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.

🚨 Boxed Warning ▾
WARNING: QT PROLONGATION, TORSADES DE POINTES, and CARDIAC ARREST VANFLYTA prolongs the QT interval in a dose- and concentration-related manner [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Prior to VANFLYTA administration and periodically, monitor for hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, and correct deficiencies. Perform ECGs to monitor the QTc at baseline, weekly during induction and consolidation therapy, weekly for at least the first month of maintenance, and periodically thereafter [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].
Torsades de pointes and cardiac arrest have occurred in patients receiving VANFLYTA. Do not administer VANFLYTA to patients with severe hypokalemia, severe hypomagnesemia, or long QT syndrome [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Do not initiate treatment with VANFLYTA or escalate the VANFLYTA dose if the QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) is greater than 450 ms [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
Monitor ECGs more frequently if concomitant use of drugs known to prolong the QT interval is required [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Reduce the VANFLYTA dose when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inhibitors, as they may increase quizartinib exposure [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Because of the risk of QT prolongation, VANFLYTA is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the VANFLYTA REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] .

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS VANFLYTA is contraindicated in patients with severe hypokalemia, severe hypomagnesemia, long QT syndrome, or in patients with a history of ventricular arrhythmias or torsades de pointes [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Contraindicated in patients with severe hypokalemia, severe hypomagnesemia, long QT syndrome, or in patients with a history of ventricular arrhythmias or torsades de pointes. ( 4 , 5.1 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS QT Prolongation, Torsades de Pointes, and Cardiac Arrest: Monitor electrocardiograms and levels of serum electrolytes. Reduce, interrupt, or permanently discontinue VANFLYTA as appropriate. ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: VANFLYTA can cause fetal harm.
Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 )
5.1QT Prolongation, Torsades de Pointes, and Cardiac Arrest VANFLYTA prolongs the QT interval in a dose- and concentration-dependent manner. The mechanism of QTc interval prolongation is via inhibition of the slow delayed rectifier potassium current, I Ks , as compared to all other medications that prolong the QTc interval, which is via the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current, I Kr . Therefore, the level of QTc prolongation with VANFLYTA that predicts the risk of cardiac arrhythmias is unclear.
Inhibition of I Ks and I Kr may leave patients with limited reserve leading to a higher risk of QT prolongation and serious cardiac arrhythmias, including fatal outcomes [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Torsades de pointes, ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest, and sudden death have occurred in patients treated with VANFLYTA. Of the 1,081 patients with AML treated with VANFLYTA in clinical trials, torsades de pointes occurred in approximately 0.2% of patients, cardiac arrest occurred in 0.6%, including 0.4% with a fatal outcome, and 0.1% of patients experienced ventricular fibrillation [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .
These severe cardiac arrhythmias occurred predominantly during the induction phase. Of the 265 patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD-positive AML treated with VANFLYTA in combination with chemotherapy in the clinical trial, 2.3% were found to have a QTcF greater than 500 ms and 10% of patients had an increase from baseline QTcF greater than 60 ms. The clinical trial excluded patients with a QTcF ≥450 ms or other factors that increased the risk of QT prolongation or arrhythmic events (e.g., NYHA Class III or IV congestive heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT interval syndrome).
Therefore, avoid use in patients who are at significant risk of developing torsades de pointes, including uncontrolled or significant cardiac disease, recent myocardial infarction, heart failure, unstable angina, bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, high-degree atrioventricular block, severe aortic stenosis, or uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Do not initiate treatment with VANFLYTA if the QTcF interval is greater than 450 ms. Do not use VANFLYTA in patients with severe hypokalemia, severe hypomagnesemia, long QT syndrome, or in patients with a history of ventricular arrhythmias or torsades de pointes [see Contraindications (4) ] .
Perform an ECG and correct electrolyte abnormalities prior to initiation of treatment with VANFLYTA. During induction and consolidation, perform an ECG prior to initiation and then once weekly during VANFLYTA treatment or more frequently as clinically indicated. During maintenance, perform ECGs prior to initiation, once weekly for at least the first month following dose initiation and escalation, and as clinically indicated thereafter.
