did not induce mutations in the bacterial mutagenesis (Ames) assay and was not clastogenic in the in vitro chromosome aberration assay using human peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Idelalisib was genotoxic in males in the in vivo rat micronucleus study at a high dose of 2000 mg/kg. Idelalisib may impair fertility in humans. In a fertility study, treated male rats (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day of idelalisib) were mated with untreated females.
Decreased epididymidal and testicular weights were observed at all dose levels and reduced sperm concentration at the mid- and high doses; however, there were no adverse effects on fertility parameters. The low dose in males resulted in an exposure (AUC) that is approximately 50% of the exposure in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily. In a separate fertility study, treated female rats (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day of idelalisib) were mated with untreated males.
There were no adverse effects on fertility parameters; however, there was a decrease in the number of live embryos at the high dose. The high dose in females resulted in an exposure (AUC) that is approximately 17-fold the exposure in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily.
13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology Toxicities observed in animals and not reported in patients include cardiac toxicity (cardiomyopathy, inflammation, and increased heart weight) and pancreatic findings (inflammation, hemorrhage, and low-incidence acinar degeneration and hyperplasia). These findings were observed in Sprague-Dawley rats in toxicology studies at exposures (AUCs) higher than those reported in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily. Cardiac inflammation was mainly seen in a 28-day study in rats, the other findings were observed in the 13-week and/or 6-month studies.
📄 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility ▾
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Idelalisib was not carcinogenic in a 26-week study in transgenic mice when administered daily by oral gavage at doses up to 500 mg/kg/day in males and 1000 mg/kg/day in females. Idelalisib was not carcinogenic in a 2-year study in rats when administered daily by oral gavage at exposures 0.40/0.62-fold (male/female), compared to the exposure in patients with hematologic malignancies administered the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily. Idelalisib did not induce mutations in the bacterial mutagenesis (Ames) assay and was not clastogenic in the in vitro chromosome aberration assay using human peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Idelalisib was genotoxic in males in the in vivo rat micronucleus study at a high dose of 2000 mg/kg. Idelalisib may impair fertility in humans. In a fertility study, treated male rats (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day of idelalisib) were mated with untreated females.
Decreased epididymidal and testicular weights were observed at all dose levels and reduced sperm concentration at the mid- and high doses; however, there were no adverse effects on fertility parameters. The low dose in males resulted in an exposure (AUC) that is approximately 50% of the exposure in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily. In a separate fertility study, treated female rats (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day of idelalisib) were mated with untreated males.
There were no adverse effects on fertility parameters; however, there was a decrease in the number of live embryos at the high dose. The high dose in females resulted in an exposure (AUC) that is approximately 17-fold the exposure in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily.