Do not escalate the dose if QTcF is greater than 450 ms [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Perform ECG monitoring of the QT interval more frequently in patients who are at significant risk of developing QT interval prolongation and torsades de pointes, or following dose escalation. Monitor and correct hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia prior to and during treatment with VANFLYTA.
Maintain electrolytes in the normal range. Monitor electrolytes and ECGs more frequently in patients who experience diarrhea or vomiting. Monitor patients more frequently with ECGs if coadministration of VANFLYTA with drugs known to prolong the QT interval is required [see Drug Interactions (7) ] .

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. Newly Diagnosed FLT3-ITD positive AML The safety of VANFLYTA (35.4 mg orally once daily with chemotherapy, 26.5 mg to 53 mg orally once daily as maintenance) in adult patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD positive AML is based on QuANTUM-First, a randomized, double-blind clinical trial of VANFLYTA (n=265) or placebo (n=268) with chemotherapy [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
Among patients who received VANFLYTA, 38% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 30% were exposed for greater than one year. On the VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy arm, 65% and 44% of patients completed induction and consolidation therapy, respectively, compared to 65% and 34% of patients in the placebo plus chemotherapy arm. Serious adverse reactions in ≥5% of patients who received VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy were: febrile neutropenia (11%).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 10% of patients who received VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy, including sepsis (5%), fungal infections (0.8%), brain edema (0.8%), and one case each of febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, cerebral infarction, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary embolism, ventricular dysfunction, and cardiac arrest. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction in patients in the VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy arm occurred in 20% of patients. The most frequent (≥2%) adverse reaction which resulted in permanent discontinuation in the VANFLYTA arm was sepsis (5%).
Dosage interruptions of VANFLYTA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 34% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥2% of patients in the VANFLYTA arm included neutropenia (11%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and myelosuppression (3%). Dose reductions of VANFLYTA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 19% of patients.
Adverse reactions which required dosage reductions in ≥2% of patients in the VANFLYTA arm were neutropenia (9%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and electrocardiogram QT prolonged (4%). The most common adverse reactions (≥10% with a difference between arms of ≥2% compared to placebo), including laboratory abnormalities, were lymphocytes decreased, potassium decreased, albumin decreased, phosphorus decreased, alkaline phosphatase increased, magnesium decreased, febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, mucositis, nausea, calcium decreased, abdominal pain, sepsis, neutropenia, headache, creatine phosphokinase increased, vomiting, upper respiratory tract infections, hypertransaminasemia, thrombocytopenia, decreased appetite, fungal infections, epistaxis, potassium increased, herpesvirus infections, insomnia, electrocardiogram QT prolonged, magnesium increased, sodium increased, dyspepsia, anemia, and eye irritation.

Concomitant use of VANFLYTA with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases quizartinib systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of VANFLYTA adverse reactions. Prevention or Management Reduce the dosage of VANFLYTA [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ].
Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VANFLYTA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers decreases quizartinib systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce VANFLYTA efficacy. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VANFLYTA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . QT Interval Prolonging Drugs Clinical Impact VANFLYTA prolongs the QT/QTc interval.
Coadministration of VANFLYTA with other drugs that prolong the QT interval may further increase the incidence of QT prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Prevention or Management Monitor patients more frequently with ECG if co-administration of VANFLYTA with drugs known to prolong the QT interval is required. Examples of QT prolonging drugs include but are not limited to antifungal azoles, ondansetron, granisetron, azithromycin, pentamidine, doxycycline, moxifloxacin, atovaquone, prochlorperazine, and tacrolimus.
Breast Cancer Resistant Protein (BCRP) Substrates Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VANFLYTA with BCRP substrates may increase the risk of BCRP substrate-associated adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VANFLYTA with drugs that are BCRP substrates where possible. If concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor patients more frequently for BCRP substrate-associated adverse reactions and decrease the BCRP substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information.
Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Reduce the VANFLYTA dose. ( 2.4 , 7 ) Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7 , 12.3 ) Breast Cancer Resistant Protein (BCRP) substrates: Avoid concomitant use.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, VANFLYTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on VANFLYTA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of quizartinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes including structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at maternal exposures approximately 3 times those in patients at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 53 mg/day ( see Data ).
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2-4%, and of miscarriage is 15-20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals received oral doses of quizartinib of 0, 0.6, 2, or 6 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis.
Administration of quizartinib at the dose of 6 mg/kg/day was associated with adverse developmental outcomes including structural abnormalities (anasarca and edema) and alterations to growth (lower fetal weights and effects on skeletal ossification). At this dose, the maternal systemic exposures (AUC) were approximately 3 times the human exposure at the MRHD of 53 mg/day.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of quizartinib or its metabolites in human milk, or the effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with VANFLYTA and for one month after the last dose.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential VANFLYTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential within seven days before starting treatment with VANFLYTA. Contraception Females Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VANFLYTA and for 7 months after the last dose.
Males Based on genotoxicity findings, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VANFLYTA and for 4 months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Infertility Females Based on findings from animal studies, VANFLYTA may impair female fertility. These effects on fertility were reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] .
Males Based on findings from animal studies, VANFLYTA may impair male fertility. These effects on fertility were reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ].
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of VANFLYTA have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5Geriatric Use There were 533 patients with newly diagnosed AML in the clinical study; of the total number of VANFLYTA-treated patients, 69 (26%) were 65 years of age and older, while 1 (0.4%) was 75 years of age [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.
8.6Renal Impairment No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (i.e., estimated creatinine clearance [CLcr] by Cockcroft-Gault equation: CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min). VANFLYTA has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
8.7Hepatic Impairment No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A or total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any value for AST) or moderate hepatic im… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Quizartinib is a small molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3. Quizartinib and its major active metabolite AC886 bind to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding domain of FLT3 with comparable affinity, and both had 10-fold lower affinity towards FLT3-ITD mutation compared to FLT3 in a binding assay. Quizartinib and AC886 inhibited FLT3 kinase activity, preventing autophosphorylation of the receptor, thereby inhibiting downstream FLT3 receptor signaling and blocking FLT3-ITD-dependent cell proliferation.
Quizartinib showed antitumor activity in a mouse model of FLT3-ITD-dependent leukemia.
12.2Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of quizartinib have not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology In vitro studies have shown that quizartinib is a predominant inhibitor of the slow delayed rectifier potassium current, I Ks . The exposure-response analysis predicted a concentration-dependent QTcF interval median prolongation of 18 and 24 ms [upper bound of 2-sided 90% confidence interval (CI): 21 and 27 ms] at the median steady-state C max of quizartinib at the 26.5 mg and 53 mg dose level during maintenance therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7) ] .
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of quizartinib and its major circulating active metabolite (AC886) were characterized in healthy subjects and in patients with cancer and are presented as geometric mean (percent coefficient of variation [%CV]) unless otherwise specified. Steady state quizartinib concentrations were achieved at Day 15 following once daily dosage in patients with AML. Quizartinib exposure (AUC and C max ) increased proportionally in the dose range of 26.5 mg (0.75 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) to 79.5 mg (2.25 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) in healthy subjects and 17.7 mg (0.5 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) to 53 mg (1.5 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) in patients with AML.

After oral administration under fasted conditions, time to peak concentration (median T max ) of quizartinib and AC886 measured post dose was approximately 4 hours (range 2 to 8 hours) and 5 to 6 hours (range 4 to 120 hours), respectively, in healthy subjects. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of quizartinib were observed when administered with a high-fat, high-calorie meal. Distribution Volume of distribution at steady state in healthy subjects was estimated to be 275 L (17%).
In vitro plasma protein binding of quizartinib and AC886 is 99% or greater. In vitro blood-to-plasma ratio for quizartinib and AC886 ranges from 0.79-1.30 and 1.36-3.19, respectively. Elimination Total body clearance of quizartinib in healthy subjects was estimated to be

🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of VANFLYTA in combination with chemotherapy was evaluated in QuANTUM-First (NCT02668653), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 539 patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD positive AML. FLT3-ITD status was determined prospectively with a clinical trial assay and verified retrospectively using the companion diagnostic LeukoStrat ® CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay, which is an FDA-approved test for selection of patients with AML for VANFLYTA treatment. Patients were stratified by age (<60 versus ≥60 years), white blood cell count at diagnosis (<40×10 9 /L versus ≥40×10 9 /L), and region (North America, Europe versus Asia, other regions).
Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive VANFLYTA (n=268) or placebo (n=271) in combination with induction and consolidation therapy and as maintenance monotherapy according to the initial assignment, as follows: a) Induction : 35.4 mg orally once daily on Days 8-21 of 7 + 3 (cytarabine [100 or 200 mg/m 2 /day] on Days 1 to 7 plus daunorubicin [60 mg/m 2 /day] or idarubicin [12 mg/m 2 /day] on Days 1 to 3) and on Days 8-21 or 6-19 of an optional second induction (7 + 3 or 5 + 2 [5 days cytarabine plus 2 days daunorubicin or idarubicin], respectively), b) Consolidation : 35.4 mg orally once daily on Days 6-19 of high-dose cytarabine (1.5 to 3 g/m 2 every 12 hours on Days 1, 3 and 5) for up to 4 cycles, and c) Maintenance : 26.5 mg orally once daily on Days 1 to 14 and 53 mg once daily thereafter for up to thirty-six 28-day cycles.
There was no re-randomization at the start of post consolidation therapy. Patients who proceeded to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) initiated maintenance therapy after recovery from the HSCT. The two treatment groups were generally balanced with respect to baseline demographics and disease characteristics.
Of the 539 randomized patients, the median age was 56 years (range 20-75 years); 46% were male; 60% were White, 29% were Asian, 1% were Black, and 10% were other races. Eighty-four percent had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) baseline performance status of 0 or 1. The majority of the patients (72%) had intermediate risk cytogenetics at baseline.
FLT3-ITD variant allelic frequency (VAF) was 3-25% in 36% of patients, >25-50% in 52% of patients, and >50% in 12% of patients. NPM1 mutations were identified in 52% of patients. A second course of induction was administered to 20% of the patients, 65% initiated at least one cycle of consolidation, and 39% initiated maintenance.
Among the patients who entered maintenance, 64% completed at least 12 cycles, 36% completed at least 24 cycles, and 16% completed all 36 planned cycles of maintenance. Twenty-nine percent (157/539) of the patients underwent HSCT in first complete remission (CR). The overall rate of HSCT (including the following settings: first CR, induction failure, or salvage after relapse) was 54% (144/268) in the VANFLYTA plus standard chemotherapy arm versus 47% (128/271) in the placebo plus standard chemotherapy arm.
All patients were followed for survival. Efficacy was established on the basis of overall survival (OS), measured from the date of randomization until death by any cause. The primary analysis was conducted after a minimum follow-up of 24 months after the randomization of the last patient.
The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS for the VANFLYTA arm [hazard ratio (HR) 0.78; 95% CI: 0.62, 0.98; 2-sided p=0.0324] (see Figure 1 ). Figure 1: Kaplan-Meier Curve for Overall Survival in QuANTUM-First In an exploratory subgroup analysis of the 89/208 (43%) of patients who received maintenance therapy with VANFLYTA or placebo following consolidation chemotherapy, the OS HR was 0.40 (95% CI: 0.19, 0.84). Of 119/208 (57%) of patients who received maintenance therapy with VANFLYTA or placebo following HSCT, the OS HR was 1.62 (95% CI: 0.62, 4.22).
The CR rate in the VANFLYTA arm was 55% (95% CI: 48.7, 60.9) with a me… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with quizartinib. Quizartinib was mutagenic in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay and not mutagenic in an in vivo transgenic rat mutation assay. Quizartinib was not genotoxic in vitro in mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase mutation and human lymphocyte chromosome aberration assays, or in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.
Fertility studies in animals have not been conducted with quizartinib. However, adverse findings in male and female reproductive systems were observed in repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats and monkeys. Findings in female animals (rats or monkeys) included ovarian cysts, vaginal mucosal modifications, and atrophy of the uterus, ovary, and vagina, starting at exposures (AUC) approximately 0.2 times the MRHD of 53 mg/day.
In male animals (rats and monkeys), findings included testicular seminiferous tubular degeneration, failure of sperm release, germ cell depletion in the testes, and oligospermia/aspermia, starting at exposures approximately 0.4 times the MRHD. After approximately one month of recovery period, all these findings except the vaginal mucosal modifications in the female rats were reversible.
